- This is just a standard scare-tactic that some people use to get other, more
- stupid people to pay attention to them. Canada will most definitely *NOT*
- split up as it would mean economic disaster for everyone involved. Americans
- like to believe these fantasy stories, however, because many of them still
- believe in the Manifest Destiny of America taking over the whole continent
- (including Mexico). Probably many are still sore about losing the war of
- 1812.
