If you're actually experiencing it, I don't know who you're hanging out with, but I can tell you that things aren't as polarized here as they may seem. > I have to remind my American friends that in Canada, being called a > liberal is not an insult.

"Liberal" is an insult here not because Americans aren't tolerant but because the meaning of the word has been perverted. As for American liberals being tolerant of other people's points of view, I don't see much of that, but then again, I do live in Seattle, so I shouldn't be surprised. > Benjamin also doesn't sound very enthusiastic about moving to Canada.

I did not *enthusiastically* support the war. I was quite torn about the war, and I never supported the way Bush was dealing with the situation as a whole. I did suggest that Russia and France were acting in naked self-interest rather than any real desire for "peace," I lamented the corruption of the UN and the erosion of sanctions, and I advised reading Pollack's book "The Threatening Storm." I will confess, I placed more faith in certain sources regarding WMD than turned out to be wise -- but so did many people a lot smarter than me. And, eventually, I even publicly stated on this List that I was wrong about some things, and that I regretted not being even more critical about my government. I have become much more cynical over these last few years. >I made the mistake of assuming that all women were nurturing > protective types who would naturally be against the war in Iraq.

Your naivety is not touching; it is frustrating; more so because you do not see it as indicative of more work to be done on your part.

Weird little story - it's on my website, but idiosyncratic, kind of open and vulnerable enough to be recounted here... On February 27th, 1967, the British colonies of St Kitts-Nevis and Anguilla, in the Windward chain of the Caribbean Antilles, were granted limited independence from Britain in the form of Associate Statehood, with ministerial government and an appointed governor. The state became a member of the Commonwealth, and a new nation was born. Though not the smallest country in the world, it was tiny, covering some 400 square kilometres, and with a population of around 55,000. However, as with many forced amalgamations of two former colonies, all was not happy in this island paradise. Anguilla, which had long looked to Britain for its governance but which was too small and distant from it to be really affected by its laws, now faced the prospect of being governed from its large neighbour 100 kilometres to the south. The 6,000 inhabitants were by no means impressed with this situation, and in July of 1967, just five months after the formation of the new country, Anguilla repudiated the authority of the St Kitts government and seceded from the union. Two years later, the island unilaterally declared itself independent as the Republic of Anguilla. St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla's government, having no armed forces of its own, and precious little in the way of a police force, asked Britain for help in putting down this peaceful uprising. Britain duly sent a unit of the metropolitan police force to the island, and in scenes which would not have been out of place in the comedy movie Water the islanders welcomed the "invading army" with open arms. A vice regal commissioner from Britain was appointed to administer the island, and Anguilla was eventually returned to the status its people wanted to have all along, that of British colony - a status it still has. During the period of Anguilla's "independence", two flags were used on the island. The first, an ugly flag with a blue oval containing two white mermaids surrounded by a red border with the words "Republic of Anguilla" boldly written on it in yellow, only lasted about a month and a half before protests from the islanders forced a change to a simple yet beautiful flag, the so called "Dolphin Flag". This flag is white, with a pale blue stripe in the base, and above this are three orange-yellow dolphins formed into a circle. The island kept this flag until colonial status was regained, and today uses a Blue ensign flag (similar to Australia's and New Zealand's), with the design of the dolphin flag on a shield-shaped badge in the fly. The 'dolphin flag' is still used in an unofficial capacity by islanders.
