I will stand right beside you!  There won't be true peace in this country until we have the conviction to stand up and defend ourselves.  It will unite this country, and it won't be a passing feeling of unity either.  You don't know what you got 'til it's gone.  We are losing our country and by the time we stand and say NO MORE and do something about it, we will have come so close to losing it that when we take it back, UNITED WE WILL STAND AGAIN!!!

Amanece: ¿no veis, a la luz de la aurora,\nLo que tanto aclamamos la noche al caer?\nSus estrellas, sus barras flotaban ayer\nEn el fiero combate en señal de victoria,\nFulgor de cohetes, de bombas estruendo,\nPor la noche decían: "!Se va defendiendo!"\n\nCoro:\n!Oh, decid! ¿Despliega aún su hermosura estrellada,\nSobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?\n\n\nEn la costa lejana que apenas blanquea,\nDonde yace nublada la hueste feroz\nSobre aquel precipicio que elévase atroz\n¡Oh, decidme! ¿Qué es eso que en la brisa ondea?\nSe oculta y flamea, en el alba luciendo,\nReflejada en la mar, donde va resplandeciendo\n\n\nCoro:\n!Aún allí desplegó su hermosura estrellada,\nSobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!\n\n\n¡Oh así sea siempre, en lealtad defendamos\nNuestra tierra natal contra el torpe invasor!\nA Dios quien nos dio paz, libertad y honor,\nNos mantuvo nación, con fervor bendigamos.\nNuestra causa es el bien, y por eso triunfamos.\nSiempre fue nuestro lema "¡En Dios confiamos!"\n\n\nCoro:\n!Y desplegará su hermosura estrellada,\nSobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!

Happy 23rd Amu.\n\nF.Y.I.  April 5th, not only marks the anniversary of your birth, but also the beginning of 'Your Adventure'.  It is the point at which 'Your Quest' began.  All the good people that you've known, and all the goodness that you've encountered began on that special day.  \n\nAnd, since that day, you've blessed the world with your smiles, your insights, and your caring nature.  I've read through some of the answers that you've provided to others in need.  You seem to genuinely care for people, and have a sincere desire to help.  Those qualities are special and rare.  And, no doubt they will be rewarded.\n\nSo, smile on Your Special Day.  For, although there may be some sadness in your heart, that heart is big.  Big enough to hold great love, which will find you in due time.\n\nProse written as a gift to you, in honor of your 23rd Anniversary on Earth: \n\nThrough the mist, \njust out of reach,\nA figure looms.\n\nMirroring my movement.\nWatching.\nForever attentive.\n\nWho lies within the shadows, \nshimmering, in the mist?\nDo you mock me?\n\nRemove this veil. Come forth,\nand break your silence.\nReveal yourself.\n\n"Oh, it is you.  You are me!\nConcealing your nature.\nWhy do you hide?"\n\n" I am you on the 'morrow.\nThat which you'll become.\nPatiently guiding."\n\n"Fear not. I am always here,\nwith love in my heart.\nReady to help you grow.\n\nSeek me out. In times of \nsorrow and strife.\nI will comfort you.\n\nFor, none knows you better.\nNone could ... \nlove you more.

After what happened at Ipperwash, the OPP are being a little bit more reserved, especially considering all of the media attention Caledonia is getting.\n\nWe need to get back to public order, similar to Oka Quebec. bring in the military to control the situation, then work on a peaceful solution.\n\nRottontothecore: does this mean we should give the entire North America back? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.?!?!

Hope Canada is ready for the spread of population cutting through their wilderness. This use to be the Northern Woods And look at it now.   We should all get how many acres when this happens? I like Canada and we need more land-to please the world. And she is willing to share???? How nice. \n\nI am glad we get these government activity reports-than we all won't be surprised-bless those Minutemen.

 THE FINAL INSPECTION   The Marine stood and faced God, \nWhich must always come to pass.  He hoped his shoes were shining,  Just as brightly as his brass.   "Step forward now, Marine,  How shall I deal with you?  Have you always turned the other cheek?  To My Church have you been true?"    The  Marine squared his shoulders and said,  "No, Lord, I guess I ain't.  Because those of us who carry guns,  Can't always be a saint.    I've had to work most Sundays,  And at times my talk was tough.  And sometimes I've been violent,  Because the world is awfully rough.    But, I never took a penny,  That wasn't mine to keep...  Though I worked a lot of overtime,  When the bills got just too steep.    And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God, forgive me,  I've wept unmanly tears.   I know I don't deserve a place,  Among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears.    If you've a place for me here, Lord,  It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much,  But if you don't, I'll understand.    There was a silence all around the throne,  Where the saints had often trod.  As the Marine waited quietly,  For the judgment of his God.     "Step forward now, you Marine,  You've borne your burdens well.  Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,  You've done your time in Hell."   ~Author Unknown~\n\n**  **  **  **  **  \n It's the Soldier, not the reporter  Who has given us the freedom of the press.  It's the Soldier, not the poet,  Who has given us the freedom of speech.  It's the Soldier, not the politicians  That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,  Who serves beneath the flag,  And whose coffin is draped by the flag\n\nSEMPER FI MARINES -- GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!\n\nHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!\n\nWelcome Home Irongators!!!!

didn't the Canadians start this?  whats good for the goose is good for the gander.  every Friday we should do something more profound.  lets see, the immigrants had a big protest. what if we did that every Friday.  skipped work and protested all day long outside federal and state government offices.  that would make a statement.  but I'm afraid that the consequences would be to great for most people to try.  but how much do you really care about our troops and our country.  one man can't do much, but a nation certainly can.

The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln, America's first Republican president.\n\n\nFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. \n\nNow we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. \n\nBut, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, shall not perish from the earth.

Kids:\n\nI hope you get this. Sorry for the mess, we were busy building things and didn't really pay attention to how much of the natural resources we were using.\n\nI know it's hot, but even though the tropical regions are now uninhabitable, the rising temperatures have made much of the polar regions tolerable. Granted, there's not as much land because of all the glacial melting, but at least it'll keep the oceans replenished for the new fish that are replacing the species that died off.\n\nBefore I forget, the fire in the middle east desert should die down before too long. I guess they weren't expecting one little nuclear weapon to cause that much damage or set the entire oil fields on fire. But, at least you won't have to worry about middle eastern politics, since there is no middle east anymore. \n\nBut, since more of Canada is now inhabitable, you'll still have that oil, and with the warmer temperatures, there won't be as much need for heating fuel.\n\nI know what you're thinking. How could we let it get this bad. I guess we just weren't paying attention. With the terrorist threats and all -- no, they really aren't hiding in the closet or under the bed. We took care of them. Well, a few of them, at least. \n\nI have to go now. The global satellite surveillance will pick this up before long. And since criticizing the government became punishable by death, this will probably be the last transmission I can send. \n\nWe miss you, and tell your siblings in the creche that we're sorry.

B. The passage suggests that much of Canadian thought and viewpoint are influenced by the vast spaces in Canada.\n\nIt's not A since national character is mentioned as a result of the uninhabited land.\n\nIt's not C for the same reason.\n\nIt's not D since that idea is not even mentioned in the passage.
