As the self appointed 'old fart Canadian' I would just like to add a few historical facts to this piece.

Gordon Sinclair was a Canadian Radio personality on CFRB in Toronto. His show 'Lets Get Personal' was syndicated across English speaking Canada.

Gordon was a kind of Canadian Andy Rooney. A bit of curmudgeon but his knowlege of history was impeccable and though you might not always agree with him you always listened.

My mother worked with him in the 1970's and I called her for some perspective on what took place the night it presented this piece.

She recalled how the piece was picked up by a Buffalo radio station and just snowballed from there. So many requests for copies of piece came in that they had to hire an outside printer. Finally a few weeks latter the piece was brought to the floor of the US Congress and read into the Congressional record.

Although I think the Subject of this node is unfortunate lacking ... shall we say ... a certain maturity. It is nice to see Mr. Sinclair's thoughts resurface at a time when the US and its citizens need and deserve all the morale boosting they can get.
