Garbage - #1 Crush

Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 - I have attempted to update but all Adobe updates tell me I have no applications installed that need updating. "This file may contain newer information than this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that you update to the latest version of our products." It opens, but purple dialog boxes appear on each page: "All of the text on this page lacks a language specification. None of the elements or comments on this page are contained in the structure tree." I can read titles, table of contents, headers, and footers, but the manifestos appear as oblong yellow blocks contained in purple frames. Chances are if nobody else complained, it's either my version, or I'm an idiot, or both. I rarely use Acrobat.

Yeah, they show it, if only at a distance...

Garbage - Dumb

Sounds like I have the same version of Dancing Invisible that primetime does - decent, but kinda distant and muted.

How unfortunate that it doesn't work. At least not on this system...

Hybrid - Celebrity Science

I got mine at Chapters about 2 months ago, right off the shelf.

They can bring the assault weapons too, we could use a few.

Nautilus laser, heart of the Thermal High Energy Laser system (THEL) They've got the prototype chemical lasers mounted on the nose of a 747 already...designed primarily for Air Force One. Ground baseing the system would be even easier...the problem is aiming the damn thing. The US has already conducted joint tests of a ground based mobile antimissile laser system with Israel in White Sands. They managed to locate and track the missile, but failed to destroy it - called it a partial success, for some reason. Sounds to me like they want to push this through no matter how well it works.

Ah, the national party with the sole objective of ripping the nation apart. Ever read their little pamphlets outlining their platform? Basically if the Bloc takes majority leadership, they will ignore the entire country outside Quebec for the short time it takes them to separate. And chances are, the rest of us will get the Liberals right back again :\

Heh...you'll have to haul out an old Genie missile...don't suppose you've got a plutonium core lying around anywhere do you?

Indeed. And with the success rates of the missile interceptor tests I've seen so far, coupled with the fact that if they DO hit anything coming over the pole we'll potentially have explosive/chemical/biological/radiological debris raining down on Canadian soil...it'll definately be helping the States alot more than it helps us. We already hosted their nukes in the Cold War...if they want a defence shield, they can intercept over their own airspace as far as I'm concerned. It's time to send a few more 'you can't tell us what to do' denials of cooperation, methinks... PS: Yes, we too had nukes until 1984.

In retrospect, apparently I was looking at the wrong page when I posted that last one. The Crystal Method - Ten Miles Back

During the Cold War, Canada hosted a network of high arctic radar stations known as the DEW line. Distant Early Warning...apparently so the US could get their own nukes in the air before the Russian attack turned them all into crispy critters. In this case, it's interception instead of retaliation they need, but the concept is the same.

Silverblue - Step Back PS: I got a fever...and the only prescription...is MORE COWBELL Yes, excellent song.

On that note, I saw the results of some survey (not that I put too much stock in them) where some large percentage of Americans were offended by Canada Day because they though that we were not proud to be Canadian, but proud to be 'not American'. Kinda...egotistical if true...

Indeed. An upside down flag is something of a universal SOS call, though it has been used as an insult at times. Perhaps even to the point that raising your flag upside down in an emergency would bring angry patriots instead of assistance...
