I walk around with my headphones on anyway, so I don't hear street noise anyway. All the crosswalks here make coocoo and chirp chirp sounds for the blind people. Really annoying.

another reason why i'll never cross the border from canada again. canada is a pretty harsh police state, but not nearly as bad as the usa (or britain, it's 1984 there from now on) I used to go down to Bellingham, WA for cheap goods, but I don't think I'm welcome there anymore. I always feel like I'm in danger when I cross the border, like some crackhead is going to shoot me with a handgun. Plus they'd send me to jail for all the BC Bud I smoke heh ;) Nobody I know could take their car across the border without it getting seized.

There's no reason you can't be both.

My Toshiba Gigabeat was like a Zune but cool and (once I got Rockbox on it) smart. Gameboy games on MP3 players! The screen suffered an unfortunate accident though. At least I have a tiny 20gig hard drive now!

It's ok, if they're religious they'll be reincarnated... no harm, no foul.

"Natives" are immigrants too, just a few thousand years earlier.

This is true, but doesn't really count, it's not a TV series. Dr Who FTW. 3 Tom Baker
