Such was the reality of New France in its golden age, but Quebecers don't seem to see it. Maitres chez-nous, indeed!<br /><br />Quebec seems to have a Third World-ish irrational desire for legitimacy ... millions of people who couldn't stand living for Batista, Chiang, Ian Smith, or the Shah would rather starve to death or die in battle for Castro, Mao, Mugabe, or Khomeini.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-8661242822113821722013-09-03T07:18:44.978-07:002013-09-03T07:18:44.978-07:00Quality bootlegs..

For one thing, Quebec separatism is based on the probably false but untested notion that Quebec could govern itself better than it is currently governed, as a province of Canada. Based on the way Quebec governs areas within provincial jurisdiction, I truly hope this notion remains untested.<br /><br />But the desire to separate also comes from a historical sense that Quebec belongs to French Canada, as it did a long time ago before the English conquered it. Quebecors seldom consider that had Quebec remained a French colony it would have had to deal with the French revolution, Napoleonic wars, all the various republics, the Vichy regime, and God knows what else.<br /><br />Also, Quebec remains a majority french-speaking province, although until recently big money and industry was in anglophone hands.<br /><br />So an independent, majority French Quebec is certainly a possibility, its appeal is currently at an all-time low, and even then I dont see the conditions which provide for a separatist movement to be present in the southwest.alfanerdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-79853629971843933192013-09-03T03:52:39.617-07:002013-09-03T03:52:39.617-07:00"except when they are rooting for the mexican..."except when they are rooting for the mexican national team, then their true colors show. :)<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2008444/Only-America-U-S-soccer-team-booed-Mexico--California.html" <br /><br />as long as the american team is not competing against mexico, everything's fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-17068551265120998212013-09-02T23:27:01.787-07:002013-09-02T23:27:01.787-07:00Anonymous wrote:

If the Supreme Court agrees, every state – including California – that banned AA will be forced to reinstate it. <br /><br />California's Hispanic plurality – which ardently favors AA -- will ally itself with other minorities to ram affirmative measure after affirmative action measure through the state legislature. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Jews will not only go to the head of the line for education and employment, they will <i>become</i>, for all practical purposes, <i>the line</i>. (Many California Jewish leaders insist that Jews, being historically “victimized,” should be treated as “oppressed” minorities, not “oppressive” Whites, for affirmative action purposes.) <br /><br /><b>Once that happens, what Hispanic will <i>not</i> want to extoll their Hispanic/Latino identity?</b> Being a Hispanic will be a win-win: They get to take advantage of a neo-apartheid system that allows them to get employment and educational opportunities denied to the dwindling White minority while, with the assistance of gullible liberals, decrying their status as oppressed, Spanish-speaking, people of color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-73383498601987834752013-09-02T20:23:28.113-07:002013-09-02T20:23:28.113-07:00Movies make money from toys, games, bedsheets, dvd...<i>Movies make money from toys, games, bedsheets, dvds, and other merchandizing.
