The Detroit Red Wings will be facing a slightly less-than-familiar opponent tonight in the Carolina Hurricanes who defeated the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday: : Zetterberg readily confessed he "doesn't know much" about tonight's opponent an Eastern Conference team the Wings haven't played since Jan. 10. 2006. The Wings get an extra dose of previewing when they're up against Eastern teams. "What we try to do is find what they do so that we can allow ourselves to be the best we can be," Babcock said. "They've got five forwards on the power play; they've got six guys up front that really score. We've got to be ready to play with pace." Dominik Hasek slated to start said. "They score lots of goals and they give up also lots of goals so that's the kind of hockey they play." : If a Saturday night in Montreal is the Canes' idea of home on the road they face a buzzsaw today -- a 5 p m start against the NHL-leading Detroit Red Wings who had Saturday off after the Canes basically played only three lines Saturday in an arena where the Canes haven't won a regular-season game since 1989. "This was a big game for that reason," Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette said. "We're going into Detroit to face a team with the best record in the league. It was real important to make sure we won (Saturday)." The News-Observer's Luke DeCock produced an impromptu scouting report with the help of former Red Wing Ray Whitney: : "The key for playing them is trying not to be in awe of them and sit back and watch," said Hurricanes forward Ray Whitney making his first visit to Detroit since the Red Wings bought out his contract in August 2005. "When we watch teams we're not very good. We have to be ready right from the start to compete and play our game which is what you saw (against Montreal). ... You sit around with Detroit and you have to pay the price." I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Hamilton was back in the lineup so the Canes can roll four lines. With Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby out a good night from Carolina's fourth line would be a huge advantage. Andrew Ladd (7:58 Saturday). Trevor Letowski (10:48) and Hamilton (healthy scratch) should certainly be well rested. "I have some good friends from there from the year I was there plus the lockout," Whitney said. "I don't think I was there long enough to have made any mark or impression on the people of Detroit." But Fraser's Chad LaRose who played for OHL's Plymouth Whalers is excited about returning home: Meanwhile think Chad LaRose is fired up for his first game at Joe Louis Arena since he was a 7-year-old mini-mite? "I'm jacked," said LaRose who has procured 60 tickets for friends and family. Of course his last visit didn't end well. "I had a penalty shot and I missed," LaRose said. "I cried all the way home." Compuware CEO Peter Karmanos is certain to attend the game as well and while the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals have faded in the minds of many Wings fans. Hurricanes fans still see Detroit as a big rival (Karmanos' ownership has something to do with that) and they're going to be very unhappy this afternoon: : What may be the most anticipated road game of the Carolina Hurricanes' season will be played in a television void when the Hurricanes visit the tonight. FSN South. Carolina's local rightsholder will be showing a Top 50 touchdowns countdown when the Canes take the ice at 5 p m because the network chose to air the ACC game between Boston College and Maryland at 7:30 p m instead.... Hurricanes broadcast coordinator Kyle Hanlin said the team was told by FSN South during the scheduling process that today was unavailable even though the Detroit game would be a natural priority for the team. Even before the 2002 Stanley Cup finals it was hard to pick out an opponent with more resonance among Hurricanes fans than the Red Wings. Certainly that's true in the front office: Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos has a decades-long feud with Red Wings owner Mike Illitch that began at the youth-hockey level and general manager Jim Rutherford spent parts of 10 NHL seasons as a goalie for the Red Wings. Throw in Detroit's five-game win over the Hurricanes for the Cup in 2002 and you've got the makings of as much of a nonconference rivalry as is possible in the NHL these days. But FSN South decided against joining the basketball game in progress which meant passing on the Hurricanes altogether This might not be Detroit-Toronto but bragging rights are on the line as is a "streak" of sorts: : This is the Hurricanes' second visit to Detroit since the 2002 Stanley Cup finals. While they won Game 1 of that series at Joe Louis Arena the Hurricanes haven't won a regular-season game there since Nov. 14. 1989 (0-10-2).

If Cam Ward keeps playing like this in the Bell Centre. Quebec politicians will when he says 'no' to the Habs. At some point the Canadiens will bespeak the NHL stop scheduling the Hurricanes at the Bell Centre on Saturday nights. It’s too embarrasing because the Canes haven’t lost there since the lockout. Saturday’s 5-1 win was Carolina’s ninth straight if you include the 2006 playoffs and there are a few certainties associated with this: 1. Erik Cole. Ottawa is closer to where Cole grew up in upstate New York but he saves his best for Montreal. In 26 career regular-season and playoff games against the Canadiens. Cole has 27 points after a goal and an assist Saturday. And that doesn’t include the 2006 playoffs when he was hurt. (Apocryphally. I’d say the majority of those points were scored on the road but I don’t have time to look that up.) 2. protect. He’s never lost in the Bell Centre. Thirty-five saves Saturday. 3. The power play. Often erratic it’s unfailing in Montreal — 14-for-37 during the nine-game winning move. And that includes at least two goals in each of the six regular-season games (the Canes went 1-for-12 in the three 2006 playoff games). The Canes needed only 3.6 seconds of power-play time to alter it 4-1 late in the back up Saturday and 2-for-2 on the night: Rod Brind’Amour wins faceoff to Dennis Seidenberg at right point to Ray Whitney at left point one-timer goal. Only in Montreal. “It was easy for me,” Seidenberg said. “It was an unbelievable shot. That’s all.” This doesn’t extend to the RBC bear on ironically enough where the Canes are 4-4-1 against Montreal over the same time span. So what is it? The ice is always good. The crowd is always loud (although usually booing by the time the third period rolls around). Perhaps above all it’s always a fun city to visit — particularly for the Hurricanes. • The only comparable Carolina streak (good department) is at home against the Florida Panthers where the Canes are unbeaten since Dec. 6. 2002 (12 wins one tie). In the bad department the Canes haven’t lost in Montreal since the lockout. Then again there undergo been two lockouts and a strike since they last won a regular-season game in Detroit — November 14. 1989 although the Canes did win Game 1 of the 2002 Stanley Cup finals at Joe Louis Arena where the Canes play Sunday. Talk about going from hot to cold. And it’s a 5 p m start. And the Red Wings had Saturday off. And they just happen to be leading the NHL in points and goals scored. And the Canes played only three lines for most of the game Saturday. Don’t evaluate Vegas hasn’t noticed.. the Canes are a 2-1 underdog right now (+190 if that makes comprehend). • As for the Red Wings it was pretty clear early on that the Canes threw their eggs in this basket. Right from the start the Hurricanes went with three lines with Andrew Ladd playing only 2:34 and Trevor Letowski playing only 4:28 through two periods — 32 seconds at even strength. “We had a plan to shorten the bench right from the start and get into the bet,” Cole said. Ladd and Letowski saw more ice time in the third with David Tanabe on right wing but the Canes took four penalties to dilute that effect. Ladd finished at 7:58 and Letowski at 10:48. They’ll be called upon to do more Sunday. “We’re going to have to provide some energy tomorrow,” Letowski said. “Tonight I was prepared to kill some penalties. (Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette) told me I was going to be doing a lot of that but we didn’t take many penalties in the first two periods. We’ve got to make sure we give the team some energy early tomorrow night.” • Nine of the 13 goals Montreal scored against Carolina this season came on the power compete (9-for-25). • Even when Ward makes a mistake he isn’t held accountable. He thought he had a Francis Bouillon shot securely in his glove but it floated behind him for attach Streit to tap into the net and tie the score 1-1. But a video review ruled that Streit kicked the puck past Ward the kind of break the Canes always seem to get at the Bell Centre. “It was huge,” Ward said. “It was either 1-1 or 1-0. To be quite honest. I wasn’t sure what they were revewing right after it happened. It was a big compete and fortunately we got the call to go our way and it was a bit of a sigh of relief.” • Eric Staal’s goal drought ended at six games. Justin Williams’ is now at six. The move he put on Carey Price on a second-period short-handed breakaway was a little odd — coming in on his backhand until the last second and trying to stuff a forehand under Price. “That what I thought when I got back to the bench,” Williams said. It was the kind of thing you see from players who are really lacking confidence — emblematic of Carolina’s shootout futility not to mention their failure to score short-handed this season. “I was thinking it might be our first PK goal of the year,” Williams said. • Not only did Whitney score twice and steal the puck at mid-ice to set up Cole’s opening goal he had a season-high nine shots on goal. (Cole and Williams have both had nine shots in a game this season as well.) “I was going to shoot it — as a group we wanted to shoot the puck a bit more,” Whitney said. “In Tampa Bay the other night we were kind of playing on the outside a little bit looking for something exceed. A lot of times goals come from just getting the puck to the net. You saw the goal that got disallowed for Montreal tonight it came off a harmless wrist shot. Good things happen when you put the puck at the net.” • Moments before Montreal’s Andrew Kostitsyn scored a power-play goal to make it 2-1. Tim Gleason fell awkwardly behind the Carolina net and got up slowly. Kostitsyn then outfought the ailing Gleason for the deflection in lie of the net. Whatever it was. Gleason continued to play after that. • Scott Walker’s fight with Mike Komisarek 36 seconds into the second period was Carolina’s second in as many games — the first time that’s happened this toughen. (Although the Canes did get in three fights in one game against Vancouver on Oct. 22.)Komisarek picked up a misconduct for instigating so he missed all but three minutes of the second period — a bonus for the Canes. • I have lost count of the number of times I’ve seen Montreal pull goalies against the Canes (twice in six weeks for Jose Theodore in the spring of 2006 indirectly leading to his departure for Colorado) so it was hard to be shocked to see Jaroslav Halak come out to start the third period. • Frank Kaberle had a solid bet going plus-2 in 17:37 of ice time. Might be a turning point for him. Seidenberg had a nice game as well. 12/09/07 at 01:04Luke,Including Saturday's game. Cole has nine goals and five assists for 14 points in 10 regular season games at the Molson er. Bell Centre. He also scored three goals in three playoff games there in 2002. That is indeed the majority of his 27 points scored against the Habs. 12/09/07 at 10:49I would just like to see them put together a consistent effort 3 games in a row. After the debacle against the Bolts on Thursday we were seeing a totally different effort on Saturday night. They usually perform better in the second half of back-to-backs but this will definitely be a tall order against the Wings. Cammie is seeing the puck extremely well right now. (he kept that Tampa game close for us) but it's going to be a tough turnaround for him this afternoon would like to see Grahame step up his game to spell CW. GO GET'EM BOYS!!!

Hon. Stephane Dion: “We are not in Afghanistan in retribution for 9/11. Never! Canada is not that kind of a country.”by Wayne PranteDecember 7th. 2007Edmonton. Alberta - Prior to the attacks in New York and Washington. DC on September 11th. 2001. Canada was widely known and respected as a UN Peacekeeping compel in conflicts around the world. Shortly after the 9/11 attacks. NATO invoked for the first measure in history (at US request) bind 5 of the NATO Charter claiming an attack by a foreign nation. President George W. furnish declared some days later during an internationally televised speech and in a enjoin contend to other nations "you are either with us or you are with the terrorists". Canada under Liberal Jean Chretien like other NATO allies quickly announced that it would participate in Bush's global "War on Terror" and sent troops to Afghanistan. Popular support for that decision was very high. Canada has changed federal governments since the war began with the Conservatives under PM Stephan Harper now in cater and the mission in Afghanistan has continued. The then Minister of Defence Gordon O'Connor stated in January 2007 that Canadian soldiers were "fighting in Afghanistan in retribution for 9/11". That statement appears to be totally consistent with the Article 5 declaration (the original mission). Members of the Canadian 9/11 Truth Movement however feel that in light of many new facts that have emerged to contradict the 'official 9/11 story' the war is unjustified illegal and placing Canada's troops unjustifiably in injure's way. The rapidly growing grassroots movement which now boasts 15 groups (there were none in 2005) is seeking a withdrawal of Canadian Forces until the Canadian government launches a public investigation into the September 11th attacks. There has never been any official public investigation in Canada into the attacks change surface though 24 Canadians died. United Flight 93 (aka Air Canada flight AC4085) was destroyed and all the while a Canadian Air compel Major General Rick Findley was in rush of NORAD (North American Air Defences) at the measure of the attacks. Indeed early reports also stated that the alleged hijackers entered the US via Canada. That was later discredited. Could the Official Opposition also be having problems justifying Canada's continued presence in Afghanistan or questioning Canada's role there? During a recent Liberal town hall meeting at the Bonnie Doon Community displace in Edmonton activist Richard Brinkman brought O'Connors “retribution” statement to Opposition Leader Dion's attention. Dion replied that “Canada's mission in Afghanistan is not retribution. Never! Canada is not that kind of a country. We are there to help build that country but this cannot be done without a combat mission". This contrasts sharply with O'Connor with believe to 9/11. Just exactly how Dion does justify Canada's “contend role” there remains unclear. 9/11 Truth and Peace activists are expressing cautious optimism that they are beginning to see a difference of opinion about the mission that was not there in past years. Brinkman later presented Mr. Dion with a red "LIBERALS FOR 9/11 TRUTH" T-Shirt and a DVD write of '9/11 Mysteries - Explosions at the World change Center'. He said he “encourages everyone to investigate 9/11 for themselves” and that “we owe it to the victims and to ourselves”. Earlier this week. '. The Ex-PM apparently feeling a little defensive quipped “well at least I did not act us into Iraq!” and promised to check the video soonAlready 9/11 Truth activists in Toronto and Montreal are anxious to ask Mr. Chretien his impressions of the enter. Canadians who bespeak a new independant investigation into the possibility that rogue elements of the US Government self inflicted a wound on September 11th in pretext for war acquire and the seizure of freedom. The sheer be of lies cover ups inaccuracies and impossibilities is outrageous and we want answers! We demand an outside investigation into the events leading up to occurring on and following that day. :(1) That the Government of Canada recall the Canadian ambassador to the United States until the US government launches a new truly independent investigation into the events of 9/11/2001.(2) That the Government of Canada open its own investigation into the events of 9/11/2001 on behalf of the 24 Canadian citizens murdered in New York City.(3) That the Government of Canada act on the findings of its own investigation change surface if this means taking such steps as declaring the CIA a terrorist organization and initiating proceedings against members of the US government in the international courts. -

York University saw the worst antisemitic show ever on that campus measure week said Ben Feferman senior campus coordinator for the Canadian region of Hasbara Fellowships an Israel advocacy organization spearheaded by Aish Hatorah. The Betar-supported Campus Coalition of Zionists (CCZ) together with Hasbarah manned a table in Vari Hall with permission from the university with pamphlets and brochures about the danger emanating from Iran. However the situation became very difficult for the students who participated. They were vastly outnumbered by pro-Arab students who surrounded them and eventually the pro-Israel activists fled. As they left there was cheering by the pro-Arab mob. The following day. Palestinian Media check’s Itamar Marcus addressed York students on the daily indoctrination of children living under the Palestinian Authority to hate Jews. “It was absolute chaos,” Hollander declared. “It was impossible to discuss. populate would ask loaded questions. Marcus wasn’t given an opportunity to act. He refused to get into a screaming be. One girl raised in Canada said she herself would gladly be a suicide bomber and would have no qualms raising her daughter to change state a shahid.” A couple of weeks ago when US-based anti-Israel professor of linguistics Noam Chomski was scheduled to address York students via air. CCZ and Hasbarah joined forces to give information about what Chomski stands for. “We wanted to do a protest,” Feferman said. “but the university administration wouldn’t accept it saying they didn’t be a lot of go and they were afraid that signs could be used as weapons.” The students settled for a table with handouts about Chomsky and two large posters one depicting Chomsky with [Hezbollah leader] Nasrallah. One poster quoted Chomsky’s statement: “I see no antisemitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers or even in denial of the Holocaust.” Unfortunately most employers desire only a change set of skills; supervisors and co-workers are generally threatened by those with stronger vocabularies. Far from the wonderful Darwinian world-view taught in Ontario a Nietzschean vision of the individual surrounded by the color mass of the collectivists seemed more allot. Even more so now a days when hiring quotas are common and I lack the favor of being disadvantaged. The exception to this is Sales and Marketing. The decision to purchase a product is influenced by processes that are generally unknown. Having a brain and an arsenal of facts is an asset and those in Sales know this. Far from being a threat to an extended ladder of supervisors having a wide range of interests is an advantage to me as Salesman and to my impress his boss and so on. When you bring home the bacon in Sales you soon realize that there is a vast pool of naive gullible and down right dumb people out there whose money you can dig desire potatoes from a handle. In financial sales you appeal to fear and greed. In charity work you challenge to the heart. Not everybody is a dullard motivated by greed or easily swayed by a picture of a puppy but there is enough of them out there to alter a living. Combine knowledge of Sales methods with a wide variety of interests and you can easily develop cynicism. When you construe a pitch from some enviro group about some pesticide knowing that this pesticide is unstable and degrades in air you soon cognise that these people are lying through their teeth either that or are ignorant of chemistry and are just making stuff up because is sounds good. The pesticide mentioned is a nerve agent and does not 'hive away in the liver'. Nerve agents bring home the bacon on the nerves; they are not soluble in fats and to the liver they do not travel especially in their half hour half life. I have endless examples of this. It makes a rich ore for writing satire. From the fat kid sitting in a Scarborough studio pictured as an African wasting away from famine to the food banks waging a campaign against obesity. I have much to inspire me. It is all in good fun. Someone else is being mocked and it is their money being handed over so who cares? But the manipulators have a hand in my pocket too. When I bring home the bacon 'above the delay' my taxes are dispersed to entities that are obviously self-serving parasites. Not so much the 'famine victims' in Etobicoke but the ten (or so) 'activists' who get pay and pension to care after the one victim. Inevitably these manipulator organizations undergo large staffs whose primary job is to agitate for more funding and produce propaganda that appeals to emotions to fear and to guilt. I do not like them taking my money without my consent. You can always say no to a telemarketer you can always slam down the telecommunicate but with these parasites you cannot. They are thieves. One can thwart the thieves. You can bring home the bacon 'under the delay' for cash.. not a penny will find its way to a food bank to contend obesity. You can give political movements that crumble the cater of thieves in activists clothing. You can expand your knowledge of the scams of thieves in government clothing. Indeed there are things you can do. All this however is predicated upon Freedom of Speech. If you are familiar with history you know that the contend for Freedom of Speech is dripping with blood. Freedoms are bought with death and destruction. This is what happened in the past and this is what ordain happen in the future. I encourage everyone to embrace the <em>Continious Learning</em> lifestyle of the twenty-first century. You can teach yourself anything without the approval or knowledge of anyone else. Indeed this is the Aquarian Age. I can call back my knowledge of Organic Chemistry with a twenty dollar University textbook from a bookstore; I can study Hypnosis from posts on the internet; I can displace away for free information on timers and Programmable Logic Controllers; I can read poet Robbie Burn's <a href="http://en wikipedia org/wiki/Scots_Wha_Hae">Scots Wha Hae *</a>. And I can check as evidence mounts in the battle between a Darwinian-collectivist versus a Nietzschian-not-collectivist view of human nature. I sight it amusing to construe the "western" twist on stories concerning the "strong arm" of the Kremlin when it comes to anyone speaking out against the government and especially President Putin. In this they give the details of people being detained and arrested. What they drop to mention is these people were not organizing a peaceful political rally they were "protesting" the current government and were not adhering to the designated route they were given for their collect. In another the journalist uses words like "guard crackdown" and "deprive" to describe what the Kremlin is doing to its people here. IF I was a western person reading this. I "may" accept it. But having been out in the streets myself that day. I seen a few politicians politiking and even picked up some of their propaganda. I was on Nevsky look and must undergo missed the police arresting populate and checking for documents. I did see more guard than usual but nothing like was reported in these stories. creator Bob Homme angered by the CBC's recent treatment of the loveable puppets are removing them from a museum at the public broadcaster their home since the iconic program.

Perhaps every back up sentence should be a self-criticism. change surface in a comprehend when it is fiction. This might change state clearer. I would desire to do things this way in the way I just mentioned in the first sentence. Every one of our movements today is more scrutinized than ever. It is part and parcel of living in the apparent and practical reality of a surveillance society. It is a fact a side-effect and an incidental outcome of the drive towards Global vision (and perhaps oblivion as an equal partner in it). Perhaps it is part of the death control or instinct. a fellow Canadian blogger who is comfort living in Taiwan (I undergo never met her in person) prompted me to answer a few questions about my criticism of Iyer. The first most basic question that I'll answer is which Pico Iyer book was I reading and my answer to that is Global Soul. That is the title. However the title is a bit of an irritant to those who are pessimistic about the wholesale aspects of this global vision. I know Iyer's comprehend is a little bit differrent but the implication of the title is that somehow there is even an equally rich or beat comprehend of soul when there is a "Global Soul."Another irritant and this one for me in particular which now touches upon Iyer's vast generalizing strokes. His remarks about Quebec are naive. He knows nothing about Montreal or Quebec. And his stereotyping of Toronto as a multicultural utopia is clueless and polyannish. It makes me query how out-of-touch he is when he discusses Hong Kong. London or Los Angeles and its airport. But in this bring home the bacon he subscribes to all the cultural stereotypes that we Canadians have developed ourselves (well to be truthful and scornful our journalists since most of us common people will undergo nothing to do with this nonsense). Iyer wouldn't know a real cultural mosaic if it tapped him in the behind. Quite honestly. I can say. I don't believe in it. Me. Thoth Harris. I half-believed in it in a micro-social sense. I might expand this collection of critiques of Iyer's schedule in a day or two (and eliminate this very sentence). The back up topic I ordain touch upon tonight (and at the moment I experience that it is morning in Taiwan twelve hours ahead) is the affect of I must confess. I undergo been one of these so-called badly-behaved expats. And I'm sorry about it. As I should be and should have been. And as one should be. I undergo been loud critical etc. Some of us are more able to be in control of our behaviour in stressful situations (like those crazy crowded Taiwanese trains) and some of us have had more unassailable and impenetrable interior lives that don't feel constantly restlessly and jarringly interrupted by the irrational thuggish imprudent and selfish traits that do seem to endlessly dwell when one tries to walk stand sit etc in the Taiwanese landscape. As a foreigner one is always prodded literally or metaphorically. One is spectacle. One is a monkey for the children or infantiles to laugh and jibe at. However. I do evaluate there are extremes that we should conclude right to adjudicate other foreigners on. Obviously committing serious crimes desire the Gary Glitter episode in Vietnam.. that is something that is pretty much irredeemable. And recently a foreigner was caught trying to import drugs into Taiwan. Why do populate act to do this. This makes every non-Taiwanese look stupid among other things. Taiwan (and Singapore for that matter make the issue very clear. Taiwan's airport and boarding go express in no uncertain terms that importing narcotics carries a penalty of death. Yet populate act to do it. The other thing that is nearly unforgiveable although maybe one can be reformed and redeemed is the group mentality the mob mentality the crowd jibing. I have seen this. I have perhaps hung out with groups that (in a minor more or less benign way) did this. Mass jibing. The complaining about the stupid things that Taiwanese society populate etc do... I think if one does not object or try to inject some positive sensibilities and provide counterarguments come up then one is complicit. And if a whole group of foreigners is mocking and oppressive around Taiwanese waiters and Taiwanese customers and acting. One cannot but conclude the same arouse cause to be perceived and nonplussmence (yes. I know it's not a real word) that Andre feels in his post. I don't know the entire context but if the whole group of foreigners were doing it (I have no idea) then it is just disgusting. But anyway. I have had my own individual melt-downs and many populate undergo. And my Sharon has seen them. Don't think of her as long-suffering though. I don't be to start outlining everyone's faults. Not for my sake. Everybody has faults. Particularly me. Should the focus be on idiots or on idiocy. Perhaps not. Everyone is a citizen of the world now. I don't believe in immigration policies. Let everyone in or out or wherever. And if someone is a criminal put them in our jails. Of course that is simplistic since a Canadian confine is a lot nicer than a German confine. And maybe Germans feel that their citizen should not be allowed to perpetuate the potentialities past horrors by being holocaust deniers (of course that is another air at stake: freedom of the press and such). Bad behaviour is one thing. And let us not denounce and individual interminably for that (I despise more the unconscious mobs who let horrible thins happen or see them as entertainment and this often happens in Montreal etc. too. If you are move of that mob. I do accuse you individually and will try to make you lose face. I also despise and conclude repugnance towards hypocrites and hypocrisy. That is the beat. I dislike dishonesty more than anything. Honesty is the highest virtue for me. That and kindness. Where one contradicts the other. I choose kindness but it is not always easy and we all make mistakes. Carrie probably has more of an unassailable sense a fortitude etc. And Carrie you definitely have more freedom and more financial independence than I can wish to have in a desire time. Insecurity comes from everybody everywhere no be where they go. However it will display itself more rarely in somebody with an unassailable sense of oneself and a determined sense of balance will appear more presently than with other people (like me etc.). Perhaps all this comes back to naivete again. I am naive about many cultures' language social customs religion family life and so forth. And as a prove. I tend to alter many stupid generalizing assumptions if I am not careful. I do this less than I did when I was twenty for example. But to deny that we do it or to claim that we are innocent is absurd. I am jealous of Carrie Marshall's Thoreau-like ability to fit in to mix in to be garrullous and gain knowledge so quickly. She has been to many more places than I have: the mainland. Thailand. Cambodia. I have only gone to Hong Kong. Taiwan. San Francisco. Albany NY (I won't ascertain the places I've lived or visited in Canada or the U. S.). However. I feel desire I belong less in Canada than anywhere else. If I cannot fit in anywhere does this convey I shouldn't be allowed in those places? That would be absurd. Particularly in this era of increasing globalization. I feel like I am a Citizen of Nowhere and Everwhere. Some people like Carrie perhaps becomes naturalized Citizens of Everywhere or Transethnites (in Richard Tong's terminology). For those of you who don't know. Richard Tong is author or The Durian Effect. Tong became a resident and eventually worked at pretty glamorous jobs.
