A friend recently wrote me: "Remember the realization back in the early 70's that the whole country was insane? Could it be true, could a whole country go insane?"

Way back when, in the dim distant past, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and pterodactyls swooped through the skies -- You know -- the 70's -- my friend and I were trying to get a sense of "What's Going On."

Here we are, millions of years later, still trying to map out a strange land. The only difference now is he still lives in that strange land, and my family escaped across the border into Beautiful British Columbia. In fact, last week -- August 22 -- marked our Third Anniversary in Canada.

I've written quite a bit about Our Canadian Life so I won't bore y'all with too many more tales of how much better it is up here compared to the good ol' USA. To Sum Up: this is the month we can apply for Permanent Residency and the only way you could get us out of here is with a pry bar and blasting caps. If, for some bizarre reason, we were forced to go live once again back in the states, there 's a very good chance I would die of the dry heaves.

You can't help but gain a little more objectivity about a country's Current Events when you 're outside looking in. And after three years of looking at What The Hell Is Happening in the U.S. from across the border -- I'm looking at CrazyLand.

With fast communication. You can imagine how the entire world could get sucked into an insane attractor.
