Dude, that's fuckin' harsh. What about
the Nobel Prize Winner in Economics this
week?
Anyways, since 1980: Panama, Cuba, Grenada, Serbia, Iraq,
Iran, Lybia, Nicaragua, Chile.

I'll bet you don't really believe in your
statement. The protests against including Mexican questions
would be the same as the ones against Canadian
questions, and I would be happy to lobby for them alongside
you.
Canada, of course, is America's largest trading partner,
and Canada probably has the most easy-going relations
with the US of any country. There's a common language
and people move relatively freely between the two
countries.
Man, I can't even imagine what the
Simpsons writers think of Arkansas...
