King, I would happily challenge this point. The draft dodgers, who hid from their responsibilties by coming to Canada, brought with them a social and cultural viewpoint (admittedly not the only source) that I think has been incredibly damaging to our country and our society.

In a nutshell, a rejection of that which made Canada great and a long term diminution of our country.

Remember all those historical moments you are so proud to tout...our soldiers behaviors and accomplishments in two world wars? Those draft dodgers you also laud have, with others of like mind, systemically destroyed what those men fought for.

King, you can't have it both ways.

Remember that when you bow your head in silent remembrance today at 11:11 am. Who really do you champion?

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
