How Many of Me? [modified]

UEL. Big part of Canadian history, but maybe not so for American history. United Empire Loyalists. These were groups of people who emigrated to Canada from the colonies during and after independance to show their loyalty to the crown. In my partcular case, my ancestor was one Asa Meech for whom Meech Lake is named for. In his case he was expelled from the United States because of his preachings of remaining loyal to the crown many years following independance. :) The first result of a Google.ca search is this link[^]. Nice touch that it mentions family camping since 1784. :laugh:
Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. [Yogi Berra]
Ah! Those old "traitors" ;P ... and, apparently, the reason so many Canadian always imagine themselves to be so morally superior to Americans. As you surely know, the phrase "United Empire Loyalists" is not used in the US. We call them "Tories" (or "traitors," though that's not at all fair).

Actually, we don't need to imagine it. ;P

Fewer than 114 with my last name as well and only 1 or fewer with my first & last name. I would say that's probably me except I don't live in the states.

Ah! It's a delusion which you cannot help having nor escape?
The operative word is need. I neither claim nor care about your perception of an imagined moral superiority. But if the shoe fits, you can wear it. :)

What *is* your problem? ... I have to tell you, from here it looks like intellectual dishonesty. I made reference to a fact[^]; namely that many Canadians imagine themselves to be morally superior to Americans. I didn't state the further fact that for many (most?) this imagined moral superiority resides entirely in the fact that they're not Americans. I *also* didn't say anything about "need"[^] ... that was you[^].

ROTFLMAOAY. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Only four posts till you pulled the "intellectual dishonesty" card. You're showing great restraint. How many more posts till you call me a liar?

You poor thing! You *still* don't want to recognize that you kiddies earn the "intellectual dishonesty" (which is, after all, but a specialized form of lying) sobriquet by your behavior. Just look at this little sub-thread (starting here[^] and accelerating here[^]) ... you're what you are. Apparently, you can't bear the thought of not acting yourself, even for a few posts. edit: I've turned off the "Send me an email ..." switch.
