I can appreciate the political strife going on since we have it here in the US.

That's why I consider politics a necessary evil in a democracy. :)<br /><br />I believe I've been to your part of the woods. As a child we went to Murray Bay, Canada and I remember the people speaking French. We had a wonderful time. My Dad's company had a convention there.<br /><br />I heard all about the three sisters. I kind of feel bad for the third one, but I think congratulations should go to all of them. I'm sure they supported and encouraged each other, so they all earn our congratulations.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-69347558112407211842014-02-09T11:35:48.870-08:002014-02-09T11:35:48.870-08:00If The US doesn't win, I hope that Canada was....If The US doesn't win, I hope that Canada was.

I am happy that if an American couldn't win the gold and silver, the Canadians did! We nortamericanos have to stick together :) The ice dancing competition is going to be magnificent. The top Canadian and American pairs have been battling each other for years, and it's always a toss up which pair will come out on top. The political situation in Quebec, it breaks my heart. I think it broke Don's heart too, and that may have contributed to his untimely death. He was so upset by what was going on. In the end I think it just disheartened him. Such a long, bitter history, and in today's world, hatred, intolerance and bigotry is on the rise, at a time when we need each other more than ever and the world has grown so interdependent. I just don't get it. If we cannot be united as a world of people, we will stand no chance of surviving as a world. Bon chance to the nortamericanos.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-56696768266067752152014-02-09T08:32:50.810-08:002014-02-09T08:32:50.810-08:00Beautiful and very talented girls.

I learned a long, long time ago to stop listening to the news, politics, etc. If the news comes on TV, I turn the channel (kind of like Honey Boo Boo). I realized when I watched it, I got scared, depressed, sad, etc, and there really is nothing I can do about any of it. Right or wrong in ignoring it all, it makes me get through the day a little easier. Ignorance IS bliss, I guess.
