Everyone who reads your posts knows a few things about you. Unless of course you approach your writings here on PC as works of fiction and not really your own views and opinions.

One thing about you that becomes increadingly obvious is that you're not very good at responding to inquiries about some of what yo say. I mean really, I ask you to share with us what you see the president doing to divide the nation and set race relations back and all you can come up with "you don't know anything about me."?

you're so mysterious.

Or Canadian by admitted ancestry.

Normally, such folk are lot more intelligent and cordial although I'll take a Pabst over a Molson, any day.

Both are pretty close to swill and interchangeable IMHO. OTOH, such beers go for $40/case in Ontario. For $40/case, you can buy some mighty fine beer here in the US.

Sometimes, quantity over quality.

When going quality, I am a big fan of Stone Brewing's Ruination IPA.

To this point, sir, I had you pegged as discerning and intelligent. Your taste in IPA, however, leaves much to be desired. Best widely distributed IPA in the land is Dogfish Head. 60 minute rocks, 90 minute is for sipping over good conversation and pleasant music, 120 minute if it's been a horrible f*ckin day and you need to lose yourself for awhile.

So sayeth a devoted Dogfish Head IPA devotee.

You are aware that all beer in Ontario is only sold through government stores, there is a goodly chunk of tax in that $40.

And from what I understand, it pays a significant portion of their national health care system (or so says my cousin in Kingston, ON). Seems like a decent trade-off to me, particularly since I drink so little beer anymore (though I bet the Canadians also have high prices on my preferred libation, single malt Scotch.)
