Yep. Take a trip to vancouver, BC or to just anywhere in BC period. Completely different world man. If i did the mary jane, it'd of been heaven. But that point aside - it's just not as uptight/high strung up there as it is here. Crime rate is lower with less violent crimes. They're very accepting of different types of lifestyles and peoples. It might be because BC is west coast type environment also, but from what i've seen california isn't quite that way, seattle's pretty close tho.
I think, the major problem with a lot of american's, is that they forget that they(we) aren't the only ones out there. We have a huge ass world we're sharing with everyone else, but unfortunately we can't even see past our own noses on things that are really, really simple to deal with. graemlins/nonono.gif
