Yeah it's so bad here in the US. I've had 2 runs ins with the cops in the last 15 years and one of them resulted in a traffic ticket. The other time the officer advised me that one of my tail lights was inoperative and said I should see about replacing it. Fascists!

And entering the US in a bizjet is just ridiculous. Out of the last 100 or so times having to clear customs at an airport of entry, I've been spoken to in a less than welcoming manner by an agent on 2 or 3 occasions. Why can't they smile more?

But I agree, the Canadians are great. Go visit them!

Airline travel is another matter altogether though. Count me in with the whiners and complainers when it comes to dealing with TSA. As President, my first act would be to fire the whole sorry lot and start over. I'm not likely to run for the office though, so expect more of the same from them for the foreseeable future.
