It would stand to reason that the least government is no government at all :p.

To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic.

Meh.
I'm still a small-town guy at heart, even after living in OKC for the past seven years.
I still have to get away from the city every now and then, if only to escape to a less-concentrated population of stupid people (they're everywhere...)
Of the American cities I've visited, I enjoyed Philadelphia the most, mainly because I'm a history buff AND because Philly's the only big city I've ever been to where I never felt cramped walking on the sidewalk.
Outside the U.S. I've only ever been to Mexico, but Tuxtla Gutierrez in Chiapas blew my mind with the level of cultural density, especially since I'd only been to border towns prior to going.
Plus I stayed with a family that loooves fried chicken!

Only if you beat them in hockey. Gozilla here at TOL just played in a tournament there, eh. Tempers flared and one of his teammates, a Canadian who happens to live here, was called a :squint: "yank".

Most Americans aren't aware that Canadians don't have a great love for them. I'm speaking from personal experience on the subway and in a winners, a certain subset of the population will just shove you out of the way. Although quite a few people did offer me a seat on the subway (We had our 5 month old son with us).
I really think all Americans should go see Toronto. Most of us have absolutely no clue what an amazing city there is a mere 1.5 hour drive from Buffalo, NY (3 hours from Detroit). Get yourselves some poutine!

BIG: Austin, TEXAS. Because its in Texas, and its got tons of fun stuff, historical stuff, my tattoo shop + its the capitol of Texas.
SMALL: Graham, Texas. Because its a little town 15 minutes from my favorite place in the world. Possum Kingdom Lake. Yes, the one from the Toadies song. Been going there since Sept' of 1981, and my folks have been on that lake since the 50's.
Non-American:...... Don't think I can do it.

It's really a shame because we like them.

What is this no hotlinking? Is this something I'll be banned for if CheeseWiz gets his way? I love Animal.

Niagra Falls is somewhat disappointing to me. It's like a mini Las Vegas, which is cool in a way but doesn't mesh well with the falls. Perfectly good natural beauty that people seemed to think shining lights on would make better. Plus you get to pay for every tour to see them.
