Kate asked: > murray, making a statement about the US and canada, said something in regard > to the "elephant rolling over onto the mouse." does anyone know what the > exact quote was? Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant; no matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I may call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. Even a friendly nuzzling can sometimes lead to frightening consequences. -- Pierre Elliot Trudeau speaking to the Press Club in Washington, D.C. (March 25, 1969) This was how I found the quote but I remember one of my history textbooks quoting it as "For Canada, being next to the USA is like being a mouse sleeping next to an elephant. The elephant may mean no harm when he rolls over in his sleep." Not having been there I don't know whether Murray was paraphrasing or not but that's the original and I've always loved it.

I couldn't agree with you more, Angie. I've been one of the lucky few to be in a good relationship the last couple of V-Days, and my husband doesn't quite understand my lack of enthusiasm for the holiday. I'm sure it comes from all those years past when I was alone and it really did suck - one doesn't just get over that mindset quickly. To me it's just a big reminder of all the sorrow and loneliness in the world, no matter what my current situation might be. I think the marketing angle is all wrong, too. Even if you *are* in love with someone, how appropriate are all those cutesy little pink hearts and cherubs and doilies? They seem to represent childhood (when you *had* to give a card to everyone in your class, whether you liked them or not) more than having any relevance to a couple's personal symbols of their feelings for each other. Why is there not more of a tradition of giving handmade cards and gifts?[1] If there were *any* time to do so, this would be it. For me the significance of Feb. 14 is that it's my nephew's birthday. I'm told I'm supposed to send cards to people on that day, so I'll send out a few (handmade) ones to friends and relatives I care about. As for showing my love for my spouse, well, I'd *better* be doing that more than once a year! I say bring back Lupercalia. Then we'd all have a better chance at having a good time. Hmmm, come to think of it, many of us already have our own big event planned for close to that time of year, now don't we?
