Ok I have to chime in on this one, since I live in Ontario and work in Quebec.

Language, for some absurd reason, complicates things. Not just linguistically, but by this artificial notion of its cultural reference. People share the same geography, education, career, lifestyle, food, drink, yet they swear up and down to be culturally distinct. I've been to a lot of places and guess what - people aren't that different despite their unique language.

Things would be a lot easier if we all just spoke the same language. And I don't care which one. Monglian. Swahili. Whatever, pick one. Let's all speak it. Starting tomorrow. It will make life a lot easier.

Like the great Doug Stanhope says, if you happen to be in a dark sidestreet in Eastern Europe, negotiating with a russian prostitute, and your Berlitz guidebook is a little fuzzy on the distinction between 'anal' and doggie style', it's not going to save you from a beating by a Bulgarian pimp.

Happy Birthday Will.
