In Canada we have less guns, and we have less gun-related problems.

I think the direct correlation is at least arguably true.


We also have a lot less fear, which I think is a good and healthy thing
Dr. G,

I think you are right. The USA is, for lack of a better word, different. Our culture is different and our attitudes are different. Our society has evolved differently than other countries.

Yet despite all the perceived problems, we have grown to be the most powerful economic and military force the world has ever seen. Coincidence?

Perhaps the bad things are simply a by-product of some of the greater things this country has been able to do.
