ktsnake, you totally read my mind. I was telling my husband about this last night that sometimes I don't like telling people that I'm American because of the conclusions they'll leap to once they find out. I get tired of having to defend myself, or saying "but I'm not like them!" These days, if someone asks me if I'm Canadian, I'm likely to say yes.
