@blueveinedthrobber,
Now why would I feel smug as you stated we are a dying people LOL.
More powerful in every way then any other nation that had every existed in the history of mankind up to this point that is no reason to feel smug surely?
Add to that a stable and fairly free government and social system and that is surely a reason to feel awful and to have a desire to leave for the tiny nation on our border who can only be a distorting mirror of ourselves.
