Why settle for lies?  Is this what our country is about?

Last Christmas I picked up an autobiography of Geronimo. It was most
fascinating and I learned a lot. To many of us got our Old West history  from
Saturday afternoon Westerns in the '50's. By the way, do any of you know the
singificance of the red oak leaf on the Canadian flag(Yvonne, you may have to
set me straight here). I was told
it was because in the War of 1812, we invaded Canada and it was in the Fall.
The "Red Coats" blended in with the leaves and it formed a natural
camoflouge. Thus, the Red Oak leaf is somewhat anti-Yankee sentiment.
