You're a better man than I, if loyalty is all that makes us good. I
couldn't take it any more.
I must say that I'm now happier, healthier, and less brooding and
depressed than I was when I lived below the 49th. Not that we don't
have our problems here, but the biggest one seems to be Fascism
creeping north.

I'll leave you with this. The definition was changed in later
editions after American Heritage got bought out by a huge multi-
national book company. Thus creeping Fascism affects even the
official definitions of our words. George Orwell is laughing from his
grave.

dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of
state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism.
-- American Heritage Dictionary, 1983 (reference to "business" was
removed in later editions)
