Things were OK when I moved my family to Canada in 1970. When we moved back in 1980, young women had acquired a filthy mouth they seemed proud of.

A lot of young Americans left for Canada in 1970 to avoid what they disliked about America - mainly the Vietnam War and the draft. Yes, and many of them returned in 1980 - after the war - only to find that there were still things they disliked about America. If thing were better up north, why return with complaints? Many stayed in Canada, in Sweden, and in Britain.

             Yes, they did.  I, on the other hand, served honorably
              in the US Navy from 1961 to 1965.  I went to Canada
              to operate the Canadian subsidiary of an American country.
              I didn't leave to avoid anything.

              If you are insinuating I was a draft dodger, please
              stuff it.  As for the rest, if my criticizing the coarsening
              of feminity during the 70s bothers you, well, you
              can stuff that, too.  Thank you.
