I want to live during that time and in that place because it is basically the political and concrete expression of The Enlightenment. |

| I don't think it's trite to mention maple syrup. Every year during the harvest (which happens in late winter) my family goes out to a maple farm for a big breakfast of pancakes, sausages, and real maple syrup. You sit at long tables in a big warm barn with a hundred other people and everybody eats and talks, and usually there's a snowball fight after. That's just the kind of thing that means home to me. |

It's great that it means home to you, but I'm Canadian too, and I don't think I've ever had the stuff. |
