Benjamin, *Status* may have been a term that did not describe exactly what I meant. Without going into details, the US does not have a parlimentary type of government, and we do not have a connection with the English monarchy as Canada still had (as of 1999) however much a formality it is. We do share a common historical base and border, however, which will always tie us together. Sincerely, *seattle* Audrey
