I don't see any reason to be jealous. Enlighten me.

It was a generalized statement about the world and how everybody wants to be 'like Mike'.
Billions of people copy or model something or themselves (singular or plural entities ? that would be a person or company) after the US, all because of its 'success'.
Placing something on a pedestal and scrutinizing it so to duplicate it merely for profit is no different from idolizing, as far as I am concerned.
Something more simple: every Canadian cold-weather enthusiast knows and hears everyday is another Canadian bitching about the heat, and rarely do they say "I moving to BC", but rather California, Florida and some oven like that.
In addition, I tried to make it not tooooo apparent, but I was trying to get rid of that stigma (save face ? quick topic change) that ?Canada hates the US? ? only dumb ass doll-stomping-liberal politicians do.
