The main theme is that people in North America have been led to believe that a version of rugby is football.Some people may try to dismiss this as unimportant but it relates directly to honesty.The international sporting achievements of American athletes are given their well deserved recognition. The question of religion is briefly considered at one point.Good people exist in all religions but differences can create barriers.Thats just pitiful.

About the author (2007)

After graduating in mathematics at the Queens University of Belfast I took an M.Sc. in Statistics from University College London in 1969. Following some employment in Northern Ireland circumstances favoured resuming academic life in Canada and I eventually came to the University of Toronto in 1984.Unfortunately I soon began to feel unwell and after extensive tests a brain tumour was detected.Surgery would be very risky but the tumour would have been fatal anyway so there was no choice. The operation was a success but it resulted in extensive paralysis on the left side. Fortunately my wife is employed by a major Canadian bank so we have still been able to live well in arguably the best part of Toronto. I have recently acquired a power wheelchair which enhances my mobility and employment options.
