(Actually I've also heard it that the rest of the country denies this and insists that Californians are the crazy ones and give America as a whole that reputation. Could be true. )

And besides, the French are even crazier than we are.

If you don't understand why already, it cannot be explained.

Hmm. Not sure where to put the Quebecois on the scale of lunacy.

Why, it suggests that the Quebecois are a pure distillation of French madness, in that those French folk who were too mad even to abide in France were the ones who took ship for the New World. And that very madness is the secret of how Quebec retained its language and culture even after being conquered by the English in the Seven Years' War.

Insanity is severely underrated, methinks.

Insane, maybe but the French were 95% of the popolation so it is kind of dumb to change language to please 5%. Espesically when that 5% is your enemy.

The best goalies in the world come from Quebec. They can't be completely mad!
