It what's not good is another hurricane is heading to New Orleans (maybe), or us here in florida.
I don't see Canada fighting any wars.

(this is the point where I walk away)
Hope Ike doesn't hit you guys in Florida. I'm just saying that in Canada if we have a natural disaster (usually in the form of a snow storm) our government will move into the cities hit badly, provide shelter and in some cases money to those affected and we don't leave those cities till they are completely rebuilt.
And in case you haven't noticed, Canada is fighting in Afghanistan, in Kandahar and we are sufferring more deaths than almost every other country fighting in Afghanistan (including the US).
But, we digress, this isn't the place to be posting all my political idealisms, I'll do that on a political forum (if I'm ever so bored as to go view one).
Back to the point of this thread (whether to take a magic class), I would say to talk to the teacher and learn what the caliber of the other magicians in the class is.
