euphoric over rapeseed oil.

Is there a difference between the rapeseed oil he's using and the
canola oil I buy in my supermarket? Is this high-test European variety
sold in the US? I haven't noticed it where I shop.

As I recall it Canola is merely rapeseed oil. IIRC Canola stands for
Canadian Oil, Low Acid.

I believe you are correct. In 1997 we did an RV caravan trip to Alaska.
While we were still in BC we visited a canola farm and they told us what
you said. *They added that they changed the name because "rapeseed"
didn't sound very commercial.

Rape is a pretty loaded word. I had to get in front of the TV, then
stop it when a movie we were watching had a rape scene (The Girl With
the Dragon Tattoo), because that was something we didn't want our son
to see, and he had come into the room. That movie was a bit too much
for an "R" rating. The woman who got raped got her revenge though
(also a bit too much for an "R" rating). Good movie, but pretty
disturbing.

How come graphic violence combined with non-graphic sexual violence
gets a, "R," but graphic affectionate sex gets an X? It's because
folks in America are ****ed up, and stupid. The sight of genitalia
offends more than seeing a person get raped. The folks on the MPAA
committees deserved to get violently raped.
