> last I looked America was a continent and not a country.. Nope, it says right here in our constitution that we get all rights to the name - there's a little (tm) symbol right after it, the first recorded use in our history, in fact. We licensed it from Amerigo Vespucci's estate for $500 in silver and a plate of pasta (al dente') with clam sauce. Nyah nyah nyah. The Canadians are just sore because they didn't file for it first. It's also a little-known fact that the first ever trademark dispute was, in fact, with Mexico, who refused to acknowledge our trademark and was putting up big signs on the border saying "Welcome to the *real* America!". We subsequently won the suit, along with New Mexico, Texas and most of California. Jordan
