    Did someone say Vodka?! I had a pretty thorough response written but it got lost. Basically we already have a mild two tier system, that's why we pay for things like dental and eye care separately. Those who can't afford it get basic services provided, which is fine with me.

    If you want fancy veneers, tooth polishing, laser eye surgery, massage therapy because you are stiff etc you do have to pay or have a private plan to cover those things in Canada.

    Where our system shines is for the really major stuff. I have a good friend who recieved a double lung transplant a few years ago (she was born with Cystic Fibrosys). If it was an economic decision I am sure she wouldn't be here today.

    I used to think that the media was able to manipulate us in America because Americans were stupid. Then I realized that in America we are not stupid, but rather ignorant. Stupid is a condition, ignorance is a chioce. Besides, ignorance gets better ratings.

    That is why I now vote for an Independent/fringe candidate. The laws now, which were made/passed by the dems and repubs make it very hard for a third party candidate to win a national election

    That is so true, Mike. I think that is a major reason Ross Perot dropped out the second time. Right about now I'd love to see someone come to the forefront who had a brain and some ball....no offense Ladies, but I'd just like to see someone with some moxie, either male, female, or other.
