Because a system works for Canada, doesn't necessarily mean it will work in the US. Each time socialized medicine has been tried it has failed miserably here. The Veterans Administration (VA) medical system here is an obvious example. Say what you want, but having lived in simpler times before the government got its grubby fingers into our medical system, I'll take the old system any day. Capitalism, as in all things, works far better than socialism. Help those in need, but stay out of 'everything, everywhere' ... that doesn't work. There will always be many shortchanged.

As for Reagan, again, you can have your opinion, but I also have mine. It is an insult strictly to say he was an 'actor' and therefore not qualified to speak and act as a leader. In America, anyone can grow up to be President, it's our system, whether completely true or not, it is the ideal. You needn't be a brain dead professional politician with little clue of anything outside the bounds of political ambition to lead. In fact in reality, those who limit themselves to that way of life rarely become good leaders. It is those who have a grasp beyond the ivory towers who perform the best.

In conclusion, politics and religion are best kept to oneself, and I likely shouldn't have added this link, as Phuks is not heavily into such lunacy. So I'll leave it here having expressed my opinions, and we can all go back to our own corners - LOL.
