Our personal freedoms and individual liberties are on the line . This is the most afraid I have been for this country in my life. And, that fear has nothing to do with any trivialities, like those "exposed" on Snopes........................bobford

I'm still trying to get a handle on this socialism aspect of the presidential campaign of 2008.

One of the important conditions I am thinking about is that many European countries have superior stats on various quality-of-life factors. Canada, of course, has a superior health care system, regardless of the BS fed the media by certain political minions. My stepson and his wife and grandsons live in the Toronto area. I get facts, not BS. They tell me, yes, their taxes are higher than ours but they do not want our inferior health care system. Lots of Americans going up there. Lots of Americans going to India for operations. We can do better.

I am thinking that we have been brain washed to believe that socialism is bad because it is perceived by conservatives to be bad for big business. I think big business is overlooking a good thing. Bill Gates is the author of a big article in a recent Time Magazine about how business can do better if it adopts a social care agenda, that it is in fact a win-win deal.
