Would you be willing to give up your first amendment right for a cheaper
hospital stay?  Even in Countries like Canada, the degradation of rights have
quickly started disappearing. 

Try getting the Fox news Channel on broadcast television in Canada.  You
can't -- by Government decree, just as there are historic subjects which are
illegal to discuss, by government decree. 

You can't legally buy a firearm in Canada for the protection of your family, 
Anecdotally, Phoenix hospitals make very good money off Canadian citizens who
don't want to wait for things like heart surgery .

I'm not going to argue with someone who has made up their mind that Socialism
is a good thing.  It's good to be open-minded Gene, But not so open-minded
that your brains fall out <G> ....bobf

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.
