I really wonder how many people would be willing to just hand it all over.

I don't support the current healthcare system. My sister had an anxiety attack that left her temporarily paralyzed this weekend. Took her to ER, she had to wait 3 hours before a doctor even LOOKED at her. So why can't we have an "expidited" line. My parents would have signed over some cash to put her in front of the crack heads, battered women and old people who have nothing better to do than go to the hospital when they are bored.

The country is falling apart, and RADICAL reforms need to take place.
poor people arent entitled to health care and housing and education, whats wrong with living on a sheet of cardboard under a bridge...maybe a little dumpster diving for a quick snack...mighty tasty, im sure...

as for the Indians, well they couldnt beat whitey, arrows against bullets is so unfair, Brad... but they became the pawns in a long term social engineering screwup, while their children were sexual playthings for the religious wingnuts at those wonderful residential schools...
