And yet in the time since 1913 America has become the world's most powerful nation economically, militarily, and culturally in the history of civilization.
Exactly how has socialism (however defined) hurt the United States?

Well he has never been regarded as a diva and for most of my life I could not stand him. But a few years back a colleague lent me "Blood On the Tracks" and it was beautiful, the writing, the music and eventually the voice all captured me. It is now on my TOP 10 list.
As for the hippie-hate, that was a long time ago ... let it go, most hippies have.

Oh the evils of socialism in the USA: the US military, coast guard, police, NASA, most roads & bridges, Medicare, US Post ...
You live in a fantasy world if you believe that "socialism" is not already in America. In fact your security depends on collective action, your economy depends on public roads, just like every other developed nation.

In Montana the population is very low compared to Chicago so of course gun crime would be low. But anyway I was taking about gun wounds, not gun crime.
Moderator: Readers, stay on topic please. This story is not about gun control.

cleo it boggles the mind at to how some equate world class health care to some magically transform into a benefit to the 10s of millions not insured or the millions more who are underinsured.
To say nothing of those stuck in jobs only because they would risk losing all health coverage if they changed jobs as the insurance companies pick through their medical histories for "pre-existing conditions". If this defines world class, then world class is not good enough.

Gee Bushlover who said anything about bowing to Dylan? He is someone who has been world famous for the last 5 decades. It is mildly amusing that 2 cops in his own country had no idea who he was. Mildly amusing is all ... no need for the salty talk over a trivial matter.

I wonder if "proud NRA members" like Mr. Rathie are concerned about how much gun wounds (accidental or otherwise) add to escalating costs of health care in America. Presumably it would be a concern, are they doing anything about it?

and by inference Bush, Cheney and the rest should not be held accountable for their inability to protect America on 9/11 (even though that was their job). They are incredibly lucky that they have not been required to answer for their collective inaction.
Molenir you may be correct about the despising of Bush/Cheney on the Right, but silence across the board? That does not sound like a healthy free press.

I think this is part of a larger effort to create a hagiography for ... George W. Bush. Bush has said a million times how history will vindicate him.
Cheney taking the role of the villain, or the biblical scapegoat, does move Bush toward vindication. Given Cheney's disdain for what other people think of him I would not be surprised if he sees this role as an honorable thank you to Bush for sharing the levers of power.

Much ado about nothing. I watched the exchange on BBC and she never raised her voice and answered rather matter-of-factly. How else was she to handle the question and would any other SoS or politician answer any different?
Anger? Hardly.

Which is available to those who have the right kind of health insurance and certainly not available to the 10s of millions with no insurance.

Mmmm tough question. Obviously jail has not been a deterrent if 11,000 people have been killed. How about stop doing drugs which would then affect demand thus the profit motive which often leads to murder? But like I said, the Canadian and American users are too indifferent to care about their part in that bloodshed.

Well the drug users of Canada and America should be held to account for their part in this tragic situation in Mexico. But unfortunately, like LastBestHope, they are too indifferent about the suffering of others to change.

Then shouldn't you also object to the control private for-profit insurance companies have over deciding who gets health coverage? But you don't because you do not actually care about health care, it is all ideology. Speaking of which ...
The over 40 million Americans without health care are not a "small segment" of American society and then include the 10s of millions who are under-insured, disqualified because of pre-existing conditions, face imminent job loss and so on.
It is ideology that allows some people to ignore the suffering of their fellow citizens. Obama's plan probably is not perfect, but what have the GOP done to address the very real health care problems faced by a significant segment of American society? Not much.

How many 10s of millions of American citizens don't have health insurance? How many millions more are under insured? Most people think the present system sucks, but what has the GOP done to help their fellow citizens? They had 8 years in office ... now they cry because someone else is doing what they could not do. You had your chance and you squandered it.

Why do you support illegal behaviour? Are you happen with all the illegal immigrants in your country? Why should anyone tolerate people illegally in their country?
