Politics & Government - 26 September 2007

Universal Healthcare is a huge topic today. Here is an article that I found about this topic. Recently one of Canada's prime ministers came here to the USA for treatment for something. I can't find the news story and I am still looking for it, but its interesting that the Utopian Universal Healthcare system is now going to subcontract private industries to handle things that they cannot do efficiently.

It would solve the immigration issue!
They have some nice beaches! We could just break it apart and make it a few more states! Their government is corrupt and pathetic anyways.
**Just a conversation question, I don't think we should actually invade Mexico!**

Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.

I mean , the most expensive medications do not have generic brands. Many popular brand-name drugs are cheaper to buy in Canada, than in the U.S

if businesses can organize against labor, can't labor organize against business?

doesn't freedom and capitalism work both ways?

or should workers just shut up and do what they're told?

find a new job that can do whatever it wants to labor?

god bless america?!

My grandad died a few months back and left no will. My dad (as the oldest of the 3 kids) is the administrator dealing with all the probate. However i dont think he plans to include me and my brother, does anyone know the rules on this? can i speak to probate myself? I know it may sound like im a money grabbing cow but honestly im not, but my nan and grandad always told me when they died they would def leave me and my bro some money and i just think its a bit unfair that everone else will get the money. my dad is remarried and has another kid who will def benefit fromt he money.
Any help appreciated.

TWICE: My daughter got a speeding ticket, pled not guilty, showed up an hour late for court, the state trooper never appeared, and the case was dismissed.

Is it a coincidence or is she onto something?

If the terrorist are protected by groups in Pakistan and the government there cannot deal with those groups or allow our military to attack, should we repect their sovereignty and should we conduct policy as usual?
Maybe it will provoke a total war and we will all make sacrifices. Remember they have nuclear weapons.

I seriously thought this guy was a Democrat the entire time he was Mayor of NY, and his stance on gun control was one of the reasons! Now all of a sudden he's for gun rights, puleeze. Can we kiss the NRA's collective ***'s any harder?

Your thoughts on this, you widely varied eclectic crowd that you are... :)

I'm doing a contrast research project on whether or not women who are not 'healthy & normal' should have kids, from an ethical standpoint.
And am having difficulties getting information from the ethics side of things.

I do not agree nor disagree with the question, I am just asking to get your view.
