So I asked an ethical question; and everyone responded to it with the cliche "Socialized medicine won't work" answers. My question now is simple: can anyone ethically justify a society whose health care is based on HMOs?

Remember this current system isn't a system based on choice: you don't get to choose your doctors or procedures, the HMO gets to.

Also, this system may provide better service (something debatable), but that quality is unequally distributed.

Any ethical reasons that we, as a society, should keep the current system? Let's hear them, I'm really interested.

they don't care if it hurts the country?

I despise Bush, but as I read about his upcoming Israeli/Palestinian peace talks I couldn't help the genuine optimism that he might SOMEHOW be able to pull off what no other President has been able to.

And I'm sure I'm not the only screechy, irrational Bush hater that feels the same way...in fact I can almost gurantee you that all but the filthiest of hippies feel this way.


Bush has screwed up so badly, I don't think anyone is worried that he will be "vindicated" anymore. Even if Iraq turns out ok at some point in the future, so what? Anyone who gets their facts from textbooks and experts and not Fox News or Rush Limbaugh knows that Saddam and al Qaeda hated each other and were never going to join forces, so if things go back to normal then what did we gain? We will have lost 4,000+ troops, 500,000+ Iraqis, spent 1.5+ trillion dollars, just to remove one of many murderous dictators from around the world.

So just stop it ok!!

After hearing news, of Jenna Bush announcing her engagement, on Thanksgiving, I do not know whether to be happy, or insulted. Why? Because, like too many of us commoners, my family has PEOPLE serving in the Middle East. In wars started by Jenna's daddy, George W. Bush. If Jenna is old enough to get engaged, then WHY isn't she SERVING her country? It is well-known that her daddy is DETERMINED to go down, in history, no matter how many American lives it costs. I have to ask: IF these so-called "wars" , on "terror", and Iraq, are so "critical" to America's future, why doesn't Jenna, OR her SISTER, enlist! For that matter, WHY does NO member, of the Bush cabinet have NO SERVING family? WHY do congress-people continue to support this "president", when they have NO FAMILY SERVING? I think that EACH reader should write the White House, AND Congress, asking "WHY do you keep sending OUR family, to their deaths, while keeping YOUR OWN families safe? W-H-Y?

I am getting a bit unnerved at the ignorance, if you people are going to assume so much and judgmentally label people, at least learn the difference.

If you support a presidential candidate who has only legislative branch experience (Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Hunter, Obama, Paul, Tancredo, and Thompson), what is it about their experience that attracts you?

I've been struggling with why they get support when the limits of their experience is voting up or down, being part of endless and fruitless discussions in committees that has no real power and poor attendance anyway, and sometimes proposing bills. I don't see what this has to do with executing the law, including managing a budget, enforcing national security, heading a military, planning emergency relief, etc.

Some responses, I've heard: "well, an executive wouldn't do the job perfect either." Yes, but the odds go down with people who don't know how to do the job. "Well, Clinton was married to a pres." Yes, but being married to someone and hearing them talk about a job is a long way from actually doing the job. Anything else?
