You missed my point on the election.  You don't have a free election.  You have a choice between 4 people that the government tells you to vote for.  In America, anybody can run.

What good does it do for us to every two years replace somebody we elected ourselves, with somebody the government tells us we can elect?  That's rediculous.  So, let me get this straight.  When you get pissed at your current president, whom the government allowed you to choose out of 4 people, you're allowed to choose the guy that didn't win 2 years ago?  How is that a good thing?  That's a rediculous thing.  That's not freedom.  That's the illusion of freedom.

You can say whatever you want, but the truth is, a poor kid from Arkansas can work hard, and one day become president of the United States.  Then almost get impeached, then his wife can almost become president as well.  Rags to riches, right there in Bill Clinton... and you can say what you want, but the motherfucker didn't have shit when he was born and now he has everything.  THAT, is freedom.

Freedom? Freedom is over-rated. Freedom gives the people a choice. Well most of the time the average person is too stupid to make the right choice. You defend your system, yet you guys elected George W Bush, twice. Our system pre-selects qualified people which we get to choice from. No one in Canada complains. No one in Canada is pissed off at our Federal government in the same way the US is pissed off at yours. Canada's system is better, because when we get a failing candidate, he gets kicked out, and we get to vote again. Your system produced Bush. And you re-elected Bush.

Freedom is meaningless when the average voter is too stupid to pick the right candidate. Most Americans hate their government. Most Canadians like their government. The facts are their man. Canada's people like their system. America doesn't. And you've put yourself into a hole by picking the "popular" candidate, Bush, and not the right candidate.

And about the Health Care system. It works for you. Does it work for every American? If your 50 with Cancer, does your HMO pay every cent? No. The system works for you, it fails the majority.

As with everything, most Americans don't like their health care system. Canadians do like their system. It's free. Everything is 100% free. And all we pay is 25$ a month or whatever it is. Your basically argueing against Universal Health Care. Well buddy, its the best way. It treats everyone equally. The way it should be. The US may have better doctors, may, but when you break your leg and you have to pay 1200$ per night for a hospital bed, you'll wish you'd had Universal Health Care.

The American system leaves your coverage at the discretion of the Insurance Companies. How is that a good idea?

The US has a serious complex. They think everything they have, everything they do, is the best. They feel entitled to everything. What really bugs me is idiots who complain about the price of oil and gasoline. Europe pays 4x as much for a gallon of gas then Americans, and Americans complain?
