quote:
Agreed, things like a government structure that works because of it's structure as opposed to one that works in spite of it, a political system in which cooperation between parties is the norm rather than the exception, a party system that does not give voters a stark choice between us and them, and a level of political debate and discourse that goes beyond "They are wrong because they are them", an understanding that universal single payer is the only sensible model for delivery of decent health care, and an acceptance of the blatantly obvious fact that industries as vital as banking & the financial sector require regulation because they have too great a potential to do harm if left to their own devices. Don't try and misrepresent my intent. Your government has it's own issues.. Don't pretend like you don't have infighting and corruption. Your country was hit with some of the recession as well. Also don't pretend that "we the people" want what you have. We can and have had what you seem to think you have now and we can have it again. Also don't pretend that your country doesn't lose rights when you choose socialist programs.. You don't have much of a choice.. Can you opt out of the healthcare program? Uh no, it's illegal as far as I've read to do so. So there's one freedom you've lost.. You HAVE to do it their way. You loose rights that an otherwise independently free person might have if you buy into government dictated anything. If you like it that way.. good for you. I don't want anyone telling me what i can and can't do, especially in my everyday life coming from governments. If I want to carry a gun, pick my own health insurance, smoke pot and fuck all.. That's what I want to be able to do as long as I don't hurt anyone else in the process. As far as even keeled political debate you sure as fuck don't know what that is. quote:
quote: You also don't police the world do you and spend trillions on "defense".. Perhaps you shouldn't. I don't, my leaders do and I'm looking for someone that doesn't want to either. We have no business in anyone's country unless it's absolutely warranted under an attack of us. But that still doesn't address my meaning.. That's part of the reason your country wasn't hit as hard by the recession.. It's budget isn't burdened by great military "defense" expenditures. That has nothing to do with socialism and much more to do with the nation's war view as a whole. quote:
quote: This country was founded the way it was and that's the way we like it. Or perhaps the majority of your citizens are not sufficiently educated to understand the flaws in the way your country was founded, and those that do understand it are too busy exploiting those flaws for their personal gain to let on to the rest. There are no problems with it... We liberated ourselves from a bunch of assholes and we did just fine for quite a long time.... some of the asshole mentality is back and has been for some time.. We've gotten away from what this nation prospered on and it's wanting to right itself through it's people. You may think you understand what America is about but to me it's apparent you don't. This nation doesn't want socialism and you're about to see that. It may have settled lately for it in many ways but watch what I say, a change is coming. It's starting to wake from that foggy socialist slumber of death. Even if Ron Paul doesn't win and I don't believe that to be the case, for the future, a revolution has started. Many a ruling class have fallen during trying times like this and it takes these kinds of hardships to jar people from their naps. In the weeks to come, you'll see him rise and you'll see them do everything they can to try and crush him. That includes ganging up on him as a team in the coming debates. Only problem for them though is that the nation is coming alive and is ready for someone like him.. We don't need socialism...We'll fix the problems without it.
