First:
Dear teenage boys who wear the anarchy symbol,
Really? Really? What is your interpretation of anarchy? I get that you are an adolescent in the throes of teenage angst and rebellion. I understand that you feel like your life is being controlled by parents, teachers, police and the big, bad government. I get that, honest. However, have you actually researched what anarchy means? Do you realize that if our government was to overthrown today and we found ourselves in the chaos of an anarchist society, you still wouldn't be in control? Actually, as a non-powerful member of society, you'd probably be in hiding with your family, in a violent gang or dead.
Therefore, wear your anarchy symbol... it makes you appear uneducated and rather dumb. Good luck with that.
Second:
Dear Americans
Why is it that so many of you are afraid of Health Care? I admit, it's not perfect. Also, I probably pay more taxes then you. However, when my baby boy was born, he spent 5 days in NICU. I'm sure that would cost you a pretty penny. Also, he wore casts for 4 1/2 months. That means 4 1/2 months of seeing a specialist weekly. He's also had 3 operations. We also see a physio therapist every other week. WE HAVEN'T HAD TO PAY A DIME FOR ANY OF THESE SERVICES!!!!! We're not wealthy and, we probably never will be. Our son's disability would have crippled us financially (insurance only goes so far, folks). Here in Canada, it's not a concern at all. Your President is actually doing you a favour; relax and give it a try.

I agree!
I have been equally furious with the Americans health care issue. A classic was when CNN posted viewers comments and one person said they didn't agree with health care because everyone in America is supposed to just look out for themselves. I would say that's a pretty strong root of the problem!
Good post!
i'm with you on the healthcare thing - you know, being a canadian living in the states and all. the thing about taxes is that here in california, we pay pretty close to the same amount in taxes that we did in canada. however, in the US, the vast majority of our tax dollars go to funding a completely unnecessary war, whereas your tax dollars buy you healthcare.....it really is a seriously f'ed up system.
