re: #217 drcordell

What’s your alternate reality like? Do they have good healthcare there? Can I come visit?

2,017 Iraqi civilians have already been killed thus far in 2009 because of sectarian violence. Just because it’s “down” from the 10,787 that were killed by July of 2006 doesn’t really mean much.

Yeah, healthcare is a inalienable right just alongside life, liberty and the pursuit of property. What fantasy world do you live in where you can snap your finger, or pass some flowery piece of legislation, and make everything freakin’ perfect? Yes, 2,017 is too many but the chance to have a free country and individual liberty means an awful lot. Just because something is hard does not mean it isn’t worth fighting for.
