good old yankeeville. The USA spends about 50% of the total anual global expenditures for defence, war making capabilites, each year. However, this country is the only industrialized country not having some form of univeral health care coverage. Evidently, the tax payers would rather have the monies spent on killing people rather than spent on saving lives. there are so many right wing fanatics in this country. Way to many are for themselves and the hell with everyone else. It sucks.frustrated Peace and love to you all. Bruce

Well, America is the army of the world innit?grin

Anyway ..... dont worry too much, its better to kill people than to save them ... there`s not enough water on the planet, and food (real food) is running out. NOt enough space for forests, or for much agriculture too. And dams only cause big problems (like in China and Egypt)..... The seas and oceans aren`t going to last much longer as habitats for fish......they just good enough for tourists to bathe in - sort of mini sesspools.....

So ... yeah..... kill more people. It`s more economical.

Read Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. It`s a satire on America - amongst other things.sad flower

will do. fall and winter are my reading months. Most of my reading is ancient history. man has been making the same mistakes since the first civilizations appeared around 3,500 bc. Killing and more killing. America is a satire isnt it.

I know that people love to knock the National Health Service in the UK, but I'd sure as hell rather be ill here than ill in the US without health insurance.

Obama is to be praised for trying to do something about it. Hope he is successful. It won't be perfect, but many people aren't looking for "perfect". "Something" will do them just fine, I reckon.

Obama is trying, but there is a lot of resistance. Not sure why.
