Whipping up hatred to a frenzy on such a personal level makes me marvel that so far that the fate all reasonable people dread hasn't happened to Obama (yet?). If I was a believer I'd be praying like anything that it doesn't.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-64116516300485564882009-08-15T05:10:12.665-07:002009-08-15T05:10:12.665-07:00Mr Hannann must have been offered something pretty...Mr Hannann must have been offered something pretty by someone in the US to feed into the anti-national health care propoganda by someone in the US, since we idiot moron sheep Americans can't prove your systems are worse than what we have so we must lie about them or get someone to do it for us.Breenlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317914861018120156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-51740110292122039172009-08-14T23:54:50.798-07:002009-08-14T23:54:50.798-07:00That's reassuring, Larry. Maybe I shouldn'...That's reassuring, Larry. Maybe I shouldn't take to heart so much of what I see on Jon Stewart's excellent 'Daily Show' (shown here at 8.30 p.m. on the following day.) A point made here is that 60 years ago there were precisely the same arguments made here in the U.K. as you are now hearing put forward by the pharmaceutical companies and their paid lobbyists. Now we just never hear one single voice demanding our National Health Service be dismantled. Of course ALL countries have their share of bigots. It just seems from this side of the pond that in America they are disproportionately influential. But I do hope that's only an unfair impression.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-37751903014266089792009-08-14T09:54:45.759-07:002009-08-14T09:54:45.759-07:00Don't be fooled.

I'm quite embarrassed at the behavior of so many weak-minded Americans these days, so easily brainwashed by the greedy insurance and pharmaceutical industries. We need folks like you to get on TV and tell Americans the truth about how things work in the UK.Larry Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745877140802572008noreply@blogger.com
