Sure. . .

That's the model France, generally regarded as the best health-care system in the world, uses. Australia and Japan use variations on that model (Australia is "public option" insurance). There are good arguments for it. When health-care facilities are constrained by the sharp-eyed people at...

It'd sure as hell put them arrogant, pushy, Punjabi-speaking Canadians in their place!

I didn't vote for Trump.

Maybe y'all should take a lesson from that heaven-on-earth, Pakistan, and pick a minority language as your official language. They chose Urdu, even though only about 7% of Pakistanis speak it as their milk tongue, with Punjabi (48%), Sindhi (12%), Saraiki (10%), and Pashto (8%) way ahead...

Anybody who thinks that any health-care system can be anything but "two (or more) tier" is fantasizing. The smart play is to just acknowledge it and elevate the lower tier as much as feasible.

Our righties should look into emigrating to Floriduh. Most recently, a judge has struck down provisions of Floriduh's "Stop Woke Act" which purported to tell PRIVATE corporations how they could and could not train their employees. I like the Act. It lays bare the inescapable truth (though I'm...

It wasn't just immigrants. People could sell themselves into bondage for a term of years, usually for a cash payment that went to their families. Children could be so sold BY their families. It's why the Thirteenth Amendment starts with "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude. . ." And...

Either indenture (which was distinct from slavery, but is useful for people desperately seeking to face up to their past), or the rare occurrences where a White person was held captive (which is actually kidnapping). Either way, this will be the right's standard response even when you point out...

Tu quoque. And once again it's "the leftists." And not one single document of who the leftists are. But it's nice to see you approve of this practice. Leastways when your side does it.

Why can't WE have "problems" like this?

Meh, medium-sized. Great whites go up to 2 and a half tonnes, and whale sharks can hit 20 tonnes.

Besides, we fought wars too. So it was OK.

Oh! Well, I guess that makes it OK. Just like it was OK to wipe out the Natives because "Indians fought wars too."

Not at all. Precisely. I was questioning the quality of your information. You claimed that Cheney's constituents wanted to know what she was doing for them. Then you followed that with the advice to "listen to the people and not the media." So I asked how many of "the people" you've...

So. . . it's all about Trump? Yeah, that's the problem.

No, an ad hominem argument would be "You're an idiot" or "You're a brainwashed right-wing racist." This is epistemology.

How many Wyoming voters have you spoken with?

Thanks for the example of false equivalence. Of course, we know that in whatever you use for a mind, these people are WRONG and HORRIBLE and ANTI-AMERICAN, but the guy who ordered his minions to attack the United States Congress to keep him in power is your true leader.
