Then it is simply not your affair. But Western Europeans, Privateer, have been looking out into the world and harshly judging it by their own ethnocentric and political-economic standards for well over five-hundred years. No surprises here.


I didn't say it was my affair, but I don't need your permission to have or express an opinion on it. Does this really need pointing out? I think China should have more freedom of speech too. Would you say we are not entitled to say anything about it because we are not Chinese? And coming from an American that last dig is just stupid.

But this is really getting off the point. I only brought up healthcare to show you I'm not anti everything, which is what you said in order to dismiss us 'antis' and our criticisms of the government. And how do you respond to my allegation that you right wing internet warriors are knee-jerk anti everything 'antis' say? If you're going to go off on a tangent all the time and not respond to what I say, then there's really no point discussing anything with you. I don't want to have to recap what you said and what I said all the time.

Seven Billion Dollars.

It's ten thousand bucks per household.

It's not coming out of your budget this year, but over time as interest
rates get surcharges, inflation gets a bump the dollars devalues your
buying power erodes it will be much more than ten grand.

Let the Wall Street Wizards fix this they invented "Default Swaps".
Let them invent "Executive Equity Confiscated by Main Street"
to pay for those Swaps.
