i pay for my healthcare (and many other peoples) long before i need to go to the hospital, when the government takes half of my paycheque every week. there isn't really too much i can do about that now is there? and we don't exactly get SS cheques here, we ahve canada pension plan. but in reality, i'm 22 years old man, and by the time i'm old enough to start collecting it, i see it as getting back a SMALL PORTION of what i've paid into it over the years. (if theres anything left after the baby-boomers pillage it) come to think of it, its not a bad deal. i love canada and i wouldn't live anywhere else in the world, despite our many shortcomings.
24 hour news is in itself a farce... and yeah you are right there, theres only so much they can yak about. but lets not play dumb, it got way more coverage than it needed because it was a identifiable story about your president to make everyone think he's a swell fellow. it was stupid, pandering dreck like 90% of the stories on obama.
and i'm sorry you interpreted my remarks as broadbrushing americans as racists or PC vaginas, of course it was an oversimplification. but i didn't question the validity of your arguments simply because of where you live.
