I'll never understand the way people fight against healthcare. I though I do understand ever so slightly more than the average canadian and I've explained to lots of my friends that people are against it because it'll screw up/shut down lots of small businesses, and people could see jobs cut or wages cut to pay for the new coverage.

I'm always fascinated by american politics. The thing that gets me is that lots of our government services here (the postal system, national parks, provincial parks, national museums etc) are run as for profit businesses whereas the USA subsidizes these things.

That is one of the reasons why Lincoln should not be touted as much as he was. He did some purely evil things, and got amazingly lucky in winning the civil war.

That sounds like an interesting read.
