ParticipantWe were taking some out of town buddies up to see the city from Cabrillo, so we didn’t feel a thing being in the car. Some kids ran up to us at a stop sign saying, “whoa, did you feel that?” We didn’t know what the hell they were talking about and thought they were just being dumb. Then we find out what happened and now we feel totally gypped.
My wife was born in Mexicali and we have family there. It’s a pretty crappy dusty desert town. They are all fine, but a few houses collapsed. Pretty amazing considering this was larger than the Haiti quake (7.2 vs 7.0). The difference was in the depth (20mi in Baja, 6mi in Haiti).
For you conspiracy buffs: There’s a volcano in Mexicali that is used by a geothermal plant to generate a large percentage of Baja’s electricity. The rumor amongst the residents is that the extraction of heat from the volcanic vents is what is causing the recent increase in activity there.

Participant[quote=SK in CV]But on the 2nd part, you are simply wrong. Single payer is not socialism. Canada essentially has single payer but they do not have socialized medicine. Most retirees in this country are covered by a single system. Medicare is not socialized medicine. You may be opposed to a single-payer system, but fearing it because it’s socialism is fearing the boogie man.[/quote]
Damn. Once again I forgot my /snark tag and got my post mis-interpreted. I was attempting to point out that many opponents like to claim that the bill will kill business while at the same time opposing single payer — which would have solved the very problem they are talking about.
Both sides seem to agree that insurance should be decoupled from employment. Single payer is a great option to do so, but then the socialism boogie man comes out and it’s all over.
I would have preferred single payer to what we ended up with, but fall in the “it’s better than nothing” camp.
