ParticipantA half million people may have died in an earthquake in Haiti. That’s no big deal since that’s a much smaller number of people than die of car accidents throughout the world. Nice dude. It’s all unacceptable and these victims deserve a little respect.
I meant no disrespect. My point is only that people are very concerned and afraid about something that is unlikely to affect them. Statistically, how will most of us die?
* Heart disease
* Cancer
* Stroke
* Car accidentFlu is WAY down the list. The media and pharmaceutical companies hype these kinds of fears because they can make money doing so. Want to reduce your probability of dying? Forget untested vaccines and try eating right, exercising, lowering your stress level and shortening your commute. As an added bonus, all of these will also make you less susceptible to diseases like the flu.

ParticipantI’ve done a lot of travel in Europe – except for the filthy rich – people live smaller… smaller houses and apartments, smaller cars, less stuff… We could learn a lesson.
Sounds good to me as long as we get all the nice stuff they enjoy like quality public transport, medical care, free university, pensions, 4+ weeks vacation mandatory, labor rights, etc…
People there basically make a deal to live with less in exchange for a tremendous amount of benefits. Here we’ll be living with less and no benefits at all. France probably isn’t a good example of what the future US will be like, but Mexico might not be too far off the mark…

ParticipantOf course, we’d all rather have single-payer system, like, you know, civilized countries… but you’d probably argue that it’s unconstitutional too.
Hahaha you obviously don’t know me very well Eugene. I’ve argued in favor of state-sponsored health care on this board many times. You may now return to your comfortable left-right paradigm…
