All politicains are a joke my man, I don't know a single one with any integrity here in the U.K... although In the states I do like that old American guy Ron Paul.... he seems to have some decency about him and is orientated towards being truthful and standing up for your constitution... Too bad guys like him will never win the presidency!

All national newspapers along with the BBC are biased in some way in support of the Government... If you want real news that really matters you'll have to seek it out through independant media outlets on the internet or for 'example' if you wanted an all round perspective on news from the middle east, you could watch Aljazeera which is also 'biased' from the arab side and then watch 'fox' or 'whatever' and make up your own mind...on an issue...there are two sides to every story is what I'm getting at....

Russia Today is also a good news broadcast to check out.... obviously biased towards the russian state but quite truthful on events in the West and in Iran.

What's worth realising is that all state owned media is a tool used by the government to program people with thier agenda's and propaganda... Its a mechanism of state control and nowadays one of the best applied agents of socialisation after Family, Religion and School.

(I'll let you look up what an agent of socialisation is)

Quote: Free healthcare for all is a pipedream.....not real...someone is gonna pay for it.

Its not the cost that is free everyone who pays tax pays for it!

but free in the sense that it is 'universal' its for all people regardless of thier income.... unlike in the US I'll quote KID DYNAMITE:

It's a damn sight better than watching your countries poorest inhabitants having to choose between medical care and putting food on the table!
The actual number of people in America with NO insurance because they cannot afford it is around 3 million.....Im not saying, nor have I said they we dont need reform....we do need reform for sure. The healthcare bill currently proposed in a 2200 page nightmare of more big govt......fines for people who dont want it.....big new taxes..coverage for illegals....and a cost of 2.2 TRILLION dollars during the greatest supposed threat since the depression.

Govt. is never the answer, its the problem. People have got to get away from thinking their governments can solve all their problems and start fixing their lives for themselves.
