[quote]Never heard of it before, and now I never will. But I don't like the liberal version of talkradio or tvshow either. I like accurate, moderate and fairspoken media and personal ramblings and jokes should be reserved for the pub.[/quote] [e digicons]:beer:[/e]

[quote]Talk Radio is a cynical form of entertainment which only seems to live off glib derision and humiliation of others. Making fun of Haiti in any way or form at this moment when so much tragedy has befallen thousands of people just shows what sort of impious etertainment talk radio can be - and what kind of perseon Rush seems to be. Who makes a living off the misery of others who just have lost everything and are still digging out their dead by turning it into some form of comedy? I don't

[quote]No, like the Trabbi, it became somewhat of a joke to the western communists. They wanted Soviet Style Communism, but of course "they" would not have to drive the trabbi or Lada (they woudl continue to get the West German Cars). It is telling - in that she reveals herself to be a campus Stalinist. Fortunately for her, it is not illegal in the west.[/quote] But this reference of both Chevy to the Lada is still quite remarkable. They are doing this health care to supposed

I'll first admit that I've no previous knowledge of the people at the 'round table' prior to this link. Something that I found to be the most telling for Ms. Katrina is toward the end of the linked clip. She refers to the cliche of Cadlillac health plans as being more like Chevy. Then follows up with 'more like Lada.' Lada is a middle line of cars made by AutoVAZ a Russian Manufacture. I'm not certain today, but this was a Russian gov't owned manufacturer

ID, I was first going to diasgree with you but I recalled the Joe Wilson incident. I still recall the outcry for Wilson's head and Pelosi's eyes threatening to popout (oh the nightmares). The man said 'You Lie' which was deemed racist by much of the left. By this standard then of the left this is deemed racism! If the left hadn't set that kind of standard then I would disagree.

[quote]Not really, Medicare and Medicaid have a history of keeping down costs. That's why physicians resist. Yet doctors make more money than they ever did before enactment.[/quote] Got some evidence to back this up? My step-dad has a practice and ALL his clients are on Medicaid or Medicare. He doesn't make much more than I do! The doctors that are making more money are specialists or in a network that benefits through pharmas and private insurance.

[quote]Even in charities there is overhead which many perceive as perks which should really only be a fair compensation for servicing the common good. [/quote] And what is the 'fair compensation for servicing the common good.' What is the standard of 'fair compensation'?

[quote]I'm simply asking for a economic system of greater integrity whereby prifits are real and then used for modest compensation and mostly for reinvesting in the same system that created the wealth. [/quote] Again back to my question: Please tell me in your mind where it is ok to make a profit and where it is not ok? what defines this 'greater integrity' for profits? And what is your definition of 'modest compensation? and who gets to decide what they
