Disagreement is one thing. What I see here is contmept and that is another and this is not the only place that I see it. Thus, my developing
conclusions. How sad that you represent such a lack of respect for a diversity of opionion and have to stoop to personal assault when others disagree
with you.
I understand your position Philpot, I truly do. Diversity in your mind is when a non-American nods in agreement with you. Now if you see contempt in
my posts, then imagine what I see in yours. I will not be engaged by you or anyone in here for that matter in hurling insults, that to me is the
epitome of having no defense of your position.
You made a blanket statement, and asked a question and it was answered. Now understand me and understand me clearly; this Canadian is expressing the
views of the majority which is, we do not wish to ramp up our military to suit the man in the White House whomever he may be, or you, or those who
believe as you do. And while our Prime Minister may be bullied or bribed or be a neo-con and sign on to such a policy, the battles such as this
debacle in Iraq is your creation and your problem, the supposed heightened terrorist threat was brought about by your leaders, not your citizenry,
but your leaders, and the majority of Canadians want no part of your government's live in fear Orwellian state they are trying to create.

My obvious disagreement with the Canadian Healthcare System is because I'm a member of it (or more accurately, the Canadian patients I see are
trying to escape it). I am a healthcare professional and my company's headquarters is in Fargo, ND.We have clinics across the Highline and we do a
considerable amount of business with Canadian citizens who come across the border to get medical services on demand (they pay cash up front, something
that is illegal in Canada) because they don't want to wait (or medically they can't).
Yes there are Canadians who venture over to the US for health services for several reasons. But perhaps you can shed some light for us on what those
services you personally know of entailed; why if those services were life threatening they were paid for out of pocket; and how many Canadians are you
aware of sought those services. By the way, I know of no law that says it is illegal for a Canadian to seek health services out of country, so the
games have begun indeed.
I think it is wonderful that Canadians can afford to attend in the US for health services and pay for them out of pocket, if you would be so kind to
point to the specific Canadian law which you must be citing, it would be appreciated. I find it interesting that that you try and bolster your case
against our health care system by speaking of Canadians obviously paying thousands of dollars per night for a bed, never mind the surgery, when you
have some 50 million Americans without that "cheap insurance" you mention, especially given that those same Americans could not buy their way into
an operating room for life saving surgery ahead of a paying Canadian unless they mortgage their souls, if they even have a mortgagable soul.
I often hear and read the tired argument that no American can be turned away, well that argument is dead in the water because if it was so, health
care would not be heated debate in your country that it has been for as long as I can remember.
When you said I had stepped in it, you meant that you were going to abandon logic and just harass me to death.
