CB, Yes we have argued that before. But we got no where. Taxes are lower here because this country was founded on the principle of low taxes and limited government. Our freedoms were won after a war that was sparked by tax revolt! And it was individual gun ownership that made fighting and winning that war possible. The founding fathers clearly state in their supporting writings in which they spell out what they meant that individual gun ownership was their aim for the 2nd amendment. And if it was not why has it taken 200 years for some liberals to figure that out. It seems it would have been apparent right away! It was not apparent because individual gun ownership was always intended to be a constitutional right by the founding fathers. SR

there is nationalized health care, Yes, there is, and my uncle was a doctor in England and urged me to oppose nationalized health care in the US with all the ability I had. I live close to Canada (I can see it from my window) and have many Canadian friends (our Lions club region spans the US and Canada) and they have nationalized health care. Friends who can afford it come to the US for health care when they need care without waiting months for it. Friends who can't, wait, and wait, and sometimes die waiting. Literally. We messed with Ma Bell and messed up the best phone system in the world. Now the Clintons are trying to mess with health care and destroy the best health care system in the world. If I had lived in Canada, I would be blind now. The emergency surgery I got within eight hours of need in Seattle would have required a seven week wait in Canada. During which time I would have gone blind. No thanks.
