A view on the French health system.

Will post the pro side later. Having trouble getting both links in the same post without having to publish and then edit.

A more favorable view of the French health care.

I have not run the per capita number for doctors or dentist to compare to the U.S. I would expect the U.S. to have more per capita but would not believe that proved anything, given that the countries are not comparable geographically.

res-In light of that memory, how do you feel about Bush's claim that we are in an energy crisis, as bad as the 1970's?

Once again you have to resort to making up a claim in order to point some of your hate toward Bush. Only people filled with hate have to resort to falsify information daily the way you do. He never said "we are in an energy crisis, as bad as the 1970's". He said we face the worst problem since the 70's (or words to that effect)

Which has a totally different meaning and connotation. Thinking Americans understand that, and thinking Americans realize we need to both conserve energy and increase supply in order to dig us out of Clinton's energy legacy hole.

It's nice to see we finally have some leadership in Washington that respects Americans enough to level with them, and set out a clear common sense course correction.

In the process, honesty and integrity exposes the Demolibs as the shallow, uncaring, money grabbing spendaholic demagogues they are. Who have to daily resort to making up statements in order to assuage their illogical rhetorical nonsense.

Scumbria,
I recall you refering to Carter as incompetent or some such derrogatory comment.
Now he is your source of opinion?

Jim

Dear Scumbria: Well,for me at least it is not comparable to the 70's. I have gas, at a higher cost, and my power is on (although lost it last night for an hour or so, dont know why). However, for someone with rolling blackouts (I dont recall having that in the 70's) it may be even worse. Who knows, I am sure when Bush mentions energy crisis he is looking at the big picture, not just my gas tank. jdn
