JF, > "Liberals" may want to use parts of the European system that work better than ours, but I don't remember any "liberals" wanting to convert our entire government system. But of course you know that. The same logic leads to the notion that we can simply keep parts of the free market system that works and use government intervention to fix those parts that don't. The reality is that you end up exchanging one system for another, which means you inherit both the benefits and the drawbacks. Take universal health care, for instance. You keep claiming that health care in Europe is both better and cheaper. Even if it is (and the results vary widely depending on the country), do you think that's primarily due to socialized medicine? Or do you think there are more important factors involved such as diet and lifestyle? Tenchusatsu
