    Hmm? What makes you say that? I don't need much help, thank you. I'm familiar with how forums work. But, if I ever do, I'll be sure to ask you.
    I finished that, Men In Black, Culture of Corruption (Malkin), Liberal Fascism (Goldberg), Arguing With Idiots (Beck), and Common Sense (Beck) all in this past year. I'm working on The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen. It was one of the books Glenn suggested. Considering he's a Mormon like me I'm not surprised; Skousen was one of the greatest Mormon constitutional authors ever. What I really want to do though is pick through Obama's Audacity of Hope for all the sneaky things he gets across with crafty language and compare it to Mein Kampf.
    Yeah, we all had flags too. They were passing out pretty good sized ones. And when we rallied through town the two people leading the way held a huge American flag and another flag with the snake.
    Attend protests indeed. I went to the very first tea party (on taxes, way back in april, remember?), and I love the sign I made. XD I have it hung up on the wall in my room.

    One side has a picture of the statue of liberty shackled to a ball and chain. The ball has Obama's campaign seal on it with a hammer and sickle superimposed on top of it. COMMIELOL? And next to it I wrote "Chains we can believe in."

    Then on the other side I took the same Obama seal with the hammer and sickle, and I drew an old fashioned black ball-shaped bomb around it with the fuse. Next to it I wrote: "Change isn't always a good thing."
    Alas! D= You think you could make a new one? It's fine with me if you don't want to but we'd be able to talk much more frequently. Plus I really need more conservative friends.

    And don't worry too much about running right now. The American people are PO'ed and there will be tons of candidates coming out of the woodwork.
    I've thought about running before, but I'm a Latter-Day Saint and I've got a mission to go on first (quite soon, actually, I just turned 19). Plus I'd like to educate myself on this stuff a little bit more beforehand. Although winning would be epically awesome. =D

    I see you're only 15. Looks like you've got a pretty level head on your shoulders. Reminds me of myself back then. Have you got an MSN or AIM account?
    im sorry i wasnt on when i was meant to be
    however, i recieved a tru arceus off a friend a few days ago, so the trade is not nesecarry :)
    thanks anyway :)
    Believe it or not the health care companies aren't the greedy ones. Their profit margin is 6%! (which is nothing if you know anything about corporate profits) Meanwhile, minimum-wage powered and dollar menu value fast food joints have a profit margin of 7.5%! To be honest I think the insurance companies are cutting down as much cost as they can for their clients while still being able to survive as a company.

    Now, as for fixing this, I have a couple ideas that will cut a ton of the cost out. First, we have to regulate these frivolous lawsuits better. (TORT REFORM!) It's not necessarily the lawsuits themselves, it's that the medical practices have been driven into paranoia with their frequency. Tons and tons of money is wasted on excess testing and procedures when medical practices do defensive medicine. And who can blame them? lawsuits can put them out of business completely, and both of us know people sue for nothing.

    Secondly, the real greedy scoundrels here are the colleges. THEY are the ones who need reform. Tuition is RIDICULOUSLY high for ANY profession, not to mention becoming a doctor takes a good 12 years of school. I saw a dateline documentary a couple years back that investigated all the frivolous spending colleges undertook while their professors weren't teaching and they hiked tuition to insane levels for those of us in the middle class who don't get many grants. The doctors have to spend the first ten years of their income on nothing but loans. If they want to actually be able to make ends meet with their business, however, they will inevitably pass the college cost onto the insurance companies by raising their fees, which forces the insurance companies to raise their premiums on us.

    All because some idiot headmaster has to gold-clad their campus and install Olympic-sized swimming pools. ugh.

    But the best part about fixing it with these? It doesn't cost the taxpayers ONE DIME, but it saves us tuition money AND helps the insurance companies lower premiums. And the only people who lose out are the lawyers and the stuck-up rich professors and school boards. You crying for them? I'm not.
