I found this little gem on the www
Riddle me this
"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.
~ Thomas Sowell":)
Hi, paraclete!
So, what is your point in posting that, please? It represents a dichotomy of thought not conducive to a platform for debate or argument. In other words, it makes no sense except in the consideration that there will be people who'll take both views concerning that which is stated by what you posted.
Some people will always take to the route of least resistance and go for that which is popular, even when doing so might be the incorrect thing to do, in spite of what statisctics and/or evidence tell us what would be the best route to take as far as having a viewpoint or legislative opinion that might become law in some way.
Thanks!

On the one hand you have those who think that if you cannot afford the costs of living in a modern society it's your fault for being born in that time and that place, one could call this the Darwinist view.Quote:

You suggest there is no room for debate therefore placing yourself in the Darwinist camp, I on the other hand think all points of view should be vigoursly debated because we only progress as a society when we have a full and open dialogue:D
