I don't think you understand the point of the embargo... if 300 million gringos found out they could get better medical care for free 90 miles from Florida it would be an economic catastrophe in the US. The wall is to keep us out, not them in.
Unfortunately, US health care is a like the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem:
There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
This allows the political elite to convince themselves and a sizeable proportion of the masses that they have the best medical system in the world.
a dry mile is 3 9/8 bushels longer, except in Kansas where it's *another* 7 degrees higher and isn't allowed to be measured at all on a Sunday.
It is actually dependent on which county you're in. Dry counties are actually 7 3/4 degrees higher with further restrictions on measurement after 10:00 pm the rest of the week.
And if I break the window and swipe the TVs at the local electronics shop I've proven how lousy their security is.
And if your government passes a law requiring local electronics shop to store masses of your personal data. You've also proven how lousy your security is. You've also proven that your government doesn't pass good laws.
I remember when the AMD 386DX40 was considered to be wickedly fast, except for the Motorolla 68xxx line in the Macs. Now, my router has a more powerful CPU that runs on just 100 milliamps, 5 volts. . ..
Meh.
I remember when the PDP11/73 was considered awesomely fast. Now I have a faster processor in my wristwatch.

Yup, like when a backbencher proposed a law defining life as beginning at conception, or possibly even at ovulation, so taking oral contraceptives is legally murder. Nobody at all backed it but it was still a "proposed Harper law." Very dishonest reporting.
If you're referring to the recent private member's bill, you are misreporting it yourself. The bill asked for a parliamentary committee to examine the issue of when human life begins.
Currently, there's no abortion law at all in Canada. If you kill a baby in the womb, even if it's viable -- even up to nine months, it's not murder. If you're a doctor you'll face losing your license. If you're not, you'll face charges of practising medicine without a license. Nevertheless, you haven't broken any law regarding abortion. It was this anomaly that (on the face of it) the private members bill was trying to address.
Canadians can't come to a consensus on what the abortion law should be, so we're currently living (or dying) with no law at all on the subject. Any proposal to come to a consensus is screamed down or characterised just the way you did, as a back door means to introduce draconian laws.
Rupert Murdoch does not control Fox News. Fox News is controlled only by the sincerest desire to provide fair, balanced, truthful reporting. How could you possibly believe otherwise?
Eventually the processor, the display, and everything else will be "good enough" for anything anybody wants to use a tablet for.
...
Even with an external keyboard and mouse (and then, why not use a laptop?), the screen is just too small, if it's still going to be usable as a tablet.
Add that touch screens are not well suited to any kind of prolonged activity, no matter what it is. Remember the gorilla arm syndrome, and why tablet PCs failed the first two times they were introduced.
To paraphrase -- The killer app for the tablet will be an air keyboard.
The air keyboard will probably still be QWERTY still predominate. Input technologies are zombies.
It will be true about anywhere someone who makes $1 a day gets internet access and can suddenly interact with people who make $50,000 a year. Welcome to one of the downsides of a flat earth
Oh, I agree, the big downside of a flat earth is that rich people are in contact with poor people. I see that, now. If only we could get back to a system in which there could be no interaction. Those systems are generally the best for humanity.
<irony>Well, you don't want to settle for no interaction, Let's just go back to slave ships and colonisation. Life was so much better then!</irony>
BTW, aynokn is Nkonya in reverse. I've lived in the milieu for the better part of 20 years.
We had a big solar power plant shut down in california because it infringed on the habitat of a local lizard. It was in the middle of the desert... nothing around it for miles.

Must have been written from someone from La Vega or Lo Angele maybe An Francico
Hmm, how would you say that in COBOL?
why not do what other jurisdictions have done and make it a sliding scale?
Fine, perhaps a good idea. but even having the discussion is not permitted in Harper's parliament

Rape is for example twice as prevalent in Holland as in the US.
Are these statistics controlled for different definitions of rape, different reporting levels, etc.? I suspect not.

If those are the actual effects _on_you_, I strongly recommend suicide as you are wasting useful oxygen.
He's not wasting useful oxygen, he's converting it into much more useful CO2.
We haven't been screaming for people to take care of the soil, flora and fauna for nothing. But carry on.
We will!

"Not In My Backyard" applies for lizards too!
Obama claims he is against SOPA and PIPA yet he signed ACTA last year.
He signed ACTA while it was still under the radar.
You missed the summertime mosquitoes as big as B52 bombers.

My name is Inode Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
I'll bet the testers were lizards!
Also, for those who can't tell, I inverted the "o"s in woosh for added effect.
I also notice that the last three letters of "added" and the first four letters of "effect" are spelled backwards.
This is a good thing. Google should not allow its own emails to get through my spam filter regardless of its settings.
