I misunderstood.
Nevertheless, somebody earning 100k (outside of CA/NY) living within their means should be able to pay off 54k in debt (not counting exorbitant interest) well within 10 years.
...which is totally irrelevant.
If one had an infinite number of cars, it would still be wrong to take one under the assumption that the owner doesn't mind.
Well, they obviously can't take care of themselves. Not that I'm saying that Americans would be able to take care of themselves in a crisis like this. To be fair, there hasn't been one quite this bad in some time (Katrina didn't actually hit that many people because most left).
Your entire post is made irrelevant by the fact that in countries with universal health care (UK, France, etc), you aren't allowed to pay for better medical care then what the state can provide for you.
Of course, you can always fly to the US... oh wait.
Very few people who may doubt AGW would have any problem with replacing fossil fuels with nuclear power.
It's just that, you know, politicians are pansies and don't want to build nuclear power plants. (hint: it won't make them rich).

Try this at home, kids!
I'm guessing you've never been in East LA.
And this is why we send in the army.
Yes. GG.
Yeah.. not so much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_England#Private-sector_medical_care "lesser set of services" "subcontract" ...yeah.
We could let "the market" decide - but health care is very far from an ideal free market.
You almost had it there... but then you lost it.
Why not just remove current regulation of the insurance market and watch prices drop?

Woosh.
It's not like enemy combatants are monsters.
Enemy combatants who don't wear a uniform or other identifying marks are terrorists.
As such, pretending that they deserve the due process of the law is laughable.
Except for that little part where he didn't actually kill anyone.
New York Times? Fair? Hah! For a second I thought you were actually serious.
Actually, many groups and politicians have proposed making gun manufacturers liable for crimes committed with their product.
Hypocrisy doesn't make it any less wrong, or give him less of a right to criticize it.
