compnerd99 Atlanta, GA age: 27	Do they really serve tea at those events, or is it just a 'figure-head term'? And it would be really funny if you took a leak in the pool. Tell Obama to get a load of that! [Edited 9/12/2009 8:57:41 AM PST]

While you're there maybe you can count all those attending who are on Medicare/Medicaid or who have their children on PeachCare. Isn't it at least a little bit interesting that the US with “the best health care in the world,” is ranked 50th in the world by life expectancy (LE Index)(78.11 yrs), just edging out Albania (77.96 yrs). After all the LE Index was, until recently, the single measure of the quality of a country's health care system. A ranking that is far surpassed by the other industrialized countries of the world. Countries that all have some form of universal/single payer health coverage. Canada, that bastion of “failed” socialized medicine is 8th (81.23 yrs).

bobean1113 Hampton, GA age: 54	It was awesome, the crowd was respectful, except for the one jerk in the train, he kept yelling OBAMA, and after about 3 times Al started yelling SUCKS behind him....it was funny. Al is awesome!! There were alot of funny signs....one of the best was a picture of Pelosi that read...time to send NANA to the home. The place was even clean, I only saw a couple of pieces of paper on the ground by the end of it. I am so happy to have been a part of this! GOD BLESS AMERCICA [Edited 9/12/2009 2:46:15 PM PST]

Hey jackass, data can be interpolated any way to prove one's point. When using UN data, of course our life expectancy looks worse. Is that what the CIA is using? That also accounts for all of the thugs murdering each other, etc... Why is it when you see some world leader with a life threatening illness, most likely they are coming here for treatment? We have the best trained medical staff in the world. The problem with our medical care is that the guv'ment got it's hands in the cookie jar years ago and made people use a middle man where graft and corruption rules the day. You might want Cuba-style "universal" healthcare. As for me, I'll keep my health insurance, with it's faults, that I have through my place of employment.

While I may be a jackass and possibly something much worse, in my previous post I did my best to hide that fact by refusing to engage in such petty name-calling. To paraphrase Mark Twain, it's best for an idiot to keep their mouth shut and leave others to wonder, than to open it and remove all doubt. I was using CIA ratings, so any organizational bias would be “pro” US. UN ratings are even less flattering.

bobean1113 Hampton, GA age: 54	This video is the closest I have seen to what this was like....Al and I stopped on the way home yesterday at a BK in North Carolina, there were other people there that had been to the rally, a couple from Alabama with a baby and a family group from Charlotte....from them we heard that the trains in DC carried 2.5 million people on Saturday!!

I was using CIA ratings, so any organizational bias would be “pro” US. UN ratings are even less flattering. Im not going to say "jackass" or anything else. But the paper says the freedom to "persue happiness" NOT the freedom for the government to hand you everything on a silver platter. Witch is what the Dems want to do. They say everybody deserves healthcare I say NO THEY DONT its not the governments job to see that everybody is taken care of with kiddy fingers if you dont have health care its your own damn fault you diddnt get any. there are all kinds of health care plans out there you wanna say well "I cant afford it" I say "Why Not" you say "because Im Poor" I say "Who`s fault is that" you went to school just like everybody else did you just chose to do nothing with it. You will say "But I diddnt go to college" I say "Who`s fault is that" there are plenty of grants and loans out there to go to college you just chose not to take advantage of them. The government only has 2 jobs....1) to build a milatary so no other country can attack us & 2) to make sure in everyday buisness everybody is playing fair. nothing more and nothing less. You have the right to become the biggest richest MF in the world and you have the right to be a bum. But because you have chosen to make nothing with your life dont ask the tax payers to help you out. the dems think everybody gets something and if I bust my a and make something out of my life the dems think they can take part of my hard earnd money and give it to someone who layed on his a and did nothing. Just like the story of the ant and the grasshopper,The ant busted his a** all summer long and when the grasshopper asked him why he was working so hard the ant said "because winter is comming and I need to be prepaird" well the grasshopper just laughed at him and went about with his playing and foolin around. Well when winter came the grasshopper froze and starved to death as the ant ate good and was warm. the Dems think the grasshoppers all need a hand out. I say let `em starve!!!!!!

fosplicer Hiram, GA age: 48	from the coverage and the crowd estimites looks like it was a pretty good turn out some of the estimites were as high as 3 million people. A very cool thing, My question is how do we get more people involved ? how do we maintain the momentum? Will real change be effected from where it needs to start? ( in my opinion local, state the then the federal) The federal government has three main duties, standing military for national defense, build roads, make treaties with foriegn governments, which are then ratified by the states. everything else should and does fall in the relm of the state to screw up as they see fit. just my humble opinion.

fosplicer Hiram, GA age: 48	one of the cool signs I saw on the fox coverage was a picture of George Washington with a cartoon ballon by his head that said WTF? I almost had root beer coming out of my nose. Just a quick comment on the health care debate, I think what is needed is tort reform, figuring out some way to limit the LAWYERS with the outragous awards, that they take up to 40 percent of (just the way John Edwards made his millions) Again it's a personal choice whether you want to take care of yourself and your family and pay for health insurance or roll the dice and spend the money on something else. The people who argue that once the government won't limit or ration health care are to quote my buddy Al "Nuttier than squirrel shit". there is not a resource on this planet that is limitless, by allowing the individual to decide we put the responsibility where it belongs, with the individual, who decides how he or she wants to spend his resourses. Hey if your priority is on something else go for it, you have no "right" to health care (not mentioned anywhere in the constitution the last time I checked) Again I'll get back down off my soap box,

pentopaper Calhoun, GA age: 42	The best sign I seen said "Ill Keep my freedom ....You Keep Your Change"!!!!

suzukiridergirl Cleveland, GA age: 49	Well I've lived in a country with national healthcare. The people looked miserable and weighted down with the government,taxes,high cost of living,etc...and I didnt even know about national healthcare til then. Many hung out in bars and were alcoholics.Depressed,etc. I could think about the USA(then) and litterally smell FREEDOM!! There it was like a huge heavy black cloud hanging over 24/7. I dont want America to change. They can do something but not National Healthcare. Maybe a Insurance reform? And hey I was searching around on YouTube and I click on something that I hadnt heard of and didnt know what it was .....and it was all those people in DC protesting!! I thought ,dang ,that's awesome! LOL But did you guys know this has been going on all over the USA for awhile now? Heck,I didnt know til today!! (Yeah I work too many hours...dont keep in touch with stuff enough) And there are many more groups started now all over the USA.One being a huge biker group. I think its called Sons Of Liberty! Far Out!! [Edited 9/14/2009 10:04:05 PM PST]

suzukiridergirl Cleveland, GA age: 49	I think all this has given me hope! I think I got depressed when Obama became President.And wouldnt watch the news much like before...I didnt want to see or hear him! And I feel like Pen....I could see through Obama and could not understand how other people couldnt. But,some bad things turn into good outcomes. Maybe this is what it took for people to finally see things.And realize what they actually want and what the country actually needs. I shouldnt say it but how much worse could it get than Obama. To me it was like putting a 2nd grader in the white house. But,there needs to be alot more changes to take place than just the fact that somehow he got there and is doing what he's doing! BTW,there's lots of videos on YouTube of the great event on 9/12/09 in DC [Edited 9/14/2009 10:19:07 PM PST]
