| Cherokee County is about 90mi/144km away from me. Most of us was hoping this b-turd would go down in a hail of gunfire. Three killings occured about 1 or 2 miles from my co-worker's house. All of the killings are tragic, but the father and 15yo daughter both getting killed was a shame. The girl had ... |

| True, it is not free, but at least the load is spread out a bit better. It is easier to cough up a few tax dollars here and a few tax dollars there than trying to save the money up before a proceedure or trying to dig out after an unexpected one. There is no gaurantee that the government plan would ... |

Never will forget a Johnny Carson joke about the fine Pinto. He said that if California was a car it would be the Pinto; it was always shaking, having pieces falling off or catching on fire.  |

| I agree that the malpractice suits are a huge problem. I have nothing against someone sueing for a just cause, but the cost of the frivolous ones and the huge awards for some are rediculous. And, like you said, we have a bunch of lawyers making laws that only lawyers can understand and putting in lo... |

| Had a '94 F150 for 13 years. Finally sold it when the family outgrew it. Never had a single breakdown. Only had to have an exhaust check-valve replaced once and a set of tires. Bought a '05 Yukon and love it (needed a 6-seater). First non-Ford in my family. Ford's quality really has improved the las... |

| ]If you don't want the doctors taken away from the government funded hospitals (thus paid less) to private healthcare, you have to. It's what happened in Canada, the money-driven doctors went to the US because they can make more... You make it sound like the doctors are bad for wanting to earn more... |

| If they are wanting to revive a media, bring back vinyl! 8-tracks were crap! Vinyl will always be better than anything else. I hate CD's. Can't beat the rich tones of a good record! |

| I am an American, my wife is Canadian; therefore I have a pretty good understanding of the way both systems work. The primary problem with the Canadian system is actually a result of the American system. Too many of Canada's talented doctors have come to the US to make more money because we have the... |
