Oh, where to start...

Paul, I disagree with you on the healthcare system in the US. I have lived in four countries and I'll take healthcare in this country over any other. That includes the UK where I lived for almost four years moving back here last summer. I lived in central London and found the treatment options and timing to be horrific. We came back to the US for anything more than basic treatment.

Chuck, I read that article this morning and I thought it raised some great questions and gave me some things to consider that I hadn't thought of before.

James, I don't even know what to say to you, your reaction was bizzarre. I followed the whole Gordon Brown rise to power and was bewildered. Most people in the US (I'll put on my flame proof suit now) would have traded George Bush for Tony Blair in a second and you guys allowed him to be replaced by Mr. personality. I still cared about the issues. Still followed the debate and tried to understand the positions. It's not my country, but still a world power that makes decisions that impact more than your borders.

Rick, my wife and I were discussing what he could possibly have gotten and how he got it that made it worth $5k...please don't answer that!
