Comment Re:I would play as aTaliban (Score 1) 671

Reminds me of my favourite way to play Battlefield 2: Special Forces:
  • play as the non-Western team
  • choose the Spec Ops class
  • cover a pickup truck or ATV with expacks
  • have accomplice drive vehicle while I wield the detonator from a crew position
  • start screaming slogans and push the button. Hilarity ensues.

As a Canadian, I haven't been paying too much attention to the fine details of the health insurance reforms. Reading the Wikipedia article, I can't find any mention of jail time, and the 'fines' are $95 or 1% of income, and can be waived in cases of financial hardship. Underwhelming. Anyway, 'the government taking over an industry' is what Bush did with GM to bail it out, or what Truman tried to do to the steel industry. Regulations != takeover.

basically no public outcry

I'm pretty sure there was a huge public outcry; the only things I really remember from Bush's first term were 9/11 and the ensuing invasions, and Scootergate (I was in grade school at the time, hence the not-remembering-much)

I interpreted your post as rhetorical questions for which the answer to both would be 'No'. Apparently that's the opposite of what you meant, though, so I'm sorry for my mistake.
