Submission + - Former Microsoft Exec to Lead HealthCare.gov 2

Antipater writes: NBCNews reports that Kurt DelBene, former head of Microsoft's Office division, will take over operations of Healthcare.gov on Wednesday.

DelBene will replace Jeffrey Zients, who stepped in to lead the team fixing the health insurance website when it crashed and burned on its Oct. 1 launch. Zients is set to take over next month as senior White House economic adviser from Gene Sperling.

Who ate your goat? The comment was about showing the numbers and disproving a statement. It had nothing to do with TFA and the rest of your rant. Facts, by definition cannot have a "version". If it depends on interpretation, it's not a fact but a theory or worse, a guess. I can't disagree with how you feel about the legislation in question because I don't have THOSE facts, therefore I cannot develop a proper opinion on THAT subject. The last paragraph of your post makes you look a bit deranged...

I don't think it's a matter of lack of testicles. It's just ignorance (in its literal meaning, not in a derogatory way). You can't desire what you don't know. People are left in a constant state of ignorance and follow a few corrupt "leaders" like a herd of sheep. This is not exactly different from just about every other place on the planet, it's just that you are so big and influential, the consequences affects us all.

No one is "selling" us a point of view. We are perfectly capable of forming one all by ourselves. We, at least here in Europe, have access to not only all your news networks as well as for networks from a lot of other places (which you don't nor care about). From here you look like a theocratic state not that different from the Taliban, where religion dictates what people can and cannot do. The voices of reason get completely drowned but wacko rhetorics, which are against reason, science and facts. And people THERE actually buy it! Just look at Sarah Palin and her following. Who is being sold what? You used to have a lot of very cleaver people able to accomplish amazing things but these are becoming less and less while the rest of the world has left you far behind. The fact you don't look outside explains it. I will bet you (you I mean generally) can't name a single European politician or a single political issue in any country in Europe. You more likely can't as you don't read anything other than English. Before telling us we are being sold, just think about what you really know about us.
