You ask how private healthcare in the US caused "on-going economic or social disaster." I give you: The War on Drugs. Enforcement of Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 was a response to an outcry by privatized healthcare and the insurance industry. And increased drug use, as a response to lack of access to privatized healthcare, including appropriate psychological assistance OR completely stupid application of pharmaceuticals, has ruined the economy and society. Don't start arguments you can't win.

By paying taxes, you're supporting somebody's terrorists. Cue flames.

I'd except that argument, if the bastard didn't make it nearly impossible for the average American to find a copy of the Original, non-edited/revised/updated Star Wars. Everyone's a critic, and George Lucas doesn't even like Star Wars.

Being that there are many reasons to post things, and to post anonymously, "funny" isn't always the primary intent. What was my primary intent? If you don't know, don't worry about it, and withhold comment. :) Besides, you're not a boor, and I didn't say something funny... But it's possible I might say something funny.
