What planet are you on?!?!?! You need to turn Fox news off and buy a plane ticket. Take it from a person who HAS traveled. Every time I hear someone go off like that, it makes you look like you listen to Rush too much because the people living over there totally disagree. Take Chavez for example. He has been able to reduce poverty on a steady rate of 25% per year and has the popular support of the people (as much as Reagan did here). He has internationally supervised elections, freedom of speech, and the people have to approve any government actions through democratic elections. You know why Fox news hates Venezuela. Because it is a democracy that has not elected right wing nuts who only care about 'corporate interests'. In the sense of democracy, it is much more democratic than we are. Turn off Fox, they give a distorted and incorrect picture of the world. Simply put, you are factually incorrect.

And, btw, everyone I have spoken to a lot of people from Europe and they say that there are some problems with the health care, but they would NOT give it up for our system. And the only reason we don't have to wait here is because 1/4 of this nation is not allowed ANY health care. I would gladly wait an extra 15 minutes if it meant that all my neighbors had access too. But I understand that republicans have this superiority complex where they don't value all human life as equal (that is unless you are 3 cells big and living in a rape victims stomach).
