I don't think my first one was too bad??<br/><br/>Matthew is British. He dreams of the day that he can enslave the US population under the same type of single-payer healthcare nightmare that he left behind in the UK. Unfortunately, unlike him, his British compatriots are still suffering under the crushing weight of a faceless government run single-payer system. Additionally, as a consultant, he hopes to handsomely profit from the implementation of such a draconian system in the US. Here is a revised comment that hopefully will not be removed.

In the second you just have to bend over and take it from the big boy and can't do anything about it.<br/><br/>It is like the diffence between being screwed by an employer, and being a slave. Neither is defensible, but the later is not an advisable remedy to the former.

That's the dumbest thing I've read in along time. You still have Mom and apple pie to bash if you want to.
