        @SailFree you clearly are ignorant. Hong Kong has a 2 tier universal health. So with Obamacare you have it better! Get out of your box.

        @vgr85 Your point is irrelevant. Mine is that allowing unfettered democracy is a recipe for societal and national collapse.

        @SailFree it's ironic that you are criticizing "unfettered democracy" when someone else seeks it. yet you crave more freedom for yourself.
