    I don't get it. Hillary, Barak and Dr. Dean want us to have a medical system like Europe's. Why do they want us to die?

        How can this be true?

        There MUST be a mistake.

        I mean, W Europe is so hip and cool and so far beyond the US in everything that matters.

        Say it ain't so, Joe.

        Please don't say that socialized medicine may not work. Please don't say that the smartest woman in the world might be wrong about universal guv'ment health care.

        Oh, woe is me. It's the end of the world. The sky is falling. It's the end of civilization. The barbarians are at the border and advancing. The Huns will soon take over. Save us, please.

        As good liberals, we can't possibly be wrong about health care, can we? I mean, we've never been wrong before, have we?
