This is a nation with SOCIALIST medicine: 


SOCIALISED =/=SOCIALIST
and, just to be absolutely clear,
SOCIALIZED =/= SOCIALIST

Please feel free to print this out and distribute it if you find yourself listening to the sort of people that have seen me screaming at the news coverage all week.

I swear, if I was an American and some of the Libertarian loonies leading 'community' concerns came to my door, I would scream: 'COMMUNIST CONCERNS?? AIEEEEE! Fetch me the shotgun, Fido! Time to shoot me some trespassing Reds!'

Admittedly, this raises the questions why an American me would have a dog trained in gun fetching, and speak like Christopher Walken taking the piss, but let's just move on.

Ignorance seems to be contagious.

Sheep. That's what people are. And I pinpoint the ignorance to the moment the republican party hitched their wagons to likes of Jerry Falwell... I suppose that's another argument, but it is the birthplace of blind, uninformed/misinformed outrage from the "regular" folks.

That and Faux Fox News.

I just can't believe they're the regular folks, though. To my mind, you are regular folks. I feel convinced that most Americans are normal and think, you're just not very loud ...
