    Living in a country with cameras on every corner spying on its citizens, with a medical system controlled by bean counters that decides who lives and dies, it is no wonder you feel this way. Your government has you under its thumb. Sing along with Mick: "Under its thumb, the government has me down..."

    More ignorance Brian.

    So a lot of city centres have CCTV cameras so that if you are assaulted you can get a conviction. That's taking rights away from scum muggers. What exactly do you do when you are wandering about the shops or bars at night that you don't want filmed? Who gives a fuck? You are in a public place.

    Your fucking government now allows the tapping of phones without even a warrant!

    You can have private health insurance in the UK if you want. I'd rather my tax money went on Healthcare than crazy corrupt defence procurements.

    Also when I get ill I don't want to have to rely on an insurance company not deciding to rip me off on some small print clause when I'm at my most vunerable. More importantly if my kids get ill I get world class treatment for them with no limits and I don't have to worry about having to lose my house.

    My friend from Virginia's insurance company suddenly decided that it wouldn't pay for speech therapy even for stroke victims, nearly bankrupted him until eventually after 5 years of lawyers getting rich a class action beat them.

    Don't preach to me about healthcare in the US.

    The US was independantly rated as having the 25th best healthcare in the world. That's a fucking disgrace.

    Cheers!

          Elvis Louisiana from everything I've read and seen seems to be a fucking hellhole of nightmare government and police.

          Why did you ever move there?

          I wouldn't even visit it.

            When I get out of school, I'm outta here...

            I daydream of living and retiring in the southwest United States, possibly Arizona or New Mexico...

            I'm leaving tuesday morning for a 33 day vacation starting at the north rim of the Grand Canyon and sort of zig zagging throughout the southwestern states...

              And it's probably actually worse than you read...

              Why did you ever move there?

              My parents lived here when I moved back in with them to attend nursing school in 1988...

              I wouldn't even visit it.

              New Orleans and certain parts of South Lousy-ana are worth visiting, I think...

                I wanted to go to New Orleans a few years ago but chatting online to you on MSN or whatever about the cops and stuff put me off a bit.

                Then after the whole Katrina thing and everything else means I would only go there if it was for work. Not because of the weather but the whole fucked upness.

                I didn't realise your folks were down there, I thought they were in up in the NW.

                Cheers!

                  Well, hopefully New Orleans will evolve into much better place than it was pre-Katrina, but I think the money will grow legs and walk away...
