What country was that? Are you talking about Georgia? Who?

I've yet had anyone in person explain to me that we are no longer land of the free and home of the brave because of this. Surprisingly everyone is shocked at the question and didn't see past the word 'Free" as in "Free Beer'.
I did have someone tell me on another site that we are more free today than we were yesterday. I could only advise him not to become wealthy as he would become a legal enemy of the state and ripe for the taking. Unless of course the government takes over your industry and says your exempt if you do what they tell you. Then you are insulated like the HMO's and you can pee on anyone you like.
The scary part is that was the highest on the intelligence scale I could get for an opposing view. To repeat the rest would only inflame everyone.

Are you talking about health care? You couldn't briefly explain why this bill does so much damage?
