Oh for the glorious day when we have a new man! A homo economus! The soviets tried to create a new man (homo sovieticus) to make their system suceed. It didn't work. Mankind will always be irrational - wasting time on internet bulletainboards, overanalyzing their existance and the financia

I'll be curious to see what American visitor numbers are at Whistler this year. They are currently among the most expensive resorts in N. America for a day ticket ($82 US at todays rate) and that price is only going to go up.

Is available and costs money. Your point is?

A serious injury or chronic condition can easily cost, post insurance payment, 10-20% of your pretax income for a moderate earner not counting loss of wages I did say that's where a lot of people seem to be today... Oh, I wasn't disagreeing, merely emphasizing.

I've found the premiums relatively constant between states of residency.

Here's a response from one of the people mentioned in Stossel's obtuse demagoguery. My favorite parts, for those too lazy to click links: In your 'reporting' of this story, you did not contact me, and you did not contact my husband's doctors. [. . .] Instead of calling me up and doing real reporting, all you can do is throw around studies from 1999 about the supposed inefficiency of bone marrow transplants for breast cancer patients - even though Tracy didn't have breasts. He had kidney cancer! [. . .] You are simply carrying water for the for-profit insurance industry that killed my husband. And then you have the nerve to accuse me of "sneering" about it. My husband has only been dead since January 18th, 2006. It is still fresh to me and my family, and comments like this are inhumane. I am surprised Fox "News" hasn't snatched up this "Murrow-with-a-moustache." I've recently become curious what portion of American consumer debt (excluding car and home) is medical expense related. 10% 5%? More

I'm just posting to say I don't give a shit either fucking way. It's cheaper to fly to Thailand, get four crowns, climb for a week and fly home then it is to pay for the same procedure in the US and thats after insurance covers 60%

you didn't hand him a bunch of random papers on the subject and run?

me too, I'll be at your place round about 9

Because it's the Lowest Common Denominator

I'm hoping to sail for the next ski/surf trip The only Co2 will come from my piehole!

I vote forced sterilizations for the vealpens of Tacoma

That's their fault for a) Living in E. Bumfuck b) Being poor they could easily change both in America if they'd get off their lazy XXL sweatpants cut for a woman asses.

smiling whores?

nice try. You do know the reason we backed out of our treaty with the russkies over starwars back in the early '00s? It required no installation in Alaska. Stevens & Murkowski had to have the base in Alaska to bring in the bacon.

i'd be willing to bet at least 90% of welfare recipients vote democrat. define "welfare" Alaska = second highest per capita federal spending = solidly red state It's the Louisiana of the Republican party. Underdeveloped and ridiculously corrupt.

Did you really expect anything else? He's the stirrer. The CC.com swizzlestick

In some internet sages blog.

I love living in a blue state. I pay federal taxes to fund the Welfare living red states like Alaska who then bitch about the government.

smoking and climbers would be problematic, yes

you suck like a lake city strip club

the ad copy needs to be more patagonish need something warm for the morning stroll back from the boy brothell in Sianoukhville? Our layton jacket is perfect for the pedophile on the prowl.
