Didn't offend me in the least - but then - I live with socialized health care - an imperfect system but a starting point.

I completely agree with you about legalization of some of the lesser vices - it's time that the heads and hookers start paying their share too. And you're right on - preventative care is less costly.

But good luck trying to sell it down there - I understand there's quite a bit of resistance. And personally I don't mind in the least the number of US born friends that have been coming up here for prescriptions and babies and stuff.
