Of course he lies when he says there's opposition to health care reform (or, more correctly, disease management). Most people do want rational reform, and that means putting the foot on the necks of his lawyer-vulture buddies and the unions, and encouraging competition across state lines, not "reform" via socialism.

So far, I've yet to meet one person who has had the swine flu. I've met a couple of people who claim they had it, but no tests were performed by their doctors to prove that it wasn't common flu.

So how far down into the earth does a country go? Is it OK for one country to tunnel under another country at the subterranean border?

My Camry was made in Kentucky, unlike most "American" cars that were made in Canada or Mexico or Brazil.

Ho hum! Yet another silly little trinket from apple.

I say we take back the hijacked word "gay" and start using it again in it's original meaning. That'll confuse the hell out of 'em.

Well it would be silly to believe you, an unknown poster and armchair traveller with no personal experience or knowledge, and only anectodal "evidence" that you claim is factual. You obviously have your own agenda and you certainly won't let the truth get in the way of it. I would venture to guess that your "college educated first hand witness" has the same agenda. You are the kind of person that the term "Ugly American" was coined for. Please stay out of foreign countries because you will only bring embarassment to the rest of us. BTW, my wife taught English in China for 20 years.

Well, I'm only going to answer in one of your replies. You've accused me of lying and since I haven't that makes you a liar. Yes, I have family there and we travel without fear. As in any country, only lawbreakers need fear.

You talk about one city, as though that one city represents the entire country; very shortsighted.

Fact is, you get all your info from questionable second-hand sources and I get mine from actual experience. You can provide links to those sources, but I can't provide links to my experience. It matters not to me.

240 days of blue sky is current, not several decades ago.

I know your question was rhetorical, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and answered it as though it was a serious question. I guess you didn't catch that.

And where did I say that.

I am from a leftist dictatorship rathole. I live in the USA. If you think it's that much better here, you are severely deluded.
