Re: rofl Everybody knows that Canada is light-years better than the US in terms of broadband access. Why? it's socialized. All you people against all forms of deregulation of non-competitive industry get what you deserve. There's nothing wrong with regulating, even socializing an otherwize monopolistic business. Plus, notice what all the heroic stories of community activism are all about, socializing their cable. They all pay far less in cable rates and have a far better system. Can anybody give me an example of a city, state, or country owned cable system that isn't both cheaper an better than the current monopoly systems? |

| Way to go, spin my comment.
I never said we should socialize the nation. Canada isn't a socialized nation. However, people shouldn't be afraid of socializing industries that are clearly anti-competitive and won't ever change, like cable and telco. |

The system here is much better... you never see those anti-competive behaviours that the telcos have down there. I guess the US government will eventually learn that everything isn't just black and white... you have to allow for regulation in some cases. |

Do you know the geographical location and capitals of the nations you just mentioned?
Or you just learned of those from the news feeds you and most Americans get their education from.
Some of the nations in Europe are socialist. Can you tell me which, without using the search button or looking in the book.
How about making a comparison between US health care (where available) and the health care in developed socialist country.
You have 5 min. and these are not multiple choice questions;0)
Do you know what happened when you don't control your corporations?
Have you heard of the "state within a state" concept.
