<p>I agree 100% of the people being offened crap. If you don’t like it, just ignore it!</p>
<p>How about people complaining, but then not offering a solution? Sure its easy to say: free health care and higher education for everyone. But notice these same people never have a solution how to pay for all of this. Futhermore, these same people would be against getting rid of choosing which doctor or college you went to, but that would be inevitable if free college and healthcare were on the table. Plus the reason everyone loves American health care and education is that there is competition and innovation. You take these two factors out of the mix, then the system declines, and we lose out. I agree that something needs to be done to get more revenue, and reduce HC and education costs, (tax organic foods, used clothes tax, increase fines on illegal music downloads) but making them free is and will never be the answer.</p>
<p>aids in the black community…and in all communities for that matter. the issue is ridiculously underplayed in the us. there was a special on primetime yesterday about it that was really interesting. aids is the leading cause of death in black women and 68% of women who have aids are black.</p>
<p>Well that sounds like a racial problem does it not? Where are the black leaders stepping up? AIDS is super overblown in this country if you ask me. When less than one half of one percent of people have something, it is not an epidemic.</p>
<p>AIDS is overblown in the worldwide scene too. Lets see, about 50 million have AIDS worldwide. The most conservative estimate is 300 million for malaria, and mostly in Africa. Malaria kills about at least a million a year, so lets do the math. Since DDT was banned in the 60s, 45 years have elapsed. If you want to save black lives, use DDT again.</p>
<p>Iostream, my problems with those two things are mainly because of money and quality. </p>
<p>As far as quality of education goes (don’t feel like going into everything), would they offer higher education to absolutely everyone (therefore wasting TONS of money on people that shouldn’t be there in the first place…and dragging others down)? Or…would they have to raise standards of admission so they can afford to pay for all the people in college (therefore leaving a lot of qualified students out)? We’re all aware of the problems public schools are facing…so why extend those issues into higher education?</p>
