It may not fit perfectly, but they'll adapt their concepts when given new information and facts.<br /><br />These Conservatives (and Republicans) believe that while their opponents are busy studying reality (to come up with better solutions), they can rush forwards and create their own reality. And their opponents will be stuck with it.<br /><br />It's true that they can do so, but only because modern society is so rich, and only for a time. Eventually all the slack and surpluses of resources both visible (ex energy/cheap oil) and invisible (ex trust) of society that they don't realize that they're using get used up. Society starts to collapse. Reality always gets the last word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-35531442905078756342011-12-21T12:08:03.549-05:002011-12-21T12:08:03.549-05:00Sounds like Chretien/Martin on steroids.

With respect to the health accord, little are focusing on the fact that the intent of the Act is to ensure equal access to quality health care across the country. Usually that meant setting agreed to bench marks and hammering out required services. The Harper Government™ has left that off the table and given the provinces free reign to deliver whatever they want.<br /><br />This definitely opens the door for two tier, privatized medicine.<br /><br />Which brings me to something that is not being examined at all. Even if we get these clowns out of office eventually, our NAFTA commitments will probably make it impossible to ever resurrect 100% public health care (or even the single desk marketing of wheat).Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-15798511044174869192011-12-20T12:13:13.802-05:002011-12-20T12:13:13.802-05:00A world created by plodding dullards with shrivell...A world created by plodding dullards with shrivelled souls, imposed upon the rest of us by a sick system.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-89437729586773691622011-12-20T11:16:01.655-05:002011-12-20T11:16:01.655-05:00Gerry Caplan had a piece in last weekend's Glo...Gerry Caplan had a piece in last weekend's Globe, thwap, in which he claimed that the Harperites suffer from the same disease which infected the second Bush administration: they truly believe that they can create their own reality.<br /><br />The situation would be funny, if it weren't so serious.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
