Is it illegal to self-pump in your state? I forget where you live, but I know in NJ it's illegal to pump your own gas. I didn't like that, because one time we were in a hurry and we had this slow ass Muslim guy who took FOREVER. He walked like 3 feet/hr.

(Yes, NJ) Yeah but whatever.  I'd rather be a bit late for something then get out in non 65-72°F, sunny weather to pump my damn gas when I can have some guy do it for me.

On a side note, the lowest gas price I saw when I was driving around today was $2.96 :)

That's pretty good.  The lowest I've seen in a while is ~$3.20 a gallon.

Canada gets free health care and doesn't pay for war or the side effects of terrorist attacks.

Stop complaining. (Not that I'd ever want government sponsored health care, mind you.)

We do pay for side effects of terrorist attacks.  Anything that affects the US tends to affect us more. 

Government sponsored healthcare is great for the average person, since it saves us a lot of money in the long run (even though it takes longer).  But if you're rich, or have a rich family, or a good job where they give you a health plan, then you're better off with the American system.

I disagree, with government sponsored health care you can only go to ones where the government says you can (meaning, most likely, the cheapest) and it could be detrimental. I'm all for privitization of health care (and other things.)

Is Katrina affecting you guys?

Because all healthcare here is government-provided, it means that there aren't any non-government facilities. 

Yes, Katrina is affecting us..  Why do you think we're paying nearly $5/gallon for gas?

Because you get free health care.

Why isn't there an option for a privatized health care firm?

The price of oil is an international price http://www.bloomberg.com/energy/  The prices differ due to taxes and such.  The oil isn't what we need though its actual gas.  There is an abundance of oil comming out of the ground, but a refinery hasn't been made in the US since 1975.

Because then people who couldn't afford good healthcare would get, as you said, the cheapest one.
