Freedom? No. Forced, my foot. Force is when someone puts a gun to your head to bail out a ne're-do-well, probably an illegal Mexican. > Some things should be left to the market, like who owns a Ferrari and what the > price of a pound of potatoes are, but who does and does not receive medical > care? No thanks. There are some things more important than "market forces". So food, shelter and clothing ought to taxpayer provided, too? ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
