I think you might be a wee bit paranoid. I\'m not sure where your coming from so it\'s hard to see your point of view.

I almost fully agree with you on this one...but I do think that some of what our govt does is for our benefit.

Well if your saying that the government should be more prevalent in our lives then I could not disagree with you more.

That might be true but a lot of people come to this country because we have the best hospitals and schools. I don\'t see too many people running to Canada for heart operations.

The answer is not to stick the governments nose in every aspect of our lives, but to allow the free market to do it\'s thing.

I guess it\'s all where your standing when you look at this subject.

I pay quarterly taxes so I am no fan of the government raising my taxes.

Free?  Again, it\'s egocentric and reductionalist.  I live in Canada, Everything I make gets taxed at a rate of about 40-45%.  Then whenever I buy anything, I get taxed again at 15%.  When I cash my RRSPs, they\'ll get taxed another 15% (that\'s already taxed income getting taxed again).

You say Canada has free healthcare, I say I more than pay for it. Thanks.

I paid $2000-2500 for education.  Sure it\'s a little cheaper, but you can take you degree anywhere, nobody has heard (or cares)about any university in Canada with the exception of perhaps Toronto.  Plus all that tax I pay doesn\'t hurt either.

Oooookay...

Getting back on topic...

mm...

Yes, I know Sega makes PC games. DUH!!!

I meant Sega makes games for the PC that are already available for consoles. They are not really a PC developer like Blizzard or Sierra.

They\'re all ports. Can you name one Sega PC game thats not available on a console?

:fro:

If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
