It's an amazing film...I loved every minute of it.

Take note (in the first half) of the studies in leadership styles among the main characters. Some emotional intelligence expert will be using this film to teach one day...

Your positive review of Swedish healthcare seems to ignore the fact that you didn't get treated for your illness because the system was prioritizing certain types of people over others. If you believe in a socialized approach, shouldn't everyone have access to all available treatment?
- Ryan Kaisoglus
To prioritize someone based on medical necessity is, in my opinion, justified AND with the greater good in mind. My illness wasn't life-threatening and didn't require treatment, so I don't believe I should've received treatment for it. Under a less-sufficient plan, a pregnant woman would've gotten turned away before me because she didn't have the correct bureaucratic small print or wasn't as profitable for an insurance company as I was.

When i'm as sick as you were, I could give a rip about the greater good ;-) You might find this article, 'How I Got Well in India for $50', interesting - http://www.salon.com/news...

The flu is the flu. It's a common illness that hundreds of thousands get each year with a very high survival rate that, like every other illness, is over medicated, particularly for otherwise healthy people. As far as I'm concerned, only the people that need to medicated for the reasons of survival for it should be medicated for it.

Ugh...I'm having serious friendfeed problems. :/ but it's a good discussion worth discussing in person! we need to catch up soon...
- rommy
Yep - and yet we keep electing the same people from the same parties...tacitly agreeing with and encouraging them to continue screwing things up for us. The biggest problem with democracy is that the idiots will always outnumber the smart people.
- Ryan Kaisoglus
Yeah, we really do need to catch up. Wish I was coming over there with Kavita...but, as she'll tell you, i've got a rather big (government-related...imagine that) problem i'm dealing with here.

I randomly find myself humming this song sometimes. I've also been known to be sitting somewhere and say "go go gadget arm" in hopes that it will extend and get me the thing I need. It hasn't happened yet though. :(

I used to LOVE Inspector Gadget. I'm pretty much not playing this video right now only because I will get the song stuck in my head for days if I do. :)

I have semi trained (for lack of a better word) the guy I'm seeing that if I say "go go gadget arm" and he is closer to something then he will get it for me. And now he does it too. It's fun :)

Nice work Tamara. I wonder if I can get that to work on Kevin. hmmm...

Jandy, join the club!! I'm pretty sure that inspector gadget will creep his way into my feed several times over the next few days for exactly the reason that the song will be stuck in my head for quite a while!!

I just can't believe that Penny never figured out that her uncle was a ROBOT!
