As of yesterday we have a new government.
Hope this means we can still be friends

Sensible people know Conservative in power don't help the health or the education of the people, so my money's on about 50% of the people thunk it.

Yes, all conservatives like me are heartless killing machines who wish to see the end of humanity, lol.
Question: Which do you appreciate more Kal -earning something or having it given to you?
Therein lies the very fundamental difference between a "conservative" and a "socialist".

The view of individualism, or the view of a collective, that is the fundamental difference between a "conservative", and a "socialist".
Question: What would happen if you became seriously handicapped?
How would you pay for your children to go to college, health bills, etc.
I leave with a thought you are stronger together than you are apart.

Amen. I can't stand the fact that my state gets 55 cents in federal funding back for every dollar we send to Washington. Goddamn welfare states advocating wealth redistribution. If they can't be self reliant on their own, perhaps we should redefine borders.

The government doesn't exist to provide "health"....the government exists to regulate how "health" is administered.
The government doesn't exist to "educate"---it exists to ensure that standards are met through the educational process. Your "sensible" *new* ideals (neo-socialists and neo-communists) and the people who "thunk them" often ended up in gulags, in front of firing squads, or enslaved, giving all they had to an out-of-control government...all throughout asia and eastern Europe. Government doesn't exist to provide for people...care for people (except those people who cannot care for themselves (orphans, mentally ill, physically handicapped). Everyone else is 100% responsible for their own lives, their own health, their own education...in short...their own EVERYTHING.
Simply taking from those who have things/money and forcibly redistributing them to those who do not...or who refuse to go and work is pretty similar to a street thug mugging you at gunpoint...there's nothing moral about it.

Yeah, but only in a perfect world does everyone have the same opportunities.

NY could become an imperialistic state and invade the south and midwest imposing their liberal-terrorist-loving will on all the good patriots!
The horror, the horror.

Talk about a neat-o Civil War reenactment minus, of course, that pesky fact that NY would forget to bring any armaments because of their current gun regulations.

This is the way the world ends; not with a bang but a reach-around.

I'm pretty happy. Wanted to get rid of Howard at the last elections. I just hope Rudd has the balls to stop Japan hunting hump backs, bring the lads home from Afghanistan and not lose control of inflation.

With regards to what the Government is responsible for... AFAIC it's responsible to ensure that a country can grow and evolve and it can't do that if it doesn't assume a certain amount of responsibility with regards to it's populations health, safety and education. You can't expect your population to be involved in invention and research into sciences if they can't read or write. The better the education at an early age the more opportunities can be afforded and the more benefits to the country as a whole. It's not rocket science really! The same can be said for housing, public transport, health just about everything.
I am responsible for my own life, health and education but that doesn't mean I don't have a certain amount of responsibility to my community and the country as a whole and nor should it. I'm not a country of 1 and I don't wanna be!
