politics, you sexy bitch

so. . . basically Harper and Layton want to do the same things. . . generally speaking. . . from what I can tell Harper is focusing a lot on prisons, and the army and Layton is focusing on family and education. What I don't understand is why Harper seems to think we need to protect our borders. . . I mean who the eff would invade Canada? we rock an everything but we aren't really the ones to be invaded. Also I do not like how, for lack of a better word, "American" Harper sounds about drugs. There is this crazy imaginary war on drugs. . . just leave it alone. There have always been drugs, there will always be drugs, the best thing to do is legalize a lot of it. why not?  especially Marijuana it would be a huge amount of money for the country, look at Amsterdam, I don't see the population going crazy for cocaine just because Marijuana is  legal. I am all for Layton. Firstly I just get a bad vibe from Harper. . . like if he were an animal he would be a diseased rat or something. Layton is a lot like a friendly chipmunk. Also from what I understand Harper wants to privatize health care. . .   I may be wrong about that one, still doing the research. Its hard to find sources that don't sound like legal babble, it sounds like we will do this if this is right but not that to make this right and if those both turn wrong this will turn right, not a solid statement, the other parties are just as bad. The last thing we should want, that anyone should want EVER is to have to pay for being sick, injured or having a baby. I don't want to live in financial fear because what if my baby gets sick and has to go to the hospital and once he is better we have to pay thousands of dollars? sounds lousy to me. I've also heard from my dear hubby that when health care costs us then our rates could go up depending on what you buy, there is a possibility that our receipt info could be sent to the companies providing us with health care coverage and then rates go up or down depending on how much "healthy" food you buy. . . . I'm all for being healthy and weight loss but that's a little nanny state for me.
