  1. Argus is the third "top" poster quantity-wise here!
  2. Unemployed surgeons could operate at affordable prices.
  3. The very first Western states were city-states. Potlatch was very much like our diplomatic Summits.
  4. While the surgeons are operating them, they are not operating other persons.
  5. And also, the rich Canadians who go to the US for expensive life-saving operations are responsible for the premature death of poor Americans.
  6. An obligatory social gift and a tax differ relatively to the concept of reciprocity. The reciprocity in between a state and its citizens is not at all the same as the one in between two states.
  7. Taxing home/condo sales instead of subsidizing them would have allowed us to eschew the mortgage mess.
  8. For natives, the gifts were done in between different tribes or nations. In others words, a potlatch is an international event; consumption taxation is, for us westerners, mainly a national or sub-national event.
  9. A rational person who is tempted to jump in to blaming the Muslims would welcome Muslims into Canada to verify and explore deeper his primary reaction.
  10. Clearly, Canada is not safeguarded of sharing world's problems and it is important it stays like this until these problems receives a solution.
  11. Stupidity is the surest way to atheism.
  12. A tax is not a gift.
  13. It is not odd because the Bible is a much longer and difficult reading than the Qur'an. One develops more intelligent ways to live when he is forced to read books like the Bible.
  14. If Christian cultures show less violence than Muslim cultures, it is only because Christ was more violent (through Paul) than Mohamed.
  15. The Qur'an asks for infidels to be killed but Christians, who believe Jesus is God, are wrongly accused by Muslims to be such infidels.
