This is an advertisement for my new site swanky. And since I am not a part of the tiki community, having never contributed to this forum before or helped start any events, and since I put it in the most high traffic forum rather than the one most relevent to it, you're right, it is just spam.

Regarding the age comment, yes I am an idealistic med student in my 20's, and am very familar with the Churchill quote to the effect of "if you're not a socialist in your 20's you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative in your 40's you have no brain" or something to that effect, as I have been told that by rich doctors before. I don't think you guys in California know what rich doctors are, I don't think the opportunities for greed are so fast as they are here. But we have them in Alabama, and If I meet one more pathologist with a private jet, limosine, and yacht, or vascular surgeon with several vacation homes and daughters in swiss boarding schools, I'm going to puke. They aren't even 3% of the problem though - it's the insurance companies that are actually massing the immense quantities of profit from people's pain and hardship, without even having anything directly to do with relieving it, they are just banks. Anyway, I'm a socialist because I support universal healtchare and free merit-based education. And there are plenty of 40-somethings who agree with me. The largest party in the new European Parliament is, guess who? Socialist. And in case you had any doubt, Britain's ruling Labour party is part of it.
