Thanks for taking the time to let me know that, dingoespain. I was somewhat surprised at the reaction of that other poster since the post he considered a rant wasn't even directed at him.
I'm a fairly new poster here but I don't plan to push that ignore button unless someone is abusive or threatening in some way. IMO, the whole point of a message board is to share different opinions and outlooksif we're only here to pat each other on the back it'll get boring pretty fast. So feel free to agree or disagree that's what it's all about. -

Just my two cents as a Canadian:
Our socialized health care system worked quite well before it was gutted during a relatively recent administration. It was quite laudable when it was properly funded with a fair system of checks and balances. This is probably true for any sector of society, ergo it follows that socialized health care isn't necessarily better or worse than privatized health care. It is simply vastly dependent upon the priority it is given by its adjudicating government.
We're workin' on ours again. Perhaps it'll regain its former prestige.
Back to the point, regardless of the speculation on the cause of it, I regret Mr. Minghella's passing. He was a gifted storyteller, and he will be missed.Rancorr Blackmane, Freeblade.

It will be interestimg to see how it works out, rancorr, We can all learn from each other's mistakes and maybe some day find the perfect solution for all.
And yes, Mr. Minghella's talents will be sorely missed.
