The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

OMG, you must be a terror to that teacher. I love it!
I had the misfortune on both flights last week of sitting in front of liberal teachers. I was lucky that I didn't start a riot on the plane.

Yes, last week, she started to go on and on about Social Medicine, and I let her go on and on, carefully letting her set the trap, when she got to the inadequacies(she may be liberal, but not blindly so, and she usually shows the bad points) due to limited Medical resources, I said
But if we remove the Capital incentive from practicing medicine, wouldnt we also have a dearth of medical resources....Another abrupt subject change...
