Did the "west" win WW2? I think many scholars disagree. Half of Europe was lost to Communist Russia. Millions of Judeo-Christian people were slaughtered by the Russians.This has nearly destroyed European Christianity. The Communist Europe has yet to recover. Communist Red China became a major global force and certainly controls southeast Asia. What did Roosevelt do, again?

Mike, contrary to the history that you may have learned via Hollywood, many AMERICAN and British historians believe we lost WW2. If you visited places like libraries or bookstores you may have garnered some of this info. Do you understand the basic facts that half of europe was subsequently enslaved by Russian Communists? And that they still or may never recover? Do you accept that Communist Russia murdered MILLIONS of Jews (or do they not count according to you?) Was the limited freedom of europe worth 500k US lives?(And trillions of US$). Was the rise and dominance of Communist NUCLEAR China in the vacuum left by defeated Japan a victory? Was the slaughter and starvation of milions of Chinese and Russians by the Communists a victory? Do you have friends or relatives that fought against Communist Russia only to be executed? Do you realize that many believe the terrorist threats around the world stem from Russian Communists/KGB? Some "victory"....

Yogurt, I agree totally that there is an obesity problem in the US and that it is essentially ignored. But at least there is some imperative to maintain health because some healthcare costs have to be covered by the patient. But imagine the US if NO personal expenditure on healthcare was required. It would definitely exacerbate the problem. And more great news: the FOX network demanded more commercial time from the MLB. Now, there will be even more time for the MLB fatasses to sit on the bench and "fight obesity".

Mike, to specifically answer your question: Yes I do have relatives that spoke against the totalitarian government and were executed. Slavery? which nation leads the way for slave reparations? Medical human experimentation? Pennsylvania prisons take the gold medal in the 1970's-plenty of human experimentation. Concentration camps? Communist Europe had plenty of them in post War2. Or do these prisoners not matter to you? Euthanasia? Sadly, it is happening even in the US and even more so in Europe.

Mike, I think we agree on just about everything actually. This forum is interesting to me because there are un-conventional points of view presented.
