Just a few lines about Health care and the whole of America separates into waring factions. Come on America stop and think, one day you all will get old, ill and in need of help and not all of you will be able to afford good care.
I would just like to say that I am not going to preach either one way or the other but I will state the facts as I have experienced them in the UK. I worked for 50 years and contributed to the National Insurance scheme all those years as did my wife and my family as well as all the people lucky to be in work. I have been looked after and never had to worry about health care for myself or my family because both I have payed and the population have payed. OK with everything in life nothing is perfect and our system is not perfect but its damn near as close as a realist can expect.
In the old days the rich in this country were the only ones able to expect health care now everyone and I mean everyone can expect and gets health care.
The US is a great country and a rich country it seems to me that you can do better for the poorer people in your great nation just as we can in the UK. No one wants to be ill but as I said before wake up, rich or poor its going to happen to you.

I find the live view is ok except in bright and low in the sky sunlight so I always use the viewfinder also to save battery power which one day will let you down at the best shot you have ever seen. For example I was in London a couple of months ago and I waited for the guards in full dress uniform to march down the Mall. It was perfect conditions Blue sky nice white clouds Red tunics Buttons gleaming and a flat battery just before they got to me! Got the back of them after fitting the spare battery. Spare camera (Fuji X10) bought with viewfinder so it won't happen again.

Yes I have the Fuji X10 as a backup to my Nikon D90 forget the orb problem as only a few of the early camera's had it and Fuji will fix it for free. The X10 is great for every day situations and I have to admit it is slowly becoming the main camera with the D90 as the backup. I find that unless I am doing a specific shoot I get tired of lugging the SLR around. The X10 is lightning fast at focus (As good as the D90) the exposure is spot on and it has as much variation in settings as the average photographer will ever need. Although it does not fit in a jeans pocket it does fit in a coat pocket. One big plus for really sunny days is that it has is a viewfinder which most quality point and shoots do not have. I have been a keen amateur since the sixties and have two camera's now that are very very good. But don't take my word for it read the reviews again and ignore the orb problem comments as it no longer exists.
