John, folks that wanted to donate have done so. You have collected

Why don't you just kill file me. Harry is plenty capable of sending his

Naw, I won't killfile you John. I am just offering some friendly advice

P.S. Take a look at the way you to follow and respond to many posts I make
John, including today in another thread, with *your* replies most often
being demeaning and/or confrontational.

Now look in the mirror and ask yourself who is the one continuously trying
to start a ****ing contest. (this thread is a perfect example). ;-)

JohnH,
If you wasn't for your good natured prodding, you would not have raised
over $3000 in contributions. If you ignore Barney Fife, he will hope
back on his horse and pick a fight with someone else.

I know Harry will contribute, I checked on your Charity, and their fund
raising expenses and admin. are in line with all the other cancer charities.

Harry is a big believer in contributing to worthwhile Charities, so I am
sure he will fork over the BIG BUCKS. My guess is he wants to double
your final amount.

See what you started Chuck?

So were you just "testing the waters" with this troll? Could it be that
some people actually preferred the old confrontational, political, rec.boats
with name-calling in the titles of threads and boating topics appearing
rarely in the mix?

Launching this kind of crap is the best way to get back to the days where
rec.boats was an ideal venue for acting out nasty impulses and engaging in
endless personal battles.

Shame on you Chuck. This was nothing but a blatant f'ing troll on your part.

No.

The liberal concept of success involves making sure there is room
for
everyone on the train leading to it.

Such a statement contradicts Mr. Bass Kisser, since it is impossible
for
everyone to be as rich as Bill Gates. Unless of course, your goal is
to
bring Gates down to others' level rather than lifting others up to
his.

If this really is how you think, then you ought to check it for a

It's a simple concept, and shouldn't need any explanation.

Let's put it in terms of something even simpler.

Let's say I have to see a doctor because of a symptom that is annoying
me.

He accommodates me the next day, at 9:30 AM.

Instead of going to work that morning, I show up at his office at 9:15
AM. I am shown in at 9:35, he checks me out, writes an Rx, and his front
office calls it in for me.

I pay my $10 co-pay, am on the road, and am at work at 10:30. I am not
docked a nickel, nor do I have to put in for any sort of medical leave.
On the way home, I pick up my Rx, pay the $10 co-pay and I am on my way.

Mrs. Immigrant from Mexico, who is trying to get aboard the train, so
far has only been able to wangle a job at Wal-Mart. Her employer,
despite the claims in its TV commercials, provides no health insurance.
She calls the doctor on her lunch period. Her doctor handles mostly
indigients and the office says she can't been seen for at least a week,
and at 1:30 in the afternoon. To get there, she'll have to take two
buses and leave at 8 AM. She has to take an entire day off from work,
and receives no pay for that day.

The doctor tells her she has a condition that will require her to take
two different prescriptions a day because she has a chronic condition.
The two meds will cost her $357 a month or, if she is really lucky, one
of them may be on a list an Rx manufacturer provides at little or no
cost for indigent patients. But she has to see her doctor every two
months for a renewal. Another day of pay lost.

She has one child at home. Day care. Fortunately, her husband also
works, though at low wages, and they struggle. And struggle. And every
time they seem to get a bit ahead, they get hit with something else.

These hard-working people need a little help getting on the train, so
they can travel on the road to success. If we don't slow down the train
a little and help them climb aboard, they may never make. They need a
better way to get health care, one that isn't so expensive or difficult
to get to or that costs her a day of wages.

Because if they don't make it, we don't make it.

We're not talking riches here. We're talking a reasonable life style,
with some sort of decent future for hard working people and their kids
and, in this case, a reasonable way to access medical care for the
family.

I sure as hell don't mind helping them. Money spent on them to help them
along is surely better than pouring money into the cesspool of Iraq.
We've got to make room on the train for these folks.


Harry, you make it sound as though your backgrounds were the same. Did
these immigrants (illegal, I assume), have a high school education,
followed by some college? Did they choose not to get educated, whereas
you
chose to get educated?

They're on the brink of financial disaster, yet they're making babies.
Wise
choice? What's different between these immigrants and your grandparents?

Just for the hell of it, how much money do you think the government
should
give them every year?
--
'Til next time,

John H


Funny you should mention that. A few years ago certain interest groups
were pushing our govt hard for a guaranteed annual income....and it
wasn't all that modest.


How much money did they want your government to dole out, and why wasn't
it
passed? Hell, I thought you Canadians were most 'progressive'.

They are independent contractors, no witholding required. Same as hiring

Uh, not the same, and, by the letter of the law, I doubt they would meet

Actually you are right, and I know it. Independent contractor has to be an
arms length relationship. Can not really tell them how to do the job. But
is flaunted all the time. Same as Microsoft and their "Independent

when I need workers and the state EED can not supply them, I will find day
workers.
