Tom, I'm glad you posted those. I've use that one many times myself,
but this one really hits for those who want to blame every one of
their downfalls on somebody else:


"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of
your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."


A lot of truth there....

Guess how much I pay for health insurance, John. Just me, not a

Stupid question. Look at you.


Stupid response, but I understand why you are terrified of answering
the question.

Hell, baby killing is nothing! Not giving terrorists their

The abortion issue is actually not something politicians care about

to deal with. They use it as a tool, a wedge. It's a good tool
because it
involves babies and religion, so it makes for fabulously emotional
debates.
But, it will never EVER be an issue that anyone agrees on. Same
with gun
control, although that's even stickier because all anyone can do
with that
is debate the meaning of one sentence in the 2nd amendment.

You need to tell Harry. It sounds like an issue that should be left
to the
states.

The gun control issue should reach a head in June, when the Supreme
Court
get to the DC issue.

It's probably settle nothing, except maybe for questions about the
specific law in DC. Not anywhere else, though.




The abortion issue is only an issue to anti-abortionists. I suggest
they not get one, and if their teen-aged daughters get knocked up,
why, let those daughters bear the consequences along with the child.

Why do you deny the death penalty for convicted murders and rapists but,
an unborn child can be subjected to the death penalty anytime the mother
wants. The its her body argument falls apart when someone is charged for
the killing of a mother and her fetus. The hypocrisy of the pro-abortion
crowd is constantly visible.


I don't view a fetus as an "unborn child."

I'll be casting my vote...

You're suggesting I'm terrified to take a guess? Here's a guess. I 'guess'
that you pay $3200/month in health insurance. From what I've seen and
read,
that would be a reasonable amount.

Your response, above, to a real health insurance solution, was "double tax
rates, anyone?" Did I interpret that pairing of ideas correctly, or did you
place the typed words in such a way that the pairing was not accurate?

Single person: Almost $700.00. That rate stays the same regardless of age.
I mention age because there are lots of people at both ends of the age
spectrum who are not below the poverty level, so they don't qualify for any
of the special plans, as I call them. But, they're still not making enough
to afford $700 a month. Let's stick with single childless people for the
remainder of this discussion. It eliminates any static about "Oh they
shouldn't breed if they can't afford kids".

So, what do you do about people who are working hard, but still can't afford
$700 a month? Tell them to work three jobs? Self-insure? At the income
levels we're talking about (let's say $40-$50K), there's no way they're
going to self-insure enough to cover cancer care.

Are you going to suggest catastrophic care coverage, what used to be called
"major medical"? Doesn't exist in NY, and probably a few other states.

I'll be casting my vote...

Your future may depend on it.

That's a classic, Harry. Killing babies is an issue only to those who
believe murder is wrong.


Never in the history of our country has abortion been legally
considered to be murder. Never.

After you learn English, you can learn another language. Spanish is a
great language, and not difficult to learn, though you need "immersion"
to pick up the rhythm.

I wonder if any of his grandchildren are old enough or strong enough to
push his wheelchair down the street for his Latino neighbors' upcoming
barbecue?

I'm sure they'd love to welcome the guy that puts down their existence and
mistaught their children.

The irony of it is...he could end up with Latinos looking after him in his
nursing home. I bet he'll be sweet as sugar then.
