You should check out last night's OT. Izzy would beg to differ.

Oh contarare (sp?) my friend.  I lurk almost every day and I did see the interchange; decided to stay out of it.  I avoid Izzy at all costs these days; don't need the Powers That Be giving me nasty 2 ratings for no good reason.

Let's recite the rules of US governance:

  1. The rich/powerful matter and no one else does.

  2. Any policy sold to "help" the public in general is a sham.  Wait till you see what you really get.

It'll be like car insurance in the US.  If you want to operate a vehicle legally, you need proof of insurance to get a registration tag for your license plate.  For health care, doesn't matter if you're middle class or a bum in a tent city, you better have a health care card, PAID FOR, or they will do what ...?  Harvest your internal organs for research on immortality for the wealthy?  Hell of a research project if you think about it.  Don't want to arrest people ... too expensive.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

She's just down the road from you, so I guess discretion might be the wiser course.

I can't answer for the rest of it tho'.

"down the road" ... hell, she's all the way down in LA, like another country away.  No, it's that I came to ET for more/better info and I get that from lurking.  Conversing like this with YOU (!) is fun because I don't have to worry about every damn word I type.  "Am I insulting/attacking someone?"  Utter nonsense!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

So you get your line in on health care and at the same time pretend you're not around for discussion? Pretty feeble for someone with strong opinions.

Most unwise to diss Izzy... she has lethal shoes.  Gotta count for something.  Anyhow she's as entitled to her opinion as you are to yours and unless it seems as though you are going out of your way to offend, I'm sure you can have a civil discussion.

Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed by the anti-HC Bill lot?  Has your cat been chanting messages at you?
