Hey, thanks for asking. you are the first to do so in this debate - I appreciate it! :) Rub elbows with folks who need it? How about my dad? He's a decorated war hero, whom I help to support because the bankrupt system cannot. He is needy. What about my sister who, when she lost her job, had...

Now, your'e making sense. Wat I am not in favor of seeing happen is those that have earned their priviledge footing the bill for those who have not. I pay my taxes and I drive on roads and have fire protection, as do you. I also thouroughly enjoy watching those who do nothing, or have come...

I dont like to quote entirely out of context, but I have here. Please forgive me. That is a serious leap of faith for me, Pat. Sorry The purpose of government is to further government. That it offers services here and there is a side shoot. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of...

Dead serious. Halt the colorful commentary for a moment and go read the speeches of Fidel Castro as he was rising to his coup. Look them up, as I did, expand your view. The similarities are there. Not every change, every revolution, must be bloody one. Not every man who claims kindly oversight...

We're assuming under your brand of health care reform, that: - Those that have, must willingly arry those who have little or nothing. What we lost sight of after the 1950's is that we cannot live bankrupt. That is why at 51, there is little in the system for you to draw on. You've paid taxes...

Good questions. A national market economy that sells more to others, than it borrows, would be a start. We had that once, not too long ago. But most likely, your questions should be directed at those who have based one third of our economy on debt and promissory spending. Hey I have an idea...

Keep in mind folks, I'm suggesting how it might be. Maybe Im just dreaming, perhaps nothing we do will work. I am very sorry for your daughter and for you. I know you are not the only person that had this happen. And it was very, very disheartening. I appreciate your sharing this emotional...

Simple: it is governments highest purpose to make it possible for the citizen to prosper, stay out of debt and advance his/her own life. This also means the citizen has a duty to do his part, and put in to the system. This was the intent of this nations founding. Think of a republic (which...

What do I say? The same thing I always say. I say that the day you turned 18, you should have had one of two things happen: 1. Your medical withdrawals taken by the government from your earnings should be placed into a managed health care fund - not sent to government, mis-managed Medicare...

The question is really whether you think it's the governments job to take care of anybody. You came into this world naked, you go out that way - what happens in between isn't the governments concern, it's yours. For another view of this, I've been reading the Foxfire books lately, Most are...

Of course my contention is, Ann, that the government has no business offering you contracts to care for you. They have other things they are supposed to being doing on our behalf. Bottom line, is there is no such thing as a level playing field, least of all when the government is attempting to...

I'm not a lawyer, but I am schooled in contracts to some degree. I have two real estate licenses to my credit [Sales and Management]and have seen a lot of contracts bought and sold. I gotta say, you got my eyes spinning on that one. So what you are saying is that all money is fixed - yours...

Good luck to stopping "the rape," as you put it. Remember a little Working Joe's paradise called Cuba? How did that work out for the regular guy? Did you ever hear the rhetoric spouted by their leaders? Go read it sometime - it published. It was nearly verbatim to what I've just read - and...

Sassafrass. It grows everywhere here.

A friend of mine has one of these things as a storage building. He paid, like, $800 to get it and it will probably outlast him. My first thought when I saw it was how you could convert it for living in. Very cool.

Awesome! You gotta love it.

I Freecycled a dehydrator, too - a Golden Harvest model. I also got another from a friend that same week, for a total of two. Both of mine heat up and make a nice breeze. They are supposed to, thats fer sure. I did some research into making my own a while back and there are all kinds of...

SO if you covered all the windows, your house would have black windows? Hey that is kinda 'rebel cool', you know? Pretty soon the cops are gonna outlaw them since they cant see in. Just like they have with cars. I think Im gonna get me a whole set, just to tick them off.... It is cool that...

I was wondering about that, too. Stumps? But hey it works. Stump Pickles sound interesting...

You are generally right in this, with only a few exceptions. Fair enough, then, in my book.
