I'm confused. You are not willing to pay for health insurance on your own as long as it is your decision, but you are perfectly willing to use tax dollars from others to have it provided to you for free (I'm referring to previous posts)?


>>Heard about it, yes. Seen it, no. Not that I'm not interested in the issue or wouldn't probably agree with a lot of it, but MM makes me want to take a shower - in sulphuric acid. As you point out "document" is a slippery word in his world. I am always afraid I am going to see him favor something that is actually a good idea and cause me to turn against it <g>
