To Repeat...
So my guess is...based on your recent postings Kimmy that you feel that health care reform is NOT needed because the existing system works so fabulously for everyone in the US... Really??? It is simply insane that the US is THE only 1st world, industrialized country that does NOT provide at least basic health care for all of its citizens. This places us at a tremendous competitive disadvantage in the world and places an unnecessary burden on business AND the population as a whole.

To all the other users, better watch what you say! Get in line with the haters, the pagans, the anti-semites, and use foul language and you'll be just fine around here! Spread the good word of Jesus and you'll find yourself out in the cold, LOCKED OUT!!!!!!
-Cragg
If you were to spread "good words" you wouldn't have any issues, but the minute you post its not about good...its about telling everyone how horrible they are because they choose to believe (or just not believe) differently than you.

Apple donated $100,000 to battle the proposition to ban gay marriage in California yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reports, joining Google, which anted up $140,000 earlier this week. “Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly†on the matter, the company said in a statement, as polls show the race to be tightening.
