They're stinking entities -- not human -- so why should my dollar be sabotaged because of a corporation.

2. Stop lobbying. Call it what it is -- bribery. If you get caught using lobbyist you should go to jail..

Gotta respectfully disagree. Sometimes, maybe even often, that is what happens but lobbyist provide valuable information to Congressmen on issues that they don't have the time or the staff to research.

Just one more thing

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Dead on.

The part I didn't include is that claims history makes a difference in the premiums the company has to pay. So, someone having cancer would not affect a new employee's right to join group coverage, but it will affect the premium the company pays once those claims start being paid, and not in a good way.

I was never told it was a bad word. LOL But my previous pastor believed "shucks" was a bad word too so I understand it.

Hey, did you ever hear of how Tony Campolo gave a speech about hunger and used the "S" word. He said that the majority of Christians don't give a "S". The crowed gasped. He then said that they were most likely more upset with the fact that he said the "S" word than the fact that so many tens of thousands were suffering from hunger.

I got a kick out of that. And it adequately describes the situation we find ourselves in. We worry about the small juicy stuff and ignore the major issues facing our society.

Bro...I didn't write the first post that accused anyone seeking justice of being irresponsible whiners. I found that insulting. Some people legitimately need help. He left no exceptions in his rant. And that's what it was...a rant.

I can laugh about it now, but I thought for sure I was gonna meet my maker when the back tire went right into the ditch I had been digging! Thank God there was a huge tree in the yard and that I had enough chains to hook the bucket too so I could pull the backhoe out.

one day this kid was selling some puppies.
they had a sign that said
"Democrat puppies"

Barak came by stumping and saw it. He thought it was cute and so he asked the boy "why are these cute pupies democrats?"

the little boy, not knowing Obama from Adam said "dont worry Mr. in a few days they will be Republican puppies!"

Obama was confused and asked why that was and the little boy replied

"They will open their eyes!"
