This is why the health care dilemma is so vexing.  On one hand, everyone should have access to health care, not just because we don’t let people die in this country, but because as swine flu, Aides and every other disease has taught us, one person’s health affects us all.   On the other hand, giving everyone health car...more

Why are we subjected to another article about this loathsome generation?  They were the generation against the war - when there was the draft and a chance of them fighting in it that is.  When they eliminated the draft, they were only too happy to send us into the most unnecessary war in the country's history.  The clu...more
