gayle, good analogy. or why get a job if a mother has 5 kids and takes in 600 each.

fred, i was getting xrays at the dean clinic and i said, wow pretty fancy equipment you have here. they said, oh, this is old. we're getting a new system. i said, what will happen to this one? they said, oh, it will go to the 3rd world. well, with the new regime these clinics will be using their "old" equipment for years longer, and when it's finally sold it will probably never see botswana. instead it will go to clinics here, that can no longer afford to buy new. this will devastate the medical equipment industry, and yes, the wealthy libs will see equipment on its last legs too. and tough luck, kenya.

if you never need your car insurance you are grateful. it might be money wasted but not that much. health insurance, though is way more expensive. yes you're grateful you never needed it, but still that's a lot of money you spent toward someone at 300 pounds needing a medflight. so once you get past the year's deductible the temptation will be to get your money's worth, and so you call for appts for every ache and pain. plus, with your doctor's excuse you can rack up the skis and head up to copper mountain friday morning. this is hypothetical, people would never do that.

i was riding my bike north along morena and somehow missed my turn onto balboa. i came to the costco and turned in its driveway to cut across and head back out to morena. so many cars were coming in and leaving i couldn't make my move for 5 minutes. ans this was 2 pm on a weekday. just to show what kind of a city s/d is, i was taking the exit ramp from morena onto balboa, and the pavement was so narrow that this truck couldn't get by me. patiently and politely he hung a hundred feet back.

that's what they said in the 60s, then in the 70s they started saying, we can beat private pay, plus you can retire at age 40.

if you are under your parent's plan and turn 26 in january, where i worked you would have to wait a whole year for the open enrollment period. of course the company human resources dept isn't going to come up to you in december and say, we want to spend another 900 a month this upcoming year, so to avoid the donut hole sign up for our plan now. well, where i worked they would have, they were paternalistic there. but not all employers are like that.

also a few years back the muslims went on an arson rampage, and the french govt says, what did we do to get you so mad? they should have used gunships.

well, as illegals do they have constitutional and legal protections? what we need are vigilantes to test this thesis.

it would be cheaper to send mexico (our present fake) money so that they can raise the mexican pay rates, so that a, they stay home, and b, they go back home if already here. i remember that 1965 immigrant bill, we discussed it in history class. until then we welcomed europeans overwhelmingly, with the other races set to certain desirability percentages, per an act in the 1920s. but as lamentable as that 1965 legislation was, it at least established legality standards, now we're taking any trash that comes along, and then aid and abet them with free food, apartments, schooling and tuition, plus we give them drivers licenses, the vote and medical. i can say this about the gays, at least they pay their own way and do think of themselves as citizens.
