Nope, I had forgotten it entirely. Two years ago, the daughters hadn't quite accomplished their goals, so it was premature to point out how idiotic the drumbeat of "liberal morons" is. :rolleyes:

I wonder if you'd say that if you were younger, and planning to start a family, [later] and your insurance was all you had?

The 'hands off' policy has nothing to do with who pays for what, it's about who decides what medical care women can get. That should not be legislators with an ideology/religious axe to grind.

The same reason you pay taxes: it benefits the whole, which includes you. I also had exactly as many children as I wanted & could comfortably support, but if others don't [or can't] limit their reproduction in the same way, we will pay for it later, and it will be a lot more expensive, then...

Things change. The Cleveland Indians have updated their logo, I'm sure others have too... Ditto uniforms, no problem. How many teams have left the cities and fans that loved & supported them, or just threatened to, for more money?

Facing the consequences of his chosen level of aggression is exactly what's happening, and he's just lucky it wasn't much worse. Officer Cheri would probably have tased her disrespectful behind. [If we're gonna dream, dream big, lol] :D

"Ruined", huh? Daughter #1 has been married for nearly 20 years [to my go-to computer expert], is raising 2 daughters, recently graduated Magna Cum Laude with a nursing degree, is a homeowner, and has a great relationship with her spouse, in laws, and some pretty smart friends. Daughter #2 is a...

Well, that makes it all ok, then. If she'd landed differently, and snapped a cervical vertebra, [say C5], and became a total paraplegic, then it would have been too much force, is that what you're saying? :rolleyes:

Ivall's logo is ART - I love it! You guys who can't handle change? Dinosaurs, that's all I'm saying. :D

I hate those calls too, but I can't bring myself to harass someone who is just trying to make a living. I think Linda's solution is probably the most effective: block the numbers when they call. When they call again from a different number, block that one too. It's a PITA, but if there's a...

Conscious is a good thing for drivers to be, but conscientious is priceless, lol. Sorry, John, couldn't resist! PS I'm not as 'fly' as Turtle, I just print out my EZ Pass statement once a month, and hand write appropriate load pro numbers for each charge. It's little enough to do for a...

That's the whole premise of insurance: to spread the cost among many, so no one gets wiped out. It's a pretty socialistic kind of deal, really. I [who am very healthy, with no chronic conditions, needing almost zero medical care] am helping to keep the cost 'reasonable' for those who have all...

Hindsight is 20/20, innit? Easy for you to say "you don't" do the things that you, personally, don't ever have to do. And that "kill them all, let God [or whoever] sort it out" attitude has a lot to do with why ISIS is so attractive to young people who live in the Middle East, Dr Frankenstein.

The Establishment clause is about preventing the government from using religion against people, as the Church of England did. The government cannot 'observe' religion without choosing one or another, because 'religion' is not just one thing: it's many. And even withing the sphere of...

Governor Lepage is apparently no fan of truth getting in the way of his ideology: he made a speech about eliminating the state income tax [which he wants to do], in which he claimed that the income tax is why Maine resident Stephen King was now living in Florida. King was quick to respond...

When they're in the wrong? Never. When they are doing the best job they can, we support them. That's how it works. It's not black & white, always wrong or always right.

Anyone who can reply intelligently to "how would you have done it" should have training in dealing with resistance, as LEOs are supposed to. If memory serves, that training requires them to use the least amount of force that will effectively work, and to increase it only if necessary. It is...

Sorry, but that's what I see. It's the religious interests that promote such utter stupidity as 'abstinence only' sex education, 'Crisis Pregnancy Centers' that not only lie, but can delay a woman from having any real choice in whether to terminate a pregnancy - if she can find a clinic open...

She "knew the attack was coming, and did nothing"- can you cite anything that verifies that? I've read that the State Dept knew it was dangerous & unstable, and were warned that an attack was likely, but that could describe every square inch of Libya, and many of the surrounding countries, too...

First, any diplomat who told the truth to everyone all the time would have a life span measured in minutes. Second, her answers to the questions didn't sound preposterous to me, or to any of the more well informed [and impartial] observers who commented on the hearing. It was another...
