  • Why is it that the few spoil a good chance for the many to get the facts straight. We are not going to have a socialist system. We are not going to euthanize our old people. We will have a chance to have a health care system for everyone and every layer of the social pyramid.

  Fri Jul 24, 2009

  Tue May 19, 2009
  • If they raise the rates I will cut up my cards (which I should have done long ago) and pay cash for everything. If I don't have the cash I won't buy it. I am doing that now. It really doesn't hurt a bit.

  Fri May 15, 2009

• Emotional anti-smoking ad: Low blow or good campaign?

  Thu Apr 2, 2009
  • I think the ad hits the heart of the problem. If we think about that child crying and hurting we should think of our own children and how they would feel if we "left them" because we couldn't or wouldn't heed the advice.

• What do you think about taxing miles driven instead of the current gasoline tax system?

  Fri Feb 20, 2009
  • Terrible idea. We are being taxed to death. I am openly disappointed that Obama would even listen to this idea. If inferior materials and poor construction were addressed our roads wouldn't be in such bad shape. Bridges are old and need to be delt with but not at this level.
