Philo is his own breed.  No one can teach him anything he doesn't want to learn.

Thanks, pari. You really are the Computer Queen. Ain't it amazing the havoc one can cause by misplacing a close-bracket?

Uh, or leaving out an equal sign?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I'm sure you will say that it has something to do with Obama, in which case, you're missing the point.  The point being made here is that for decades, big money has been controlling our political system to such an extent that it no longer works in the best interests of the constiuents but for corporations.  Those corporations have used that influence to change the laws in such a way that they can do anything they want to rip off the consumers and it's all technically legal.  This isn't a partisan issue...both sides are in the game and unless we the people take back our government, this experiment that is America will continue its financial decline.

You will see just how much the corporations own this country, as the way health care should go is completely not-for profit (drugs, insurance, providers), but since the financial sector OWNS health care and all that money would go away, the resulting legislation will undoubtedly add to the riches of the greedy.  The only way health care could have gone the right way is if we would have let AIG, et al, fail.  Too late.

Have you seen the "Association of Insurance Providers" advertising how they support legislation to make health care affordable and accessible for all?  It is very similar to how Shell, Exxon, BP, et al, are all helping the environment... mutherfkkers.
