As you have quoted many similar statements to others "You really should go see some one about that problem" Which brings to mind. Since your NHS is so great as you keep saying, you shouldn't have any problems getting help in all area's of your illnesses. -- "I'm never wrong, once i thought i was, but was mistaken" Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5

BAH needs to learn something that most good scientists learn very early in their career: if you cannot find a way to clearly express an idea so that somebody else understands it, then the idea is almost certainly not clearly thought-out, and in general, is simply not based on sound reasoning and reasonable assumptions. Copping out by blaming the inabilty to explain an idea because of disease, lack of sleep, etc., is nothing but denial of the basic unsoundness of the idea. Eric Lucas

You might be trying to muddy the waters and confuse people into believing this is about insurance, and not health care, but I am not. Almost all of those who do not have health insurance now are incapable of affording medical care, either preventative or curative. > And > no, it's not "extraordinary". How many had health *insurance* > fifty years ago? That's a meaningless argument because 50 years ago, most people could afford to pay for health care on their own, or at least most of the less expensive stuff.

I would suggest that the authors of the Constitution would find *you* subversive. ERic Lucas

Unsettled knows perfectly well that the usual meaning of the "lemming" label involves blindly following another person, and that essentially everybody would read it this way.

He's not even honest about his reasons for killfiling, since he routinely responds to my posts through somebody else's response to me. If he really found me to be unworthy or reading, he simply wouldn't read anything I write, or respond to it. His only purpose for killfiling people is to make a big show of denigrating their opinion just because they won't fall down and fawn over everything he says. He is a gutless hypocrite.
