Okay, so I guess I wasn't a part of the particular group of taxpayers that you were referencing, but was a part of the total set of federal taxpayers.

Also, my observation regarding the whole [slave name - less respect or whatever] was just that, an observation; I wasn't proposing it, or condoning it, or practicing it, or otherwise, just observing and commenting. [ethical digression: Do you think referencing the-thing-itself is worse than the-thing-itself?]

Yet, you didnt know, because you didnt read it for youself. In fact, you accepted the reading by a man known for him comedy act of a news show. I love Stewart, and Colburn... but they dont speak for me.. or tell me what i should or should not think.

This makes you no better than those of the tea party who allow themselves to be read too.

Likewise, when someone references an article there's the cut-and-paste effect.

Damned if you do or don't.

The medium is the message.

You can say it over and over and over, but as many here aren't familiar with McLuhan, your message is lost.

I personally don't care for this health care bill, myself. I don't like the "message".

But that isn't going to be helped by burying my head in the sand.

lol... Of course, wasting my time parrying with an arrogant prick isn't helping, either.

Sorry for the derailment here.....
Okay Silence I'll buy the whole observation thing...but I want to point out when you first posted that I responded just how silly I thought that was(hell what we do here is offer up our thinking process for examination...isn't that a far better method of assigning respect to someone than their nic?)and lo and behold you repeated that same bullshit observation in a couple of other threads.....so I started to take it personal.....but as far as I'm concerned it is a dead subject....all cool.
End of derailment.

A cut and paste should encourage you to read that article/source. If not, its exactly the same thing. But, at least cutting and pasting the exact bill contents itself, the poster is allowing you to make your own decision as to what it means, not explaining it to you, not expecting you to take them at their word.

If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.
