No, I am offering you the chance to do some good in this world; give
of yourself and your treasures and help a kid or two instead of
relying on the government to do it. It was the same thing during
Katrina. No one offered up advice, or their time/treasure/talents,
they simply bitched about how GWB ****ed it all up. ...

Apparently you don't understand *why* we have a government in
the first place. Here's a direct quote from the Owner's Manual:

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

So we do rely on the government, and not on the largesse of Steve
and Dave and Louie, to promote the general welfare.

Why do you hate America so much ? ;-)

And, don't forget that YOU can do something about some kids' medical
expenses. YOU!

That's your current theme, you've repeated it several times
here lately, so tell us, outside your immediate family, how
many children's medical expenses do you personally pay for ?

Well, it certainly is now, but wasn't before we went in.

But when is the last time the guvment gave out health care? It has
been a hot button for as long as I can remember, during good and bad
times. The good times of the 90s so us no closer to it that the bad
times of the late 70s.

I don't hate America, but I do dislike crackers that live in
Illernoise who should be living in North Cackalakie. d;o)

BTW, who won yesterday. I fell asleep watching the game.

did they get rid of Medicare and Medicaid?? I've been tying flies and stuff,

The North Cackalacky Tarheels beat their archenemies Dook and
the Illini lost to those preppie pricks from Northwestern.

Which makes my decision not to make a football bet with the
boy lawyer this year seem downright prescient. I already owe
him two bottles of booze and dinner for two while dressed in
a powder blue outfit so I'd appreciate your not rubbing it in,
thank you very much.

When was the last time you visited a military reservation?
