"The 2008 election was a historical anomaly. A uniquely charismatic candidate was running at a time of deep war weariness, with an intensely unpopular republican president, against a poitically incompetent opponent, amid the greatest financial collapse since the great depression,,,,,and still he won by only seven points.

Having the government control healthcare should scare the hell out of everyone! I just don't understand how obamacare has any support when you look at all the other programs the government controls.
If this is allowed, be prepared to have your government insert itself between you and your doctor, then let the nightmares begin. -JuJu

I'm a t-shirt guy and I like when the wearer endorses the message on the shirt. My wife bought me an 'Old Navy' t-shirt. But I was a marine. It was a hundred years ago but that's what's neat about being a marine...the coolness and the mystique always remain current. Well, that shirt became proper when I took an indelible marker and put a line through Navy and wrote Marine above it.
Old Marine! That's a true statement!

Because of the comforting and probably necessary anonymity I enjoy on SH, I live a life of two identities. On one hand I'm a mild mannered grand dad in a small Iowa town, but when I go home and sit at my pc, a transformation takes place. Waiting the couple minutes it takes to 'boot' and log-in, I morph into....WILSON!! Or, more accurately, a mild mannered, opinionated soccer ball whose acting career has been limited to cameo (but brilliantly performed) spots in mostly sports movies.
