That's some dangerous thinking because it seems to make sense ... until you dissect it. 1.) Any time you use the US healthcare system you impose a "tax" on all US citizens. If it's because of your own stupidity then US citizens are paying your stupid tax. 2.) Now we have to start defining "stupid". Fast food? Not exercising? Not supplementing with D-3 cholecalciferol if you live in northern latitudes? Skiing? Living in the ghetto? Beer???? For the love ... BEER? See the problem? You're in glass house there and you're chuckin' stones. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287481 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
