Is this an accurate read? I'm more than happy to brawl with these Christian Falangist clinic bombers and their libertarian dance partners, but I'm not going to go too far out of my way to fight for a "sort of HMO that's expensive enough to insure profit for the insurance cartels". Maybe if I see them marching past the Blarney Stone pub. -- In Solidarity, Billy O'Connor _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
