So now he's *bombing* war memorials to keep tourist away. Even Mount Vernon's 
parking lot and bus turn-around have been barricaded to show those tourist 
who's boss.

Bhairitu,

I just looked up in Wikipedia about the three potential states in 
California, which includes the wannabee state of Jefferson, located in 
northern California.  It sounds ideal.  But I don't believe Governor 
Brown or his successors will let this happen.  For one, politics and

idea is fascinating.  But who would like to be called a resident of 
the Empty Quarter?

Re: [FairfieldLife] US Federal Government Is Shut Down

2013-10-01 Thread Richard J. Williams 
One  of the problem with this kind of health insurance is that the 
younger people have to subsidize the older people and the government has 
to subsidize both. If you are a healthy 25 year old, why would you want 
to pay $350 for health insurance, when you hardly ever get sick? The 
real problem is not with the insurance, or with people's health - the 
problem is the high cost of medical care and medicine.
