Dale, Marc, Kevin G. and PatB. Guys, I haven't heard such informed, thoughtful opinions since Floyd, Barney, Otis the drunk, and Goober sat down to ruminate on the goings-on in Mayberry while devouring one of Aunt Bea's apple pies!

Sorry guys but I couldn't restrain myself. And I LIKE Dale! And I know Kevin G. is a decent sort as well. Marc, I don't know enough of where you are coming from. Now PatB. well, ...........you do have a fine looking boy! All this talk about taxes, I mean was it news to anyone that the rich pay such a high percentage? If a moderate soaking of the rich is needed to get health insurance for 10 million children, or provide adequate nursing home staffing, or adequate whatever, so be it.
