Thanks for taking the time to leave me a reply.<BR/><BR/>On Sen. Kennedy, we will just have to disagree. I think his whole life, from getting kicked out of Harvard for paying someone to take an exam for him, right up until recently, has been a sham. The family money and power is all that has protected him. If you want to cry for someone, cry for Mary Jo's mother. She died last week.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even mention his political stance, the issues he supports that I strongly disagree with. I think he is so morally bankrupt that bothering to discuss his views gives him a legitimacy he does not deserve. But I'll make an exception here. <BR/><BR/>In one of your posts, you mentioned a friend's mother diagnosed with cancer in England. The family had to pay out of pocket for her MRI, or wait for months for the system. Obama, Kennedy and the Dems are pushing health care as a "right". I do not support making the U.S. health care system look like England and Canada. We would end up with a system that did not provide anyone but the rich and powerful with adequate care.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-80390480308698799772008-08-26T08:08:00.000-06:002008-08-26T08:08:00.000-06:00Well done, Barbara!
