What a vicious attack from PMS. Assume you are a woman.

And oh, so personal. Nary a response to any of the facts that I have shared on this site. Gotta tell you folks that, PM's personal attack was probably the most hateful one that I have received in my lifetime. S/he was sick with anger. I apparently not only struck a nerve . . . but apparently, her/his entire nervous system.

Get a grip and cool down. You must remember that personal attacks are a sign that you have nothing meaningful to contribute to an intelligent discussion. (Yes, I know, that can be a bit frustrating, when one is a few pickles short of a full jar, but we all must learn to cope.)

Want to add a general post for the readers here. This will most likely raise someone's ire, but tis' a cruel and an fair world out there.

I'm sure that most of you have heard of Paul Krugman.
(Nobel Prize Guru in Economics), and a Liberal who wants billions more in Stimulus Money for the U.S. Economy . . .

His latest views on costs and rationing: He says it's just a matter of time until Medical Review Panels will decide whether elderly people with serious illnesses will receive very expensive treatment. Of course, if one can pay his/her own bills out of pocket, no problem, one can have the medical services and treatment. Secondly, another good way to raise tax revenue in a less painful way is to apply a death tax. That is, one's estate could be taxed to help deal with the Nation's huge deficit. And finally, Krugman says it's just a matter of time until a, "value-added," tax is passed to help with the revenue shortfall as well.

That's all for now.
