Yeah, I know. But it's really no more childish than whining about people talking about history, no?

Give us more details on those 65 percent increases. How much do you pay now? Explain please. There is a lot of bad info, and scare tactics floating around, for political purposes. You seem easy prey for it, JS.

And nice post. I think you're a great example of someone who can (agree and) disagree intelligently and not act like a baby when someone disagrees with you.

We have more than our fair share of the others slinking around, waiting to be offended by disagreement. Life is too short ...
