Hey Folks,
I just came into this thread and read the whole thing, except for most of Little Hawk's posts. Guess what? It's an important and interesting discussion that's being, once again, hijacked by LH's self-satisfied, tangential maunderings. Talking about the issues instead of responding to him will keep this conversation vital and on track.

I read in the paper this morning that a Senate committee has taken the money for end-of-life consultations off the table. The subject, they say, is too much of a lightening rod for the opponents of health care reform. The leading Republican on the committee is one of those who are spreading the lies. In other words, the terrorists won.
