Saws, you and I have been coming up against each other more than a bit lately. I want you to know that I disagree with most of what you say, but I am also happy we've never been rude with each other. That alone makes me read your positions.

The trouble with small businesses getting hit with a health increase is that they will have healthier workers, fewer lost days and more productivity. The downside is that people might enjoy working again. I love having work to do. I hate being micromanaged. Small businesses do, too. However, the health act is a necessary evil until such time as people can see the benefits. The real advance of our race (homo sapien sapien) is our ability to face realities. Reality is that Republicans are behaving like spoiled brats. They will have their collective arses kicked very badly in the coming election, not because they are spoiled brats, but more to the point because they showed it. Feel for me Romney who does have the ability to confuse predicate with subject then deny the preposition is the creme of what Republicans have to offer a once-great nation. As my uncle used to say about a blind mare: "She don't look so good."

Obama will win by default.

It is time for a third party.
