Amos:I'll try, teach. Them typos can be murder. Now, since when is saying someone has made an idiotic statement a "personal slur"? I didn't say HE was an idiot- are you possibly reading something in there?

Kim: I mean this kindly, (really I do) but do consider for a moment a somewhat larger picture: that this maybe exactly the way this "tax relief" scam was planned- to give a small economic sop to folks immediately to distract them and disguise the fact that in the long run they are getting badly screwed. Is this not possible? Jobs are being cut. Services are being cut. Education funding is being cut. State Aid is being cut. Welfare has been "reformed". The National Parks are in real trouble. At some point the chickens will come home to roost- after the current crop of political hacks are out of office.

If I wanted to be unkind, I might suggest that people (not you specifically) these days seem willing to sell their votes and their children's and neighbors' futures pretty cheaply.
