ST>You continue to call me a liberal which displays your own ignorance.
ST>Just  thought I'd point that out... :)  Further, you told me in a
ST>previous post  that number was incorrect - you've since been proven
ST>wrong and you didn't  even bother to comment on your mistake, nor
ST>offer an apology.

Why don't you quote my entire comments instead of selectively commenting 
things out ?  You were the one who tried to compare yourself to a 
colonial liberal thinker.  You are the one who is taking up the liberal 
montra on many topics.  If it barks like a dog.....


ST>So now it appears as though you agree with that number as established
ST>by  this post.

ST>> Now you want to destroy our medical system.  If this abomination
ST>> passes, your 45,000 number will climb, but don't let that stop a
ST>> good liberal rant on feelings.

ST>In the meantime - why you're making the accusation that a public
ST>option will  ruin our health care system, we are trailing behind
ST>other countries in basic  medical care and 45,000 Americans are going
ST>to die this year.  Your logic of  that number climbing if we somehow
ST>provide healthcare to them is an  oxymoron.  But don't that stop your
ST>rant on your feelings.

There will likely be 1.2M abortions this year.  What's your take on this 
?  Additionally, here are the leading causes of death each year in the 
US:

Number of deaths for leading causes of death
Heart disease:  631,636 
Cancer:         559,888 
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases):      137,119 
Chronic lower respiratory diseases:     124,583 
Accidents (unintentional injuries):     121,599 
Diabetes:       72,449 
Alzheimer's disease:            72,432 
Influenza and Pneumonia:        56,326 
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis:   45,344 
Septicemia:                     34,234 

How about we tackle the higher priority issues first, before we start 
all touchy feely stuff and throw around numbers which have questionable 
basis for fact ?
