Rants and Raves for March 20

Good luck

“PEACHES TO DAN CORRIE! Dan, I wish you luck with finding the mailbox vandals. We replace our mailbox at least once per year! Obviously, these ‘children’ didn't see the CSI episode about mailbox vandalism. Good luck, I applaud you!”



Rudeness tax

“The $1 tax increase SHOULD be on cigarettes. I've never seen such rude people as some smokers are. They smoke in places they know smoking is prohibited and go to walk in a building and pitch the cigarette for someone else to pick up, and not to mention the littering on the highways with smokers who won't use their ashtray.”



How many?

“Re: The high ground. How many Israeli men, women and children, have been killed since the Oslo agreements by Hamas, PLO...etc...?”



Just live with it

"You know, it seems like there was a time when you could go into a hospital or a doctor's office and the administrative staff wouldn't frown or bug you to death if you didn't have enough loot to cover a check-up. We have great and more experienced doctors now, but it seems as if the ones running the money side are just the opposite. Unlike the yester years I remember, they seem to care more for my money than they do for me now. I'm highly considering in the future that if I'm stricken with a life-threatening illness that requires some kind of expensive treatment, that the best thing to do is to just live with it rather than beg for help by paying a load of money like it's a ticket to enter Seaworld or a circus. Heck, my dogs were treated better at the vet than this."



Please reconsider

“Mr. Marshall, I appreciate your time and service to our country. It was just a few months ago that you explained to me that your main concern was the public option, and now that it has been removed from the bill I’m asking you once again to reconsider your position on health care reform. We cannot afford to go without health care any longer. There are too many of our fellow citizens in need of help, and now is your chance to provide just that. Please, give us your best.”
