about elcid89

With all of the complaining that goes on here (some of you honestly seem incapable of doing anything else BUT complaining ...), GoLo has become depressing.

With the general trend towards the banal and inane, GoLo has become a waste of my time. 

What is it about this place, which has so much promise of bringing people together to discuss ideas and learn from one another, that it brings out the worst in people instead?

You'll forgive me if I take my leave of it.

"(Sorta like saying abortion is better than life, dying better than living."

You know I really like you, but you can be a little obsessive about the abortion thing. It's quite a turnoff at times.

Thanks for the kindly, soft way you showed me your discomfort with some of my words. I had your words from a prior blog comment dismissing the value of an unwanted life in mind as I typed (abortion better than being unwanted). I answered you on the blog. I'm turned off myself daily by the number of abortions and the reasons for them, so I figure I'm on the losing side and have more reason to vent.

While you say obsessive, I feel like I restrain myself all the time.

Anyway, great to see you on list and doing well. You've been through a lot. I've had my two close friends have by-passes, one his second('93 then '96 & doing great) with a mechanical valve, the other awaiting a heart now (congestive). If you're going to have major disease, then the heart is best in this age.

Put up w/ me

ElCid......I make 55-60K a year, driving a truck. My current health plan only costs me $8 a week......what would this health reform do to me??? I have been told that I would have to pay taxes on the value of my employers contribution...... Do you know for sure one way or the other???

elcid, on the 23d NY, the GOP was the moderate and BeBe wasn't replaced, she quit and backed the Dem. The Conservative Party in NY is NOT the GOP, but, rather, a whole nother party. McHugh was not a member of the Conservative part. He was a moderate GOP, think Snowe up in ME.

My mom's dad was a WWI draftee. He came home with a marching ditty:

"The French they are a funny race. They fight with their feet, and .... with their face"

Funny how that one word eludes me at the moment...

;-)

I would welcome your comments regarding your response on my blog...."another one bites the dust"....

As I said I have seen and read many of your comments and respect your age and wisdom....

OK, the man here is guilty of fraud since he impersonated an employee of the company.

Had he not, however - had he simply kept the money that was sent him - I do not see a crime in that. The key is in the interpretation of "rightfully his". If someone gives me money, I consider it "rightfully mine." Even if it's by mistake.

/* knock, knock, knock */

Trick or treat!

"Not at all. If, on the other hand, you act to marginalize or harm someone else simply because they are homosexual, based on your own irrational fears, then you're a homophobe. None of the gay folks that I know really care much if you hate them or not. They just don't want you mistreating them because of it."

The question was to another poster. I'm glad you made it by but I wish you would have read the previous posts so you could fully understand my question.

Thanks for the good conversation on the scotch blog. Hope you're enjoying Europe. Hank
