Nope! Sorry Leno, but I really don't care to debate the issue of universal healthcare here. This issue has been done to death at BA.com, where, like a lot of other "hot button" issues, it almost always becomes heated and then locked.

The only reason I brought that issue up in the first place was due to those congressional hearings that took place about a year and a half ago, where the corporate heads of the Big Three testified that one of their biggest competitive disadvanages was that most of the foreign brands' workers have their healthcare costs covered by each of their respective governments.

(and BTW, if you recall, in my response to Mac, I agreed with many of his, as you stated, "valid points", and so that's why they went, as you stated, "unaddressed", because what would have been the point to debate a point or points to which I had already agreed?)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
