<< m sorry though, I just cant see myself believing ANYTHING Gore has to say. I used to be fond of Lieberman, because of his consistency to his values. Lieberman changed all his "core values" for "Gore values", to be VP. >> Re the above mentioned discussion Cost must be considered. When the big fat government takes your and my money , it generally costs so much more than a faith based group or a non profit foundation, etc. I agree we need help, but it seems as though everyone is standing in line with their hand out . keep that up and we will all be reduced to the lowest common denominator, with no incentive to achieve or to develope new medicines etc. and won't have to worry because everyone will be so poor there will be nothing to share.
