Spending lots of money on health is a thing, yes. And sometimes they die anyways, sure. That's all I was saying. I hear ya. Not enough money? Dogs die, people die. That's just how it is. Just keep your hands off my healthcare.

NCE writes: As a last resort, imho. But I don't want the feds in charge of my healthcare, or anywhere near it really. They suck.

What is it that you think you are doing? I would think what I am doing is rather obvious.

Being retarded? No more than I expected. I'll note here that other folks see your BS just as well as I do.

NCE has been something of an asshole lately and should be feeling a sting of some kind. I think the name calling stuff is unnecessary. NCE's politics are sometimes difficult to defend without leaving the impression that the holder of said opinions is soulless and self-centered. In this kind of lefty filled environment, somebody is bound to point out that exact point. Perhaps that is why some of our more right leaning posters adopt a "hit and run" style where they post bombs and don't hang around for a rebuttal. NCE does not do that. I give him props for that at least. I imagine that being a libertarian or a conservative poster has some similarities to being a Creationist poster here. We want folks to express their opinions here. I do at least. Because I want to understand the mindset that underlies those opinions. But if there really isn't much more mindset behind those positions than what a surface review suggests, I want to know that too.

Whether New Cat's Eye stays or goes is his choice. I of course would much rather he stay, but I do not think we should censor or soften our voice for fear that he, or anyone else we may disagree with, will leave. I did not mean to create the impression that we should avoid expressing our opinions beyond suggesting that we not resort to mere name-calling. Your post has given me some things to think about. I wrote some quick sentences in response, but I deleted them. I probably won't get around to posting anything.

But you don't say that my position is uncaring. You say that I, personally, am uncaring. This is of a piece with your claim that we cannot tell what emotions people are having because their true feelings are in their heads. If you are actually having some kind of internal conflict that never actually affects your opinion or your actions, why should anyone give a crap about that? In short, why shouldn't we call you uncaring if your position is uncaring?
