I don't think there is intent for the subsidy to persist in it's present form indefinitely, but I haven't seen the numbers.

I find it a bit hard to digest that two policies that offer the same coverage are priced so different. BTW, what makes one an "Obamacare" policy? Aren't they both just insurance policies?

In this case you are truly wrong. My friend will get about $12k a year from Social Security. The only reason he gets by is because I give him a place to live for free. His car is only slightly newer than mine (mine is a '97 pickup, because I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to cars). His computers (desktop and laptop) are hand me downs from friends. No TV at all, his computers won't even play videos from the Internet. I doubt he goes to restaurants even once a month if he is paying for himself. His only monthly expense other than his cell phone is the cost of his prescriptions/medical insurance which had been very little up until now. He was on Medicaid but is loosing that because his income from SS is too high.

He is lucky that he has friends. Otherwise he would be homeless and SOL. Blaming any of this on him living lavishly is pure BS. He was in a marriage working in a family business that ended up bust. He was screwed in a divorce and ended up with a 10 year old minivan, $15k and no job.

I'm terrible at remembering who people are in this newsgroup, but if you are the guy who sells shrimp, picture yourself if your business had gone down the tubes during the big oil spill in the gulf and you ended up divorced with no home. I think that many of us are not far from being like my friend. I know that my current happy state is as much the product of good fortune as it is skill or intelligence.

Some of us manage to dodge the bullets life shoots at us, others don't.

Of that I have no doubt. But the thing is the agents who work for "them" wh ouch is probably you, also take advantage of Usenet and a few other things and will not act against themselves. I have never got a movie or song from binaries, ust a couple of pics and they were notthat great. But I know ther e are files out there. I am just not that much in a hurry. I reallly do hav e everything I want at the moment. I am thinkng of things now. What to get next. Gotny ideas ?

But, those untermessages, thyy will never detect them all. I could call a k ilogram a fork. I could call a metre a cow. Oh yeah, but we would have to a gree upon it somehow. there is the problem, but also the solution. Word of mouth.

And there is another thing, ;even once a target, what happens ? Very few pe ople actually just diappear. Are you bad enough to make that list ? I doubt I am. Not even on the RADAR. They are looking for threats and as much as I probably could become one I won't because he People are not yet for it. It is immoral to do so now. Until the majority wants it I cannot do anything directly to that end morally. And no Bible or law book taught me this. (it was mostly Grampa)

You think what you want.
