I've been away, but I do understand your point, and I do agree, except they aren't forcing you to buy health care. They're forcing you to buy insurance. My friend laughs and asks me who do I think is behind Obama? The insurance companies get paid whether we like it or not. It's not like you get a choice, like whether or not to have car insurance. You don't have to own a car. And it's not like paying taxes, which go toward supporting your country (and I know that's a laugh in itself). This forces you to pay a private company. If they're so keen on "fixing health care" in this country, leave the dmd insurance company (e.g. middleman) out of the loop, and go straight for the health care problem itself. (Such as charging $50 for an aspirin.)

Some people try very, very hard not to be on the government dole, but this will be enough to force them over the edge if they have to choose between buying basic necessities or buying insurance. What's wrong with fixing the health care industry itself and cutting out the middleman (insurance companies)? That just baffles me.

That is absolutely the truth. Coyotes go for food, not sticks. Anyone who's actually been around wildlife at all would know that.

Did they turn it over to get the little critters from the bottom side?

Not hardly a cougar, bobcat, or a lynx. This is most likely a Pixie-Bob domestic cat. They get really big.

That's what it looks like to me, too. Maybe a Pixie-Bob? They can get pretty big.

I would never have associated a name like that if it weren't for this. I automatically thought of 5 wives and 5 spouses. Now I'll see it as one spouse with 5 wives.
