It's about citizens' legitimate fear that they're going to have worse
health care, and worse access to what health care they get, after Obama
fucks up the health care system.

It's about the corporate ox being gored. It's about power and money.
Our choice is whether to do this collectively, or continue to live at
the mercy of a system intent on extracting from us our last drop of blood.
The corporate powers can always count on the support of a group of
ignoramuses to fight their battles. Ignoramuses are not known for any
socially progressive positions, and tend to have little or no racial
tolerance.

Yea, we saw this coming, the so-called tea parties. Saw it coming,
where they claim that everybody, even Democrats were there. But
obviously it was only designed to get racists and anti-Democratic
liberal haters into a mindless frenzy, to get them to do the corporate
Republican dirty work.
After all, if the legislation for healthcare reform get passes, the
free ride for corporate interests
will be in jepordy, then the tobacco lobby, on down the line.
The lobbying shit is why our consumer protection is so screwed up. Why
buisness as usual is damaging to the entire nation. Why Republicans
only work for themselves and not the people.

It's about preventing government from fucking over the vast majority of
Americans who are happy with their health care and their access to that
care.

I would agree that wear-and-tear on almost any car on the road now is
not much worse at 75 MPH than at 55 MPH. It appears to me that most
wear-and-tear is related to either number of miles or number of engine
revolutions.
90 or 100 may be a different story with automatic transmissions, with
possibility of the transmission getting hot enough to shorten its life.
And if the automatic transmission lacks a lockup torque converter, then
lots of 80-plus MPH sustained for over 30-40 miles may get the
transmission on the hot side. 75 may be a bit of a problem in this area
if the tranny lacks a lock-up torque converter and the vehicle has high
aerodynamic drag.
The main reason to go slower is to conserve fuel. Fuel economy in
steady speed driving is usually greatest at the slowest speed at which the
vehicle comfortably runs in top gear, unless the vehicle cannot use top
gear comfortably or at all at 60-65 MPH or so - in which case fuel economy
may be maximized at the slowest speed at which the vehicle comfortably
uses the second-highest gear. As speed increases past 50 MPH or so, air
resistance is significant, and energy used per mile to overcome this is
proportional to square of airspeed.
(In urban driving with a stop sign or an unsynchronized traffic
light every block, fuel economy appears to me maximized at the slowest
speed at which much of the accelerations can be done in 2nd gear, with
top speed maybe 25-30 MPH, maybe even less, and accelerate moderately
vigorously once in 2nd to maximize combined efficiency of the engine and
the tranny. The engine is usually most efficient when it is working
moderately hard, and the tranny is usually most efficient when it is
working moderately lightly and in higher gears. Slower top speed means
less energy used to mainly heat up and wear the brakes, by a factor of
proportional to square of speed that one must stop from.)

Covey coined the term[citation needed] abundance
mentality or abundance mindset, meaning a business
concept in which a person believes there are enough
resources and success to share with others, when
looking at optimistic people.
It is commonly contrasted with the scarcity mindset,
which is founded on the idea that, given a finite
amount of resources, a person must hoard their
belongings and protect them from others. Individuals
with an abundance mentality are supposed to be able to
celebrate the success of others rather than be
threatened by it.[2]

Woods would appear to have the abundance mentality.
He likes high premiums coupled with shitty coverage, so he can make
UnitedHealthCare's shareholders and CEO rich.

If she just gives him money without some

leave her alone.
Personally, I'd tell her to run her face

I already did. Shacking up with someone for years isnt the same thing as a BF.

A shackupee

Read up on palimony.

Irrelevant to your much too sweeping claim there.

Countless cases where insanity has been argued etc.

That is just plain wrong too. If she has not lied about
his behaviour, that is evidence of a mental problem.

You dont know that either.

Never said it did.

Never said that either.

In fact the absolute vast bulk of them do.

Having fun thrashing that straw man ?

He may not give a damn. Plenty of married people dont.
