What about those of us who are "uninsured" by choice? U thoguht the cConstitution pretected our right to excersise ourn religion freely... Now I hear that Kennedy and Baucus are planning something like this for the whole country. What an incredible boondoggle. How about if we just make Jews and Muslims pay for a service that delivers bacon and porkchops to their door... hey everyone has to eat, right? They should just do it (pay for the service, I mean), because that's wat most everyone else would do, even if following through with and actually eating the dead pig would be against their religion. It's just a bunch of superstition anyway (according to the rest of us), so we can punish them if they don't do it by making them pay a fine... and we'll just add it to their tax return so there can't be any fussing about it and especially no court or messy "due process" involved, after all the IRS can just freeze their bank accounts and garnish thier wages or seize other property and sell it with the stroke of a pen. That's the most efficient way to make peeople comply with what the "majority" wants.
Damn, this isn't the United States of America that I know and love, and I shouldn't be forced to repeat the history that brought my many ancestors to America four centuries ago, to escape religious persecution and abusive taxes. ... oh yeah, and if the parents believe in some religion and just refuse to go along with it, we can get around that by forcing them to enroll their kids in the secular system or maybe just take their kids away from them because they'r being abusive (according to the rest of us). And just think, after a generation or two, we won't have to deal with these religious-type people anymore because we'll just breed it out of them by converting their children away from their kooky religions by force of law. Won't that be great?! Then we can have everybody in complaince and thinking the same.
