One thing I think we can all agree on with this government shutdown is... - Inigo Oct 1, 11:18
Whew, thought I screwed up with filing my PR tax returns - amoxy Oct 1, 11:16
"Keep Your Government Hands Off Mah Affordable Care Act Exchanges!" Heh. -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 11:15 27
- I'm in love with Mel's imagery of a dragon guarding its stash. That is the GOP and its allied interests exactly. - TWuG Oct 1, 11:19 26
  - I'm even more cynical than that... - Mel Profit Oct 1, 11:25 24
    - I don't think so - it's just human nature to credit yourself for your successes, and devalue the contributions made by others. - Roger More Oct 1, 11:46 9
      - Your IM is one of the reasons I fear for our brand of democracy, frankly. "Free speech" means spreading bad information is protected - con_carne Oct 1, 11:54 6
        
        It's protected from government ban, but it's not protected from other free speech. - Roger More Oct 1, 12:18 3
        
        I'm going to invent a Mecha Free Speech Robot to do battle with the BS-Robot. - Mel Profit Oct 1, 12:20 2
        
        I like BS-Bot - it implies a kneejerk response that isn't interested in alternate views -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 12:25 1
        
        (while lots of robots - Data, Johnny 5, the T-800 - suffer Pinocchio syndrome and want to be human) -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 12:27
        
        with multiple cable news channels, the ability to select your own totally biased editorial views is returning us to the yellow journalism of the 1800' - zeitgeist Oct 1, 12:14 1
        
        I can loan you a proofreader if you like. -- nm - William Randolph Hearst Oct 1, 12:21
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah, I suppose I'm thinking more about ordinary people than the leadership/interest groups that started the convo -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 11:53

    - and... - znufrii Oct 1, 11:27 12
      - and... - Mel Profit Oct 1, 11:29 11
        
        *sends their kids to public school, votes for people who make sure no one else gets public school* The list goes on and on. -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 11:47 3
        
        Did you mean "sends their kids to private school, votes against school vouchers"? - Dr.Vermin Oct 1, 12:25 2
        
        Oh, there are lots of votes against public schools. They happen at the local level and are votes against - TWuG Oct 1, 12:32
        
        I don't see the problem in that, as they are still paying for public schools. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 12:30
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        the latter seems to me to be more of a "I get mine first" attitude. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 12:28
        
        because there are so many out there who are the latter...that's worse. - Mel Profit Oct 1, 11:43 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        and... - znufrii Oct 1, 11:34 2
        
        and... -- (link) - znufrii Oct 1, 11:36 1
        
        my desire to set the entire thing alight is diminished. thank you. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 1, 11:40
  - yup. - znufrii Oct 1, 11:21

Just busted a box of Topps Heritage Minor League baseball. Ugh! - Jim Oct 1, 11:11 12
- Oof, that's a bad box. Sorry. -- nm - Krusty Oct 1, 11:13 4
  - why, he does not pay for it! -- nm - groiny Oct 1, 11:13 3
    - HEY, HEY, HEY!!! What I pay is neither here nor there! lol nm - Jim Oct 1, 11:17 1
      - PPDM -- nm - Epiphany Oct 1, 11:23
    - I didn't know that. - Krusty Oct 1, 11:15
- what is the Meyer selling for? - groiny Oct 1, 11:12 5
  - [deleted]
  - With shipping...$4-5 or so...actually more than the 2 autos...go figure. -- nm - Jim Oct 1, 11:14 3
    - put it aside for me, yo. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 1, 11:15 2
      - No problemo...yo! -- nm - Jim Oct 1, 11:36 1
        
        so $10 for groiny then. -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 11:37

So what are the pluses and minusus for States if they do there own exchange or go National -- nm - eag Oct 1, 11:10 6
- [deleted]
- This thingy from Idaho summarizes it nicely. Pluses (for the States) are control and jobs basically. Minuses (same) are the Feds dictate everything -- nm - decline Oct 1, 11:15 3
  - linky -- (link) - decline Oct 1, 11:16 2
    - Nice link! -- nm - mara Oct 1, 11:17 1
      - aside: How cool is it that the Idaho Governor is named Butch Otter? -- nm - decline Oct 1, 11:18
- I think it's just more flexible for a state to do their own. They can create it as a part of an existing state agency, as an independent public - mara Oct 1, 11:13
Did we watch we are men? Any good? -- nm - Amanda Oct 1, 11:08 1
- I honestly thought about watching it. Instead I watched the "I.F.T." episode and follow up of BB! -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 11:11
Margin Call, one of the best movies about the madness of our current financial structure, is on sale for $7.88 at Vudu this week. - David Oct 1, 11:04
