Wife: Got an email forwarded that went on for two pages about all of the bad things that will happen when the tax cuts expire, like if you own a business worth more than a million dollars, and you have stocks, you're going to have to pay more on taxes.
Me: Did you congratulate whomever forwarded it on having so much money that this is going to be a consideration for them?
Wife: No, I said that one of the things thats going to happen is health care reform that will let me buy insurance even with an existing medical condition, not to mention buy it for my adult daughter if she can't get it right away.
Me: They'd probably be against that, too. If you believe any of that, you believe all of it....and no proof will matter.
During the election, there was a web site where Obama people specifically addressed lies and distortions. Would that something like that existed now. On either side of a Great Question. Put it out there, in black and white, clearly, with proof. And then move on. Like the old joke about the guy telling jokes in prison, just refer to 'Item 27', or whatever, on the site, when someone brings up an issue again.
I'm really an optimist, aren't I?
