EEDIT.Frankly, as an individual, I'd really like to pay taxes on my actual
     .*profit*, instead of my basic income, like a corporation does! Who
     .wouldn't? (I've been itemizing since 1969 myself, including Schedule C for
     .my home business, and it just ain't the same..)

But isn't this the same thing as the corporation deducting its legit
expenses to reduce its taxable income?  You itemize to reduce your
taxable income, too.  What is your profit?  Revenue minus expenses; the
congress allows certain loopholes, of course, that vary according to the
type of 'expense', but otherwise, basically the same.  So the rich have
more expenses, and obviously attempt to spend in areas that are also tax
advantages, reducing their taxable income as much as possible.  What am
I missing here?

Todd

Why?  Is the quote above an example of why you fear him.  Data on ozone
depletion SOUNDS real, and skin cancer rates are on the rise are they not?
I saw somewhere that one good sunburn when you are a child dramatically
raises the chances for skin cancer.  With depleted ozone, it is probably
even more important to be worried about exposure.  Gore's statement
sounds fairly responsible to me.

Sure.  They are assuming risk, but not agreeing to it!  There is a
difference.  I walk across the street against the lights, and am hit by a

Back when the Eastern Block was communist, I was the guest of various 
National Academies of Science.  I visited quite a few eastern block countries.

Nothing strengthened my belief in the American System as much as visiting
these countries.

Nothing weakened my belief in the American System as much as watching

Because it's well written, intelligent, and entertaining all in the same
book? Meanwhile Gore's book is stodgily-written (at best), makes sweeping
generalizations and pronouncements without backing them up, and is flawed
philosophically as well as scientifically. (For example, Gore complains about
how the world has only 50 million stone age people now; he seems to think that 
these people should be condemned to backwardness and that it would be a crime
to have them enter the 20th Century.)

Well, you keep on telling yourself that and maybe you'll eventually believe 
it. It would be just another example of how some people refuse to accept
reality even when it stares them in the face. Meanwhile, the people who 
listen to Rush will continue to have an effect on politics, pushing back
the liberalism that has infected society so much.

	I would think that it would help small business, by making it 
easier to compete for employees. There are numerous pitfalls for a small
business regarding heath care, mostly due to the group size. It costs more
for small groups, and a single major illness can dramaticly affect costs
for the entire group. Small business gets the advantage of supplying all
of their employess with health care at a fixed cost - what a bargin, since
you ahve to make a whole lot of money before health insurance drops below
7% of your income. Low paying jobs become instantly more attractive when
health costs are eliminated.

	I'm still waiting for a republican (or anybody else) to explain
why health insurance should be attached to my job. Why, for example, should
I have to get a new doctor when I get a new job (and a new HMO)?

	Rep. Bob Dornan has been speaking on C-Span in the House
   live concerning Bill Clinton and his anti-war, anti-Vietnam
   protests during his college days.

       Most specificly, in 1970, Bill Clinton was invited to go
   to Moscow to be part of the so called "Peace Movement".  During
   this time period, an American in the former Soviet Union had to
   be invited by the Communist govt., and they had to have prior
   knowledge or provide instruction on where he may travel along
   with what he may say while in the former Soviet Union.

	This is the same Bill Clinton who, while at Oxford, sought
   information on either obtaining dual citizenship or obtaining
   British citizenship.

	Is this the individual the American people should send to
   The White House?

	Rep. Bob Dornan should be addressing the house again this
   weekend.  I urge those concerned about what I have briefly outlined
   here to call:

   UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
   WASHINGTON, D.C. 20515

   (202) 224-3121

	Your can either ask for Rep. Dornan's office or staff, or attempt
   to reach your own.  This information must be presented to the American
   public, and the events which occurred there must be researched and
   addressed by Bill Clinton.

And, asked if he could provide some substantive proof of his allegations,
Mr. Dornan admitted he could not, but suggested that his "gut feelings"
compelled him to continue them.

I watched Mr. Dornan's blatherings for nearly an hour. The difference 
between Bob Dornan and Rush Limbaugh seems to be that, on occasion, 
Rush has some degree of credibility.

With folks like Bob Dornan helping out in this presidential campaign, 
no wonder the whole Republican party is on the skids.

Tom Jefferson wouldn't like this. Not at all.
