(A whole bunch of socialist crap) Nathan: look at it this way: it's evolution in action. Except these days the ability to earn money is one of the requirements of staying alive for longer periods of time. If Bob can't afford daily bread, than Bob has far more serious concerns than being able to pay for healthcare. Yes, it's too bad, and yes he may die, but that's what evolution is about. Money has aritificially become a requirement of guaranteeing survival. Sorry, no, I won't pay for Bob's bread nor his healthcare (unless I personally chose to do so.) Force me (and everyone else who is able to earn money) to do so at the point of a gun in the form of taxes and it becomes a far greater crime. Yes, there are charities who may help Bob, and donations to these are and should remain purely voluntary. We're not commiepunks, and we're not socialistpunks. We're cypherpunks. -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear. You don't /|\ \|/ :aren't security.
