These people are feverish in their beliefs. I'd think that these people are themselves insurance company plants, but they're well known older conservative gadflies in the area. It's just incomprehensible to me the amount of Fox News /Talk radio propaganda they're willing to buy, hook, line and sinker.

I get your point, but sign me up for what Mawnck said about him. By now, DB needs to earn some respect after all he's done here and the way in which he's done it. Moreover, he doesn't have the courage of his convictions to stay and debate in his own words. <a href="http://www.johnspeedie.com/healy/chicken.wav" target="_blank">http://www.johnspeedie.com/hea...cken.wav</a>

Apparently so far he's done that, although I'm sure he lurks.
