RE: Expanding skill sets - So, what's next?
I did a .NET project last year - customization of a DotNetNuke install, so I wasn't writing anything from scratch. I was struck by how how many choices I had in everything from hosting to pre-developed components.

RE: Expanding skill sets - So, what's next?
Ruby on Rails is next on my list ... I'm tired of losing business to people who just flat-out refuse to switch hosting to one that uses CF or won't shell out the bucks for a copy of CF ... I really should, in that case, learn PHP, but I just can't bring myself to do it for some unknown ridiculous rebellious reason ... same with .NET Ruby looks more interesting to me, an important factor in motivating me to learn anything new. If you don't want to completely switch gears from CF to learn a new language, sharpening up on Flex would be most beneficial, IMHO.

Re: Differences between Obama and Hillary
Here are the major problems with any health care plan. 1. The outrageous profiteering of the insurance industry. 2. The outrageous profiteering of the health care industry 3. The lobbying of congress by said industries to make sure their profit machine does not go away. 4. The level of fraud infesting both industries when dealing with the consumer and with government programs. 5. Any proposed program would create a bureaucracy that would cost more than the health care costs Until you fix those, any universal health care program will fail. In fact, if those problems aren't addressed soon, the existing health care system is going to collapse under its own weight. I've spent most of my 30 plus year career writing software and doing management consulting in the insurance and health care industries. Both of them are rotten to the core.

Re: Super Tuesday MADNESS!
Rehashing old nonsense? I'm guessing your talking about this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/13/AR2005101301688.html George W. Bush and the G-Word By Al Kamen Friday, October 14, 2005; Page A17 The reemergence of the controversy that President Bush allegedly told Palestinian leaders that God told him to invade Afghanistan and then Iraq is not the only time that his comments regarding God have sparked confusion. In July 2004, he stopped to campaign with some Amish folks at Lapp Electric Service in Smoketown, Pa. Just as the meeting ended, Bush, according to Mennonite Weekly Review columnist Jack Brubaker, told the group: I trust God speaks through me. Without that I couldn't do my job. This also produced White House denials that Bush used those words. Loop Fans will recall that the Palestinian kerfuffle began in June 2003, when an Israeli paper reported that former Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas said Bush told the Palestinian leaders: God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam Hussein, which I did. The White House declined to clarify, but the Israeli reporter at the time read what he said were the Palestinians' minutes of the meeting to an Arabic-speaking colleague here. Our colleague's translation was different: God inspired me to hit al Qaeda, and so I hit it. And I had the inspiration to hit Saddam, and so I hit him. Substantially different, we felt. Moreover, this is Abbas's account in Arabic of what Bush said in English, written down by a note-taker in Arabic and then put back into English. The newest uproar was sparked by a BBC documentary airing this week in which Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath says Bush said during that meeting that he was driven with a mission from God. President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq. . . . And I did. This sounds much like the original Haaretz version. Bush then allegedly said God had now told him to go get the Palestinians their state. This time there is a response: We checked contemporaneous notes from the meeting with President Abbas and did not find a single reference to God, a senior administration official told us. The closest thing we could find that the president said is: 'My government and I personally are committed to the vision of a Palestinian state.' Back in 2004, a White House spokesman told Mennonite Weekly columnist Brubaker that Bush likely talked about his own faith, as he often does, but did not say God speaks through him. Brubaker, in a follow-up column, said he checked with his source, an Amish reporter, who rechecked with attendees and had gotten different wording from several of them. But Bush has said similar things on other occasions, Brubaker noted, citing B ob Woodward's Plan of Attack, where Bush says he's surely not going to justify the war based on God . . . Nevertheless . . . I pray I be as good a messenger of his will as possible. 'Messenger of his will [or] God speaks through me,' Brubaker wrote. The difference seems rather fine. The question is, how is it that Bush so confuses groups as diverse as the Palestinians and the Amish? Is it the Andover-Texas accent?

Yes a gamble but the odds were in my favor. Except for all my near death experiences skiing, rock climbing and surfing. I always assumed it was all or nothing, dead or still walking. As for affording it, I'm talking about many jobs going away because business have to provide insurance and smaller shops will have to cut someplace.

Re: Differences between Obama and Hillary
That's even worse than I could ever fathom, and inexcusable. And precisely why someone needs to step in and do something... It's amazing how bad it has gotten so quickly. Health problems are now the number one cause of bankruptcy...and that's among people that *have* health insurance. Costs for the self-insured are rising so fast that more and more can't afford if (if they are even able to get coverage) and if you get sick at all you can expect your premium to shoot up the following year (mine went up by about $400 this year due to one trip to the emergency room last year...my only medical expense last year other than one or two normal wellness visits.) You hear more and more stories of people denied coverage for important tests or treatments, and people that can't afford the medicine due to the overwhelming cost of prescription drugs. I personally suffer with reflux and should be on one of the newer drugs but the cost is about $100/month for me, so make due with Prilosec even though it's no longer effective for me. Likewise my eye doctor would like me to try Restasis for dry eye...that one was $200 for a month supply! I'll make due with eye drops, thank you. These aren't the kinds of sacrifices well-employed, middle-class people should have to make, but we do.

Re: The Fairtax Book
A regressive tax system does not mean and likely would not result in low income earners paying more taxes than the wealthy, only that the effective tax rate relative to income or consumption would be a larger tax burden to low income earners. Given the definition on the Wikipedia page, the effect of which is summed up by the above quote, a regressive tax is extremely appealing to me. It means that the more I make, the less tax affects me. That's hellabetter than being taxed more (in terms of %) just because I'm more successful than I was the year before. Gives me even more motivation to better my income.

Re: The Fairtax Book
I am not sure why Adam thinks you are arguing intelligently. To me it seems as though I am having a discussion about economics with someone who knows nothing about the subject and does not want to learn. I do not think that a progressive tax rate is generally considered a subsidy. But supposing it was: In many instances, economics may (somewhat counter-intuitively) suggest that direct subsidies are preferable to other forms of support, such as hidden subsidies or trade barriers; although subsidies may be inefficient, they are often less inefficient than other policy tools used to benefit certain groups. Direct subsidies may also be more transparent, which may allow the political process more opportunity to eliminate wasteful hidden subsidies. This problem - that hidden subsidies are more inefficient, but often favored precisely because they are non-transparent - is central to the political-economy of subsidies. Examples of industries or sectors where subsidies are often found include utilities, gasoline in the United States, welfare, farm subsidies, and (in some countries) certain aspects of student loans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidy On Feb 8, 2008 6:41 PM, Cameron Childress [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for replying to my definition of a subsidy with a definition of regressive taxes.

Re: The Fairtax Book
I think that moderation is the key to this as to many other things. As best I recall Britain reached a point where its top tax rate was over 90% -- this was back in the 70s, and that is why people like Mick Jagger and John Lennon moved elsewhere. Clearly, such a tax structure is a disincentive to increased earnings. However, if you tax everyone at 20% -- let's say -- this is a much greater burden on some people than on others.

Re: Differences between Obama and Hillary
I'd like to mention that I spent a week in the hospital, after surgery, because a cat scratched me. It happened to have some sort of bizarre flesh-eating bacteria on its claw. The bill for that, had I not had coverage, could have been in the $15,000 range and that does not include tthe surgery and the CAT scan they did because they thought I might be getting a blood clot. There's a random five-figure medical bill for you On Feb 7, 2008 7:47 PM, Erika L.

I take Nexium, yeah, it is about $180 for a month's supply, and that is at WalMart. With coverage, I am still paying 30, which I cough up because the consequences of not taking it scare me.

It's amazing how bad it has gotten so quickly. Health problems are now the number one cause of bankruptcy...and that's among people that *have* health insurance. Costs for the self-insured are rising so fast that more and more can't afford if (if they are even able to get coverage) and if you get sick at all you can expect your premium to shoot up the following year (mine went up by about $400 this year due to one trip to the emergency room last year...my only medical expense last year other than one or two normal wellness visits.) You hear more and more stories of people denied coverage for important tests or treatments, and people that can't afford the medicine due to the overwhelming cost of prescription drugs. I personally suffer with reflux and should be on one of the newer drugs but the cost is about $100/month for me, so make due with Prilosec even though it's no longer effective for me. Likewise my eye doctor would like me to try Restasis for dry eye...that one was $200 for a month supply! I'll make due with eye drops, thank you.

Well, nobody is running on legalization, Tony, and drug courts at least make an attempt to offer treatment to people who need it rather than just throwing them in the slammer.
