Dianne:  Why do you doubt they cannot enforce this new health insurance law?  I 
believe that many will get socked with stiff tax penalties.

Spraying people with poisons is absolutely atrocious.  what on earth are they 
thinking and why are they doing it?

  Not only are they passing ridiculous laws I doubt they can enforce in 
Massachusetts, in California they are spraying people with poisons.  Snip of 
article:  On September 9th, 2007 several planes hired by the State of 
California Food and Agricultural Department (CDFA) flying at an altitude of 
approximately 500ft sprayed the untested biochemical, CheckMate®OLR-F, on over 
30,000 citizens in Monterey and other surrounding cities in California.  Many 
got sick from this.

    Yes it is.  The Legislature drew up the law and the Governor, Deval 
Patrick, signed it into law.

      This is nonsense.  There will be tens of THOUSANDS who cannot afford it.  
Health insurance costs between $200 and $1200 a MONTH for crying out loud.  
This is ridiculous on its face.

        Massachusetts (Taxachusetts) has made a new law starting July 1, 2007 
stating that all residents age 18 and over must have health insurance or face 
stiff tax penalties.   I don't have to worry about it because I already have 
insurance, but  I am outraged.

        This law preys upon the citizens to benefit the insurance industry.  I 
think this is unconstitutional, oppressive, and deplorable.  It is archaic, for 
crying out loud.

        I called a senator's office this morning and I was told that the whole 
country is going this way.   I don't believe that B.S. for one minute.  This is 
not progressive leadership, it is regressive.  This is hard-line taxation 
burdening the people.  

        I am just ripping, but I don't know what to do about it.  Any 
suggestions folks?
