In response to letter-writers

To the editor:

Elizabeth Della Piana, Jack Garvey and others have uttered the usual refrain from the left, i.e., "I want someone else to pay my bills." We now have a single-payer health care system; that is, I am the single payer for my family's health care. What others want, of course, is for me to be the single payer for their health care also. For those who want Canadian- or European-style health care, it is readily available — in Canada or Europe.

Regarding the Limbaugh controversy. Isn't it funny how some are so bothered by Limbaugh, yet have no problem with a left-winger like Keith Olberman hosting Sunday night football.

Finally with regard to the professor who was "appalled" at the lack of subservience at John "Taliban" Tierney's town hall meeting: Funny, I must have missed his letter decrying some of the rhetoric thrown at then President Bush.
