Blogthot:A simple way to stir things up is to compare apples to oranges and then stand back. Maybe something will happen. Propose an adult hyena as the ideal pet. Consider the advantages of living underwater all the time. Pretend to speak only some foreign language and insist everyone else do the same.

"This peculiar brand of egalitarianism suggests that people should not be denied service because of their own inability to pay, but should be denied access because of their neighbour's inability or unwillingness to pay (through taxes) for the care an individual decides he or she needs."

Gosh, who is this John Zogby I keep hearing about? How come everyone is always talking about his polls and whatnot? I coud do that. I could claim my "polls" (i.e., the handful of people I run into that day) show what the whole world is thinking. I was wondering about this and then found an explanation:
"John Zogby also joined Noam Chomsky and other anti-Israel extremists in signing a 1978 New York Times ad that called for U.S. recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization. At the time, the PLO openly called for the destruction of Israel and regularly carried out terrorist attacks, such as the March 1978 Tel Aviv Highway massacre in which 37 people were killed, including Gail Rubin, niece of U.S. Senator Abraham Ribicoff."
So it looks as if there might be some sort of agenda or something with this Zogby. It may well be he has his own personal outlook, etc.
