    2. Uninsured: ditto.

    3. Currently insured: get worrying.

    4. I don't have a litmus test for judges, except when it comes to abortion.

    5. Bill Ayers is irrelevant- let's still talk about him!

    6. I have no idea what socialism is, but it was a bad word when I was young, so I'm going to keep saying it.

    4) What exactly did you mean by the term "that one"?

    5) So a simple "yes" or "no" please- should health care be a commodity???
