I've wondered if Axl is grooming Izzy to try and get him to perform/write on his next record.  He no doubt knows how crucial Izzy was to the song writing, plus maybe he figures it will buy him a bit more legitimacy by having him there.

If Ron were to leave I wonder if the position would be offered to Izzy.  Whether he would accept or not who knows, but then I wouldn't have expected Izzy to tag around with them like he has been.  So maybe if the $$'s are right...

Who takes infants and kids to a fucking midnight showing of Batman though?

So the gov't thought the twin towers wasn't quite enough, let's blow up some random building that didn't get directly hit by a plane?  That's the most compelling case for the conspiracy theorists?

Here's what's going to happen:

People will blow off buying insurance until they need it.  IF they get caught, they will pay a small fee.  If they wait until they need it (cancer or a bad accident), they will gladly pay the "tax" then purchase insurance and promptly spend 100K+ on whatever happened - they won't be denied since there is no preexisting clause anymore.  Then they will drop coverage again, so they will be taking from insurance, but only paying in a little bit while they use much more than they are putting in.  This law is simply going to destroy the private insurance industry AND make insurance so expensive that NOBODY will be able to afford it because we will ALL be paying for the people scamming the system.  The process will repeat when the gov't takes over after this bill destroys the industry and nobody will be able to afford it or the country will go bankrupt.  This isn't solving anything, but it sure is creating a lot of problems. 

This is like allowing people on their death bed to purchase $1,000,000 in life insurance for $15/month.  Think about that for a bit and how there's NO WAY THIS CAN WORK.

Come up with something that fixes things and I will support it 100%.  Forcing this pile of crap illegally down our throats is unacceptable.
