I have to admit that my more current concern (considering that my Mother is
in terribly failing health, my Dad is 79, and that our business is based
largely on outpatient respiratory therapy) is that Medicaid, in Missouri, is
apparently cutting coverage of the provision of oxygen (concentrators,
portable
systems, etc -- can't breath and don't have money? you're screwed) and
hospice
care.
I won't say what I think of Matt Blount.

Various appeals via e-mail ('pass it on') to save PBS, the NEA, etc.,
began circulating in 1995. Until last week, they were all well-meaning
hoaxes, so to speak. However, even if at the time, these rumors were
baseless, 'Sometimes,' as Hume said, 'Chicken Little is right.'
