   seems like the healthcare industry is preying on the weak…

   I think it may be more appropriate to say they are PRAYING on the weak!

   A quick post about yesterday’s comments, I think BD has always felt very bad for Melissa’s treatment in the Army, an organization he has always been very proud of. He gave her the purple heart candy to let her know that he recognizes her heroism in a bad situation and that not all men in the higher ranks are bad and that there are really good guys out there. And that there is a man she can trust again. I think his concern for her has been both a paternal and comrade concern. I don’t think there has ever been a sexual issue there, that would be contradictory to his chivalrous side. I think he is surprised that she is willing to go back so soon and is maybe embarrassed that he misjudged how strong a woman she really is.

   I have always really enjoyed Melissa’s character and really hope that we see more of her. A strong female character not willing to be the victim forever and rescuing herself instead of waiting for others to do it for her is rare in this world. I hope we see her successes when she gets back into the “sandbox.” As Margueritem said YOU GO GIRL!! Thank you Gary!

   @churchill_ It’s a little late to get in the gun cabinet after I’m dead. IMO, Trying to prevent violent acts before the acts makes more sense than to wait until after the clean-up.

   @curiosity-many excellent points. I too am a pacifist. I agree that guns are a tool to be used for positive and useful means, e.g. food procurement, self- protection from dangerous animals (real ones, the four-legged kind). I hadn’t thought about the personal lifestyle vs gun cabinet angle before. As a pacifist my “weapon” is a pen and as such useful for legislation, however, my personal life, or pen, generally doesn’t kill anyone. But when a fanatic decides he/she doesn’t like my lifestyle or the way I look, then decides to use gun violence to reflect that opinion, then I think I do have a good reason for getting into their gun cabinet. If I have to promote legislation for more strict laws to help some people be more responsible for their own behavior then I guess I have to. In a perfect world there would be no need to “make” people be responsible, but we do not have a perfect world. I wish there was an answer to this problem, everyone here has made great points and so far it seems we are all in agreement, that there isn’t an easy answer.
