Actually the only question is who should pay for it.

I disagree. One way or another, society does pay, and society means every last one of us via taxes, insurance premiums, and quality of life in the US.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, Dana. What's a "trot"?:confused:

Cicero 10-09-2007 12:51 PM

Trotsky?

*chuckles* that wasn't a hi-jack, that was the heart of the issue.


A 'Trot' is a trotskyist. It's generally used as an insult (sometimes affectionately, or alternatively with venom) by left-wingers of those they consider too far left to be sensible.....or that they just want to insult, it's a bit of a catch all. On the other hand it's also a slightly admiring term used by left-wingers describing some well-loved rabble rouser...or as a slightly self-effacing way of waving your left wing credentials, as in "Yeah, well i was a bit of a trot back then..."

I'm guessing that wasn't really that helpful huh? *smiles*
