    TODAY'S REFLECTION:

    A BILLION

    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising
    agency did a good job of putting the figure into perspective in one of its
    releases:

    A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

    A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

    A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

    A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes ... at the rate
    Washington spends them.


    Wow....

    money

    US military budget for day-to-day operations this year: ~360 Billion
    Estimated additional cost due to the war:~ estimated at 62.6 billion..but all costs unknown...trying to use money from Iraqi oil to offset costs highly unlikely due to world opinion

    Just a little more money info.

    Estimated costs for a comprehensive universal healthcare coverage that would cover working americans not currently insured thanks to their scum-sucking, millions of dollar a year earning company CEOs....between 100-150 billion dollars.

    In Michigan alone, the financial loss to hospitals due to the uninsured was 1.5 billion dollars in 2000. Factor in 49 other states. What about employers losses due to sick workers?

    things that make you go hmmmmmm

      Ain't inflation a witch? 8)
      Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
      With fingernails that shine like justice
      And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
