To Kill a Mockingbird is there is because it's been challenged, often successfully, because of its racism.
Really? Wow, I must re-read it. Racist against Southern white trash?

can be used to keep bankrupts and other swindlers living in "manner they have become accustomed"
Whilst there is no doubt some bankrupts are swindlers and vice versa this phrase is very unfortunate. People go bankrupt for many reasons are most are not due to swindling.
As a business owner I am also pretty sensitive to the risks one runs as a business grows and clients' insist on contracts that load huge risks and liabilities in a one way direction. Having mitigation strategies such as insurance and trusts is not swindling, it is the only sane, rational approach.

All this episode has done is highlight the fact that age is no barrier to the condition he objects to.
QED.

The sad thing about "the crazies" is the cynical way people are being stirred up and manipulated. The Health lobby and the Republicans know *exactly* what they are doing and believe in none of the allegations that are being bandied about.
The sadder thing is that what occurs in the US will, inevitably end up here. For example:
Buddy, can you spare me an "h"?

Can I just ask, before anyone gets their bitch on and calls for the coaches to be sacked,
My taxi driver on Saturday says Todd Blackadder. I'm sure Tracy Nelson has the stats to back him up.

But given the choice between a school reunion and brain surgery, Sharon was completely right. I will go to great lengths.
Totally. A complete no-brainer.

I was thinking about Obama telling Congress he had no time for tire kickers and liars. This came to mind:
He is beautiful, are "they" ashamed yet?
