Contribution to a political party is not commerce (and it is already regulated so what's your point).<br /><br />Unless you are born in a log cabin without the assistance of a care provider of some sort, never see a doctor, never suffer a disease or injury, never go to a school that requires vaccinations, and die instantly, you WILL require and use health care.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-90124307146377357382012-04-23T21:30:01.887-05:002012-04-23T21:30:01.887-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-54930185415615547912012-04-22T23:48:50.581-05:002012-04-22T23:48:50.581-05:00So Jim, you believe the Federal Government can mak...So Jim, you believe the Federal Government can make you buy a car? Can make you buy a house? Can make you contribute to a political party?

I actually don't think I meet the definition of "troll".<br /><br />Tell you what. Why don't you decide?<br /><br />Meanwhile, does your pharmacist mix up the chemicals for your prescriptions in his basement or his garage? Was the MRI in your local clinic produced in your hometown? Are the syringes, blood pressure cuffs, bandages, urine specimen cups, and tongue depressors all made in your state? How about the computers in the doctor's office and the software they run on to keep your records and appointments? Ever travel outside the state? Anybody visiting your state ever require medical services?<br /><br />Is the annual flu vaccine manufactured in your state? How about your other vaccinations? How about all those posters about nerves, arthritis, spinal health, vascular illustration? Designed and printed in your state?<br /><br />Do they manufacture ambulances in your state? X-Ray machines? Are cancer cures and treatments created in your state? Dialysis machines? Sonogram machines? Is the mail order prescription service you use based in your state?<br /><br />Do I need to go on? Is the manufacture, packaging, delivery of all this stuff not entail exchange of money? Is this not commerce?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-20789415522109957542012-04-22T18:20:21.283-05:002012-04-22T18:20:21.283-05:00Deek, "Jim" is a troll who is remarkably...Deek, "Jim" is a troll who is remarkably obtuse by choice.

His only links are to the Constitution, which I have demonstrated above, easily refutes the key element of his argument.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.com
