OT, indeed, Joe. I think any self-respecting newspaper (of which there are not many) would place your comment under editorial or opinion rather than under reporting, which is supposed to be factual. Your opinion is completely one sided, and is lacking context of why each side was supporting such legislation and other side was opposing it. The same could be said of every bit of OT political ranting that's been going on here recently. Or maybe you have the standard political definition of "objective" == sources you agree with, "biased" == those you disagree with. Whatever.

OT RE: "would place your comment under editorial or opinion rather than under reporting, which is supposed to be factual." I agree my comment (about the factual information) is an opinion, and I agree the factual information of my post would be better suited for the reporting section, ssuming my post was separated into two parts: fact part & opinion part. RE: "Your opinion is completely one sided" As it is presented, it appears to be one-sided. When I've already done my analysis/homework on a topic, I draw a bottom-line conclusion (which is what you were reading). Before I draw conclusions, I tend to ask questions, search out the pros/cons of both sides, and then draw conclusions. I did my research on this back around 1993, so you were reading my bottom-line conclusion. RE: "is lacking context" Just curious: did you feel empathy for what happened to the administrative assistance? I'm definitely not saying this is the case, but I'm curious if your preference for a particular party, in any way made you less empathetic to the circumstances? RE: "of why each side was supporting such legislation and other side was opposing it." On a somewhat related note, when I looked into this back around 1993, I was quite intrigued with the analysis of the higher "back-end" costs of health care that this country has when compared to one country that has a streamlined and cost-effective solution -- the assertion was back-end costs are lower when certain types of coverage laws are in place (specifically, the ones they were trying to pass at the time, and which did pass).
