>>If you go into an emergency room with a gunshot wound and cancer they will treat the one that is more noticeable before moving on to the less evident problem. The ER doctor probably is not going to address the cancer. He will patch you up and advise you to see an oncologist. Either can kill you, but one is obvious to the casual observer. Of course if you were a Democrat you would say the gunshot wound was not a problem.<< Peter - We'll have to agree to disagree about whether Bush should ever adjust his priorities based on new information. I keep hearing conservatives say that Democrats think there is no problem with Social Security. That seems to be a distortion. Democrats have been saying that there's no emergency, and we don't have to act as if there is one. It makes sense to me to take a measured approach to the problem instead of trying to ram a particular agenda through quickly because of a trumped-up emergency. - Allen
