If Comey writes a memo after talking to the president then wouldn't all the memos he wrote after talking with Obama be relevant? After all if Obama was spying on Trump or if Obama talk/colluded with the Russians or if Obama gave the Russians any classified information shouldn't this be made public??? Let's see ALL of Comey's memos. Congress should subpoena 100% of Comeys memos and any and everything he did at the FBI. It appears that Comey broke numerous laws AND that he conspired with Obama to spy on a presidential candidate for the purpose of interfering in our elections.

It has also been stated by the Obama administration that they taped visits to the oval office so lets subpoena all of that as well.

What Obama did was relevant because he and his staff had contact with Russia too.

It is a myth that evidence in an on going investigation cannot be made public. Of course it can.

Obama spied on a candidate for the presidency, a citizen of America. This was stated by Comey and it is illegal

"Illegal" An interesting word since it seems that nothing that Trump or his staff have done has been found to be illegal. But spying on Trump by Obama was illegal.

Well rewrite history!!! Find some minorities who might have been there, perhaps janitors or maids, and rewrite the history and make it appear that they founded the university. After all didn't a recent movie expose the hidden fact that three female African Americans singlehandedly ran NASA and saved the program from those stupid white men? Surely they can tear down those pictures of old dead white men and replace them with the true founders and builders of this soon to be great institution (who just happen to be black).

Understand that it is inherent in internet software that it allows those writing code to do almost anything. NOT inherent in Microsoft or PC but in the common software used for the internet. This problem exists with Apple and Linux too. BUT there are so few Apple and Linux computers that the hackers go for the larger audience and THAT is why it is always the PC and Microsoft.

If the industry wanted to they could prevent the internet from changing anything on your computer. They could prevent this particular hack from encrypting your data. They could prevent other hacks from downloading your data. BUT the liberal and powerful code allows the "user" (in this case the companies who write the apps, NOT YOU) to pretty much do anything. That is what those companies want even though it makes the internet prone to hacking.

You remember the popups that advertises use to sell their products and you are forced to watch or deal with? Those are part of the ability of the code exactly so that the "USERS" (again not you) can advertise and force you to endure it. So you get a popup blocker, right!! Well surely you have noticed that the popup blockers don't always work. Why? Because the code allows the "users" to write code that bypasses your blocker. Why? Because the code creator and the code user wants complete control. They know and always knew that this ability would allow hackers to take complete control as well but they do not care. They do not care now either. They don't care that they are complicit in this problem BECAUSE there is so much confusion and misinformation that everyone thinks this couldn't be fixed OR that it is Microsoft's problem. (Well in a way it is Microsoft's problem because they create and sell some of the software in question.)

The problem is that the Internet is not safe. It has never been safe. But with every passing year and every new internet coding language it has become less safe. And that is because that is what they wanted. ("they" being everyone involved in the physical hardware and coding of the internet.)

Yes and no. I to pay for all my dental. My dentist is not one of the cheapo outfits. My dental health is pretty good, at age 73 I have all my teeth (except my wisdom teeth). I have half a dozen crowns. Those old silver amalgam fillings do not last, they become loose, they allow bacteria to get underneath them, sometimes if they are large they actually act like a wedge when you chew and will break your teeth. When they must be replaced often a crown is the best way. BUT it's not unusual to need a root canal a few months after a crown. So that's $1200-1800 for a crown and $800-$1500 for a root canal. This is almost inevitable for 95% of us as we age. If you don't have the same conditions I described yet I will bet you are under age 40 or 50 or so. Just wait.

What most people do is since they cannot afford it they do nothing until it is so painful the tooth must be pulled. Then another one, etc. Then other problems and generally bad tooth and gum health follows. Yes this is what "most" people do. They then must suffer with it or get dentures.

I am not advocating for subsidized dental insurance BUT I do think some dental work should be covered under our health insurance. Perhaps not 100%, maybe 50%. But make no mistake when you need a root canal you will not be open to the argument that dental health is not "health".

I am not arguing with you are trying to dispute what you said. I would actually be perfectly happy with no subsidized health care of any kind; dental, mental or health in general. My point is simply: That we all, or the vast majority of us will, have dental problems and that dental care is expensive and directly affects our health. To not include dental care in health insurance while including gender reassignment and other oddities as though it were "health" related makes no sense.

Believe my I take no offense about my age as part of the discussion after all I brought it up. My point there was simply to point out what probably a lot of people never think about until they get old and that is your teeth will deteriorate over time even with regular care and thinking like the man who jumped off the Empire State building and as he fell past the tenth floor said "well, so far so good".
