We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

In all seriousness, once I started forwarding such scam e-mails to the local FBI office, I quit receiving them. Dunno why, don't care. Works for me.

I have a friend who fell for one of these. He went to Nigeria and left with nothing but his huge relief to get out alive. I believe he dropped about $100,000. (That was before I knew him. He was an art major.)
