If cable packages weren't $463279.63 a month, more people would have it. I remember getting basic cable on one TV when I got married in 1990 and my mother-in-law told me the $19.99 a month was "extravagant." Now, my cable/internet is more than my first car payment.

God, I hope not! My lupus is in remission; it's a real bitch to deal with when it's active.

This guy is a troll, I know, but it still hurts. And if this kind of crap still hurts me, as a 9/11 survivor who amazingly lost no one that day, I cannot imagine the kind of agony to which these assholes subject the families of the Sandy Hook victims. It's cruel and it should be criminal.
