If You Could Meet

**Unchained** · May 22nd, 2005, 01:01 AM

If you could meet someone that you see on TV, and say a few words to them, who would it be and what would you say?

Easy one for me: AMW's John Walsh
I would tell him how much i respected his strength and conviction, how he turned his horrible personal tragedy into a mission that has captured hundreds of pieces of garbage. He is the ultimate example of making something wonderful happen out of a terrible circumstance.

The crew of Extreme Home Makeover.
They do some fantastic things for fantastic people.

What would I say to them? "How does it feel?"

Well as far as meeting some one from tv that I admire what they do I would have to say.....

Montel Williams, he is an inspiration to those of us that have MS, I admire him and hope that I can acheive some of the things in life that he has.

Now beyond the admiration comes a little of lust I guess, Adrian Paul from Highlander would also be someone, but in my defense lol, he does have a charity group that he is very active with called PEACE, and has recently been doing things like selling Highlander stuff to raise money for the Tsunami victims as well as families of those in Iraq. We will not get into what I would like to say to him lol.

I understand Montel is an advocate of medical-use marijuana.
I can't say I disagree with him, seeing the pain some MS patients endure (that no other medicine will relieve).

Don't do Mary Jane, but alcohol is a heckuva lot worse. Pot isn't a loaded weapon on the road.

Montel, good ol Montel, they tried to arrest him, until he pulled out his script for pot.
Never had to smoke any for mine, will make sure I have a script if I do lol

good point unchained...my main complaint with the government is the whole health care issue. As much as I hate to say this I wish we were more like Canada, health care for everyone. Plus if I am not mistaken most public colleges are free in cananda too?

Solution for nationwide healthcare coverage in the United States: one flat tax .17 on the dollar. Would you all be willing to pay that? I would in a heartbeat.

Just have to wonder how the system would be abused by the laziest of Americans...

But I suppose, all in all, I would also do it.

Show me a system without flaws, that cannot be abused. Let's see: How is our welfare system working out? (just an example) See any abuse? I can see where the potential for abuse would occur even with the flat tax plan. When Fast was running for pres, he introduced the .17 flat tax plan, complete with facts and figures of feasibility. I found it interesting.
