I'm as close to atheist as they come but I really don't see anything wrong with the words on his memorial. They were his beliefs and it really doesn't sound like this memorial is forcing them on anyone.

To you naysayers: I've lost two jobs through no fault of my own since the beginning of 2008. I lost the last one last November. I was making good money. However, I've been unemployed for almost a year now and my savings are gone! Why shouldn't I be able to get healthcare? I've been without insurance for a whole year. What happens when I get into a car accident or something?
.
I don't understand why all of you that are so far against healthcare for poor people don't like this program? It's helping people gain coverage where they otherwise could not. Of course there are still going to be those that mooch off the system. It's inevitable. But the majority of the people that need to utilize BadgerCare Plus are just like me. Ones that WANT to work but just can't even find a job.
.
Seriously... what do you have against other people being healthy????????

As a business owner, did he not insure himself? Why are they having a benefit when this was clearly his fault? It's not like his business is closed. Park Place is a pretty busy establishment...
.
I'm glad the guy's alive, but there are consequences to all actions, no matter how stupid they are. I agree with janesvillean: A hard way to learn an obvious lesson.
.
I can't say I'll be attending the "benefit". I'd rather donate to those with cancer, AIDS, MS, or any other disease. They didn't cause their disease. Mr. Russell did this to himself. He's paid a high price but he has no one to blame but himself.

JohnDoe: I'm not the one complaining about this Domestic Partner registry. You are. I suggest you stick with your homework. While you're at it, you may want to check out history.

JohnDoe: That's just one more thing that makes this DIFFERENT than marriage.
.
Another: You're still more than welcome to teach your children whatever "values" you want. And, even though you don't want to believe it, "values" that oppress and discriminate ARE bigoted values. As far as your children being taught things by other people than you, then that's a parenting fault. I went to school in Janesville for my entire upbringing (and I'm under 30) and NOT ONCE were the students in any of the classes I was in taught about heterosexuality or homosexuality. You're misguided and hiding behind your insistence that us big bad gays are going to teach your children to be gay, too. Sorry. You're wrong. I was born this way (just as heterosexuals are born gay!). Get over yourself, get over your bigotry, and start learning the true values of love, acceptance and happiness for all. It would behoove you to do this now. You never know when your child, brother, sister, etc. could work up the courage to tell you they are gay. Would you want your own child to be oppressed?

JohnDoe: Please elaborate on what right this gives beyond any rights a married couple already has.
.
Brewernut: What gives the public and voters the right to make decisions for me when I'm dying when my husband should be the one doing it? What Wisconsin citizens voted on allowed discimination to be written into our Constitution. What a sad day that was to have discrimination become a state value. In this day and age, would we ban interracial marriage? Would we bar a white woman from making end of life decisions for her black male spouse? Doing so is tantamount to bigotry. Denying committed gay couples the same right is also bigotry. Please stay out of my life and business. I don't tell you who you can love.

Forgive any misspellings... I'm typing from my phone.

That's pretty funny, Sandman. You sound like you're offended and claim that the domestic partner registry is discriminatory to straight couples. Well, I'm pretty offended that the Wisconsin's definition of marriage is discriminatory to ME!
.
Pot meet kettle.
.
Oh, and don't worry, I got my marriage in Iowa. A progressive state that isn't filled with bible-thumping, hateful, right-wing extreme "Christians" like you appear to be.
.
And I have a question for you... Every time you have sex, are you procreating? I didn't think so. You probably don't use condoms and admonish birth control, too, don't you?

fromjanesville2republican: Just be glad you've got a job, buddy. You can get off your horse, now because next time you may not find yourself so lucky. And, to answer your question, it would be reflected in your taxes and would be minute. Get over it. Everyone deserves the right to be healthy.
