Nor should the same five people be attacking the character of anyone that 
disagrees with them. Which is what is going on V2020 for last almost year. 
Especially if they don't like 50% or plus of the conversation degrading and 
attacking one group of people in our community.

Well, Ms. Huskey, perhaps if you ever become the victim of sharp wit and 
character assignation through humor, you might change your mind on the 
kindness of this venue of attack. I personally would rather get hit with a 
stone than be on the sharp end of some painful cruel language presented on 
websites and V2020 pointed at Wilson or anyone that so much as says hi to 
him. Bruises heal, but words burn forever.

If you believe that silence on an issue is assent, then you must agree with 
the decision of Gritman and UI to cut off 25% of the population from 
adequate health care so the other 75% could get great care, because I 
haven't heard anything about this issue for you other than how great the 
facilities have become for you since this action was taken.


Take care,
