My husband forwarded this little gem to me about our Howard County COC and apparent "co-operatives". This excerpt is the piece de la resistance, telling us how wonderful co-ops are. Never mind communism is based on that, and is an utter failure in all regards.

Remember when HC was Republican and Rosco Bartlet was our rep in early 90s(pre-Bush) ? It’s like a million years away now

This looks to me just like a reworded version of allowing alternative providers...perhaps I’m misunderstanding it, or my new-dad brain (caused by an infant wanting to be awake at 3am) isn’t working right...

Being stuck in (pseudo-)Kolumbia I can never remember a Repub rep of any kind. Well, just Ecker, but that’s it.

WOW! The day after my George!

And “William Daniel” - makes me think of the actor, but especially John Adams. Like it!

Yes, he did! And his aunt even made it - fine - to the “party” despite her 1st chemotherapy treatment earlier that day (suddenly we’ve had lots of cancer pop up).
