How long is it before a bill collector will stop trying to collect a bet. I got a bill that was almost six years old and they said I have to pay it, out of the blue. I didn't even recognize the name but they said I owe it and have to pay it or they will garnish my pay. They said the company had declared bankruptcy and they took over the loan. I told them I don't know who they are and don't have any money. They started calling me at 8 a.m. until one minute before 9 p.m. every 30 minutes. Is this legal? Now they're calling me all the time. Can someone answer this question please?

To the Republicans who run one of the best Christians we've ever had down, just wait until 2004 when the wealthy in this country have received all the tax cuts and surpluses and all government pensions, including Social Security, have been cut in two to try and hold this country together. You'll probably feel like I do. We need to hang this Texas rattlesnake to the highest rafter.

I read in SpeakOut where someone said Bill Clinton wants to help settle things over there. He's the one who got us in all this mess. If we'd had three more years of him, there would have been no more America. He's the one who stirred up all that trouble overseas and all that stuff, because all he did while he was President was cause problems overseas, roaming around. All of our jobs went over there. Who caused them to go over there? They went over there before Bush was ever elected. Don't tell me that no longer than Bush has been in there that all these jobs that are closing out, Bush is the cause of them. Bush isn't the cause of them. Bill Clinton is.

This is for that yellow belly Republican who's always talking about Clinton. You're always talking about how lily-white the Republicans are and how dirty the Democrats are. I think you better listen real close about this Enron deal. I think you're going to hear of where the President and Vice President have let them in to the White House and about the favors they give and that they have given them. Now that the Enron has gone bust and all these people have lost all this money, when they hit people, got millions out of it. Have a good night's sleep, you Republicans.

I was told today that there is a new vaccination for ear infection that can only be given to children who are on Medicaid. I am very outraged to think that our children are being discriminated against because their parents are working to make an honest living instead of staying at home and living off of welfare. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this picture? Are we teaching our children that it's better to stay home and live off welfare than to be out working and make an honest day's pay?

You didn't say if this happened at a hospital, clinic, doctor's office or pharmacy. Check with your physician or call the Division of Family Services.
