Hey, he's just telling us how much he hates intolerance.

Hah, he's been furiously editing his posts. And just when I was perusing them to slam the 'Report Post' button.

It appears that you're talking about Michael Savage. FYI...Doc Savage is a science detective from pulp fiction during the 30's and 40's. Me thinks you're confused.

Your first comment linked above is how I came to that conclusion. You apparently believe this is a Democratic vs. Republican issue (yet again) so I made the assumption that you concluded it was the exsitence of workers comp that was the problem. Otherwise your smear on Democrats makes absolutely no sense.

There is a lot of fail in this thread about workers comp. One poster whined about the courts-workers comp is an administrative remedy and never reaches the courts except in the very rare case where a legal issue is presented (like is the injury covered by workers comp at all).

IF (and that's a huge IF) the facts cited it the opinion piece cited by the OP are correct then IL has a substantial problem with its implementation of workers comp. But that piece is so sparse on facts and so heavy on conclusions I have grave doubts.

Unfortunately the blog piece cited by the OP took a pretty complex issue and attempts to reduce it to bumper slogan analysis.
Look....Illinois has been run by Democrats for quite some time and the results have been less than spectacular. Corruption is no stranger to this State and it appears to be deeply ingrained within the government culture...therefore, rampant WC fraud would not surprise me. But you're right to question the "facts" and I look forward to you or anyone shedding any light on this.

Why is it always a "progressive" who insults forum members by calling out other members as fags? More to the point, I thought gay slurs were against the rules here. I guess some people are immune to the rules, people like steeplerot.

Perhaps they think that there is a "repressed homo" in this thread, just not the one that has been accused of it. In all fairness, if you look at a picture of a science detective from the 30's-40's and think of another man ejaculating on your face..... just saying. Nothing wrong with it either, whatever floats your boat.
