hotelsierra exists only as a collected series of bytes that have been laid down on a rapidly spinning platter of iron oxide-coated aluminum.
Any resemblance to actual hotels, whether operating, abandoned or demolished is purely coincidental.
Void where prohibited, although, as always, the laws of physics still apply.

A thought on the Terri Schiavo controversy
Many of the people who support the position that her feeding tube should be removed are the same people who would be exploring every avenue possible to prolong her life if she were an inmate on Florida's Death Row.
You know, I could have done a better job on that post.
I was attempting to point out the irony of
liberals taking the "right-to-die" position along with the "anti-death penalty" position
and
conservatives taking the "keep her alive" position along with being in this particular case and the pro death-penalty position.
And that if you put Terri in an orange jumpsuit on Florida's death row, how many people on both sides would reverse their positions vis-a-vis her continued existence.
And the point you're trying to make is?
Let's see.
The only people who have the opportunity to vote against Medicare and Medicaid are called...politicians.
And the voting records of politicians are public information, usually as close as your local newspaper (or the Congressional Record, if we're talking Federal government here.)
So, as they say on Usenet:
Cite, please.
Give me one documented instance of a politician voting "against Medicare and Medicaid" who took the conservative positions I listed above.
