My little AC has put a dent in it, but started too far behind.&#160; It\u2019s still 96\u00b0 at my desk.&#160; I have had no sleep.&#160; To make matters worse, I feel quite nauseous.&#160; That\u2019s either an adverse reaction to a flu vaccine or to watching the Republican debate.&#160; It\u2019s hard to tell which, but my money is on the latter.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">The key point of difference is that Rick Perry wants to do away with Social Security by privatizing it, and Mitt Romney wants to save Social Security by privatizing it.&#160;
