Great overpay for all the crap you want. Why should people
who don't
know any better get ripped off?
CY: The government is not responsible for education,
even if they think they are.
I do believe in honesty in sales -- if it's a defective
reject, it should be accurately described and labelled.
Same with gasoline. Don't like $6 a galon? Buy some where
else.
Where else would that be? There were only a couple
stations in the
area with any gasoline and electicity for their pumps, and
it was over
$10 a gallon for their dregs. So much for your 'religion'.
CY: And, if people could sell for a fair market price,
they could afford to put in a backup generator, and
sell after the storm. So much for your price fixing,
which prevents people from meeting the demand.
Thanks for proving my point.

I would too.
Didn't stop me getting the damn virus myself though ! Fortunately I
realised fast, checked the symptoms online on the government and NHS
websites, phoned a freephone NHS number and within 8 hours of initial
symptoms I had a course of Tamiflu FOC courtesy of our ghastly
'socialist' NHS which was kindly picked up by a friend of mine.
The following day I relaised I had a complication, namely an incipient
chest infection, and after a phone consultation with a doctor from my
group practice the ghastly 'socialist' NHS sent a fax prescription for a
course of antibiotics to my usual pharmacist which the same friend
collected for me.
'SOCIALIST' medical care really sucks DOESN'T IT ? Don't even think of
adopting it. The doctors, hospitals and insurance companies will be
really unhappy with their reduced income.
Without the above medication I doubt I'd be posting this now btw.

oh no, politics! run for your lives!
anyways, you'd be in a lot better shape if you bought shares of canadian
healthcare for the poor, busses to take patients to canada for anything
beyond ER stuff, we'd clear the waiting lines by purchasing new
equipment by the gross, get the prescriptions here, fill them here, go
home. many of the greedy doctors that went to the states would find a
reason to come back to canada, being greedy and getting rich...er on the
sfa(standard fat american, 50%+ of the population now?), dollar, we'd
charge a bit more than for citizens of course. really, if you consider,
good doctors that can stand to live without fancy cars and boats, stick
around, the ones that want to join in on the 'stat sheet shows three
dollar signs, our best doctors, best room, now! what? her? rampant
colon cancer, dead in a week, she's got one dollar sign, fumbles has
room in the welcome to hell wing, don't bug me! i've got a money
maker!' greed driven system in the states...well, they're not actually
our best doctors anyway, you can keep 'em, they'd only drag us down.

Because that's the only way to teach them to know better than to
get ripped off! Duh!

so, i have a question, how many lawyers are in politics? i had
heard...semi-reliable source, that the original constitution...the one
burned in the first white house(some copies still exist), the original
15th amendment, maybe 14th, can't remember, said that anyone with a
royal title, could not hold public office in the states, on pain of
death. so...what is a royal title, and how is it conferred? well, a
body that represents the royalty, can give a royal title, not all of
them, but some...esquire's a royal title, and lawyers get that title, right?
the old refrain 'kill all lawyers' comes to mind, though, not all
lawyers have the title, it does mean, that any person with esquire as an
honorific, can be summarily executed if he/she takes public office and
doesn't give up the title. just sayin', if there's a public official
that annoys you, and is an esquire, depending on if you're in a state
with the original constitution in effect, state law would govern that,
you can drag him/her out...but, probably wrong anyway, fun to think
about though. |

My other wild dream is having open season on politicians and lawyers.
Issue tags for about 5% of them each year. We want to reduce the

I read an interesting article last week suggesting just the opposite.
Rather than getting rid of congress increase their numbers to the
representative ratio that existed when the Constitution was signed,
thus reducing their individual power accordingly. |
