Things are different state to state in the USA, Stoney. The question is , who gets limited resources, and in this case we aren't talking money, but limited availability of compatible body parts. Who get the resources? My buddy who won't help himself get better, and has deliberately ruined his...

Oldfart said it all... FUCK'EM ! this system sucks and it's gonna get worse. Sorry I sorta sidetracked your thread, I think a lot of us have paid into a system that is broke. Pockets turned out broke. :/ BTW boil it all down and one acronym says it all, 'DC' .

Jeff's signature... continued . . . Hey punk, where you goin' with that button on your shirt, I'm goin' to the Love In to sit and play my bongos in the dirt... :cool: 'Bongos in the Dirt'. (Old Style Santana?) +++ 'Idiot Bastard Son' would probably get copyright* problems. :2c: 'Hotcha!'...

I've said before, in this forum, that paranoia is a healthy state of mind. I think you can argue the eugenics point. There is only X dollars or pounds available to the medical system, choices are made. At some point choices about the future will be made. I have two cousins who were medically...

The part that got me was " properly described" and , "which is indefinite in terms of important factors" used in the same sentence... I know it's math talk, but still gobbledygook to me.... :lol: "As with Einstein, Schrdinger was dissatisfied with the concept of entanglement, because it seemed...

I have a few, but this one is always interesting (to me). SpaceWeather.com http://spaceweather.com/ The site is mostly about the Sun and it's current activity. They also list NEOs and show some nice photography, again mostly solar related, but that includes some neat auroras and...

My point is, if 'the government' is going to control healthcare, they are gonna want to control lifestyle. If that fellow wants to smoke he can, but I don't think that will be the case if it's 'universal'. Pretend that NHS is not 'the government', but really it is, right? They decide, you have...

"and the government pays the rest" . . . uh . . . where do they get the money? It's a funny question, isn't it? As if 'the government' is Mommy and Daddy with unlimited resources (read resources as taxes). In the USA over 50% of families are on some kind of government assistance. Our healthcare...

I kinda know where Oldfart is coming from. Prescription pricing is screwy. Oh, boy . . . universal health care... ask Oldfart how that's working out. Since we are self pay, I'll relate a short story about a prescription Pammy used to be on and it's pricing , I'll use round numbers which aren't...

Wasn't picking on you Vicki, just pointing out that it was a string of characters who have played this out, since 'the war on drugs' started by Nixon (and we all know he wasn't crook...). Well, they seem to be dying off one by one. It's a political game . And both sides (Repubs and Demos) have...

Vicki says, "Afterall, Nancy Reagan came after her with the "Just Say No" campaign." Remember history please, ;) Richard Nixon started the 'War on Drugs', his VP was booted for corruption and Gerald Ford, Betty Ford's husband was the replacement VP who later was elected as the incumbent. Or...

a bit later in the day :brow: BTW, I have NO idea what these are. Just great looking shrooms. :peace: ++++ Oh yeah, Pammy thought that was a grass squirrel ;) +++ In case you forgot here are the rules. Rules 1) Open to all Purple-Days customers (purchased from PD Land or...

Pictures are fun. Today's PD Land pic is from the kitchen counter. A hand glazed planter from a local shop, I filled with succulents. Today we get a surprise. Sansui was always known for a very low THD (total harmonic distortion). A clean, clean amp. And such cool wood cases, from back...

My Father displayed those symptoms (never smoked pot, he claimed). They were mild at first, but got worse... It would be too bad if your Father, an MD, dismissed this as 'fried brain' from pot smoking and missed a brain tumor like Dad had. Or early Alzheimers which we suspected. Too bad so many...

Sansui.... :cool: They made some HQ stuff. :party: :2c: Wow, wish I would see one of those at a garage sale. Oh and that's no slouch turntable either. What cartidge?

Yes, the two big Georges. Sorta forgot how good Benson was. Today has reminded me of a few forgotten greats, Gleason and Uncle Milty and Benson on guitar... :cool: Milk, I was a wild child of sorts, by today's standards, I ate a lot of honeysuckle sap as a kid, built tree houses way too high by...

Betty Ford, founder of the famous Betty Ford Center (or such) was a prescription junkie* if memory serves me, and led a campaign for a 'Drug Free America' or something, (read: continuation of the "War on Drugs') again, my words... With the death of the 'old gaurd' do you feel we are any closer...

I liked the article, but don't think he took Huxley's meaning properly. I think Huxley meant the opposite of Harriss' interpretation. But, what do I know ? Good article with that one quibble. :peace:

Here is a pic of last night's dust storm (not taken by me). It was pretty crazy!

Me too, brother ??? I sometimes think it works to keep the powerful powerful. On either side. I think the electorate may finally get pissed... Heard a comment, from a prominent commenter today, he pondered what was on the other side of a debt crisis... said, maybe they have cried wolf too...
