Tis nice to know is it not that at least the Arts are frivolous. That we can purchase however much we like, when we like, of what media type we like whenever we want as conditions, desires and whimsy merit.
Obviously things of merit, benefit or consequence cannot be left to the great unwashed--who cares what their choice is in this or that.
And so with some interest I read this from John Edwards:
"‘It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,’" he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. ‘If you are going to be in the system, you can't choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.’" (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2007/9/5/uk-offers-insight-into-the-edwards-healthcare-plan.html)
And this from Mrs. Clinton: "‘At this point, we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans.’" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070918/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_ap_interview_6)
Nice to know that our government in their view believes we are children who must do their bidding. Have some crayons.
So anyway, I'm waiting rapturously and with abated breath for their respective plans for running the trains on time.
By the way, I'm really curious does the PM of Canada or the PM of Great Britain or any other socialist medical plan receive the same care as the average citizen? I mean do they wait four, five, six weeks? months? etc. to receive the "non-essential care"? No? They're treated like the demigods of the old USSR.
Political influence for the excruciatingly few receives the very best and no one else is allowed to try and purchase the very best their resources could obtain. Oh! can we pretty, pretty please have such a vile and egalitarian system in place here?
