But if I'd given it a <i>moment's</i> thought, I'd have seen "Holocaust" and thought, "Um, let's save this one for later, shall we?", instead of "Oooh! Linky! <i>*click*</i>"<br /><br />Short form: my fault, not yours.<br /><br />And the state of health care...or more accurately, the health care <i>industry</i>...in this country is enough to drive one mad. Every <b>single</b> thing doesn't have to be run "for profit", but you'd never know that to listen to some people. Next up: residential streets become toll roads, and be sure to pay your daily "fresh air" fee. <i>Arrrgh!</i><br /><br />cicelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735825520095400787.post-56867818667215436642011-06-27T21:31:40.058-05:002011-06-27T21:31:40.058-05:00Cicely--so sorry about the shock...I really dislik...Cicely--so sorry about the shock...I really disliked the story as well but couldn't in good conscience let it slide by. Hopefully I can keep it a bit lighter for the next few rounds. I heard about the story you wrote yours on last week, it is a sorry tale when things like that happen because of how messed up health care is in our country. :(Minervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803450940250232122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735825520095400787.post-2046739379224007842011-06-26T16:18:11.646-05:002011-06-26T16:18:11.646-05:00That was a nasty shock.
Last night I was savoring...That was a nasty shock.<br /><br />Last night I was savoring the happiness brought on by the NY legislature's judgement in favor of equal treatment for gays, thinking of the business opportunities that it would open and how it would not only make a lot of people happy, but also add some much-needed economic stimulus, all at the same time, and for <i>doing the right thing</i>...and then I clicked the Holocaust link. I think I can truthfully say that my mellow has never been so abruptly harshed. I literally---and I mean "literally" in the sense of "exactly, really, truthfully, and not at all metaphorically", not the new-fangled sense of "like, I <i>totally</i> am exaggerating for melodramatic effect, d00d! LOL!"---felt sick at my stomach.<br /><br />Which is why I had to come back today to 'file' this<br /><br />Haiku News Report:<br /><br />Ah, America,<br />Home of "The World's Best Health Care"---<br />And so, we have this: <br /><br />(http://scallywagandvagabond.com/2011/06/man-robs-bank-for-1-so-he-could-be-arrested-and-sent-to-jail-for-free-medical-health-care/)<br /><br />cicelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
