The More You Know.... *comet*

...the Matrix has you.

...and this, kids, is YET ANOTHER good reason to get the hell out of Facebook.

My personal farewell to Facebook came about 2 years ago, when they took group discussions public - including already posted discussions.

It's one thing to criticize various government figures in the privacy of a 20-member group, it's another thing altogether to have your real name + various tirades publicly posted - and forever Googlecached - for anyone to find. Thanks a lot, Facebook, for potentially damaging my chances for sensitive employment and/or government positions.

Google+, Diaspora, LinkedIn, whatever. Not going back to Facebook.

Seriously? Then how do you explain Al Sharpton, Al Gore, Michael Moore, and Nancy Pelosi.

I won't rejoin Facebook, now that Google+ is more or less operational, and... Diaspora is out of beta. In case you didn't know.

No, that's not what he's saying. Pay attention. They're not "out to get" anyone, they're just retarded and like to blamestorm once their failures come to light. See "precious snowflake syndrome".

Oh, yeah, the absentee ballots that military personnel overseas received AFTER the election, because most military vote Republican... while convicted FELONS in JAIL were mailed absentee ballots, even though they're not eligible to vote. No, there were no shenanigans whatsoever in the last election.

And in other news from the Institute For The Painfully Obvious...

You don't have to believe in something in order for it to work.

So when a Democrat (e.g. Obama) does it, "his opinion is evolving". When a Republican does it, he's "flip-flopping". Cool. Got it.

This is nothing new.

However, because our rulers have long ago given up any pretense of actually giving a damn about what their subjects want, they've passed ObamaCare in the middle of the night, using unprecedented trickery and loopholes, despite 70% of the country being against it.

Oh, and meanwhile the UK government is quietly changing their healthcare system back into PRIVATE ownership, little by little, to avoid an uproar. I guess they got tired of hearing stories like these: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1253438/Mid-Staffordshire-NHS-hospital-routinely-neglected-patients.html?ITO=1490

But, even when the Socialist model, the inspiration for ObamaCare, is admitted to be a failure and steps are taken to return the healthcare system into private hands, nobody on this side of the pond gives a damn.

"In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We’ve all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false. " - Paul Krugman, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/opinion/17krugman.html?_r=0

Yeah, the blood-soaked sheets, the discarded needles, and the 3-day-old corpses in hallways are just... figments of someone's imagination, right, Dr. Krugman?

Well-meaning idiots, or cryptomarxists willing to ignore any human suffering for the advancement of an agenda? You decide.

See, you're thinking like a sane human being who's concerned about making the most efficient system possible.

You're not thinking like a medical billing company with friends in Washington, who's salivating at all the extra business they would get with these new regulations. You're not thinking like one of the many professional Medicare/Medicaid scammers, for whom a rising complexity means more loopholes to be exploited. You're not thinking like an IRS official who's drooling over the prospect of getting several hundred or thousand of new agents under his control, and most likely a promotion commensurate with this new increase in responsibilities.

No one is interested in making a lean, efficient system that has no loopholes and enforces honesty.

"If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse! No one would know what to do!" - George Carlin

Not surprising, for a system that allows treatment for endometriosis on a MALE patient...
