The question I want to know is would it be better in my later years for my to have never been vaccinated for the flu? Does getting the flu every few years when I'm young and healthy give me a better immune system to handle it when I'm older. I completely understand vaccinating people who are at risk of serious illness against the flu, but less convinced that we should be forcing this upon the healthy when it doesn't give the same long term benefit as traditional vaccines. From what I understand the current flu outbreak isn't even a strain that is included in the current vaccine.

Comment I tried the Nexus 7 (Score 0) 251

I gave the Nexus 7 a try just because I wanted more "choice", then found out that about a 3rd of the apps from google play were "not compatible with this device" and the app I wanted most, firefox with adblock, wouldn't let me browse more than a few pages without crashing to the desktop. Honestly, widgets are cool, but not enough to pull me away from a working product, so back to IOS I went.

So are you arguing that you should divorce Social Security benefits from what people pay in? Or would that be just for "rich" people? Under our current system if you make the "rich" pay in more and you'll have to pay them more too, and since they have better access to health care and tend to live healthier they tend to live longer and this will collect even more...

Yeah, why would there be much costs associated with regulating everything a person ever does from their first breath to their last!?!? Nope, that's gonna be super cheap! Haha At least fossil fuel producers have something to trade for my $$$, Al Gore wants me to pay just for the privilege of breathing...
