apparently the Supreme Court thinks like the NFL...(http:///www.aereo.com)

Most countries of this world seem to have strong governments, but, lack the necessary transitional mechansims to pass the baton from one generation to the next. Or they may have the mechanism, but, it is typically violent.

Russia, Greece, Iraq, Pakistan, and Iran come to mind as examples of this problem.

I believe that the condition in Iran is an example of older generations failing to pass the baton to the next generation. The riots in Greece earlier this year had basically the same overriding foundation but a different trigger (in Iran it was the election, in Greece it was a police shooting).

Governments must respect generational transitions and allowing younger generations increasing responsibility in their lives and in their countries.

Otherwise, revolts, riots, and revolution will occur.

Just my two cents...

Statistics should never be a part of human life when it comes to wellness.

Human nature always focuses on "hunches" while business nature focuses on "statistical economic optimization" (i.e. make the most money).

American healthcare is the latter while European has the former.

My wife had a cough for months and most of the time was relegated to the couch and the bed. We went on a trip to Europe to get away and decided to go to a doctor while there. In a matter of minutes, she was properly diagnosed and within a couple of weeks was cleared of her issue.

The only cost was 40 euros for the doctor's time and he gave us some drugs to hold us over until we came back for free.

This was a case of using a hunch instead of statistics. A good doctor knows when to move away from statistics and into hunches.

This is what US doctors should be trained to do.
