Here's some unbiased input from the Washington Post (Charles Lane) - far from a right-wing newspaper.....

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...d=opinionsbox1

Lane argues that the "consultations" provided for in Section 1233, while not mandatory, are not "purely voluntary" either as the Democrats have claimed. Thus, he writes "Section 1233 lets doctors initiate the chat and gives them an incentive -- money -- to do so. Indeed, that's an incentive to insist."

As Lane notes, common sense tells us that Section 1233 would place senior citizens in a situation where they will feel pressured to sign end-of-life directives that they would not otherwise sign. The federal government should not be in the business of skewing end-of-life counseling, and thus end-of-life decisions. Lane concludes:

Ideally, the delicate decisions about how to manage life's end would be made in a setting that is neutral in both appearance and fact. Yes, it's good to have a doctor's perspective but section 1233 goes beyond facilitating it to preferring it. Indeed, the measure would have an interested party -- the government -- recruit doctors to sell the elderly on living wills, hospice care, and their associated providers, professions and organizations. You don't have to be a right-wing wacko to question that.

The Perfect Solution to Senior Health Care

While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my sister-in-law the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you're a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc.

Let’s take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.

So here is the solution.. When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need! New teeth, great! Need glasses, no problem. New hip, knee, kidney,lung, heart? Well bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax.

I really think we have found a Perfect Solution!

The membership can also make their own decisions about you - which is why many of them already have put you on their ignore list.:LOL::LOL:

Being at the top of the ignore list is a goal.

Members will also consider the fact that you believe that owning a 'fake' Cobra is beneath you. Your elitist view of life does not include a tribute car - real or nothing for VRM. That's another reason why it's more than passingly strange that you post to this site.

Hi children... I'm back from a restful weekend.

I see no one grew up while I was gone.

Use this as a template on "how to get a thread closed" :rolleyes:
