BTW, there won't be any Social Security...we pay heavily for our own health
insurance, and banks are protected by the FDIC....if you are counting on
Social Security to take care of you when you're ancient, you're really in
sad shape...that is the biggest myth the Democrats ever promulgated and FDR
never intended that people should live on SS benefits...they were to be an
assistance...all the money I have put into the SS system has gone to take
care of those that are drawing right now....there won't be the population
necessary to do the same for me when I retire. Public utilities? What are
those? We have a well and a septic field...and there is no public
transportation outside the city limits of Grand Rapids unless you drive to
the Mall to take the bus in...and no commuter trains...so I guess I'm really
not worried about those things..I've never had them so won't miss them.
As far as your abortion diatribe, my opinions do not have anything to do
with government...if the government puts it up for a vote, then as a citizen
I vote and have my say...if it's not to my liking, I have the RIGHT to still
have my say, which you seem to not understand....if a mother's life is in
danger, then there is a necessity for abortion. Over the years I have never
met anyone who had an abortion for that reason. I have known women who had
them for monetary reasons...because they didn't want to wait and give the
baby up for adoption...because they wanted to get back at the man and punish
him...because it was a girl baby and not a boy like they wanted....there are
scenarios where an abortion is the lesser of two evils...those incidences
are not in that category...
As far as getting out, I'm out every day....I read the medical trade
journals for the long term care industry. What you have to remember is that
San Francisco is not the world...it is a very specialized community that
lives quite differently than the rest of us in the US....

There you go with THE GOVERNMENT crap again...why don't you find yourself
a
nice socialistic or communist country to live in where the government is
everything? Got news for you, there are still people here who do not want
all that governmental intervention....the whole flu shot thing is a
construct...they've got you snowed into thinking that it's a necessity of
life...that you will die without it...this is not the 1930's when
malnutrition was rife, when antibiotics barely existed (sulfa was about
it)
and where the life expectancy was somewhere around 62. The chance of an
epidemic here is not probably at all. Get over it. You've been
brainwashed.

Katy, you're not thinking clearly. You can rant all you want, but the
flu shot is essential for certain members of our population. What
gov't intervention are you talking about? Allowing an essential
industry to fail that risks the lives of thousands of people? For the
sake of a "market economy?" Seems rather cold-blooded to me. I hope
you're not going to be using your Social Security, taking public
transportation, are ever in need of an emergency room, or don't care
if you're ripped off by your bank. If you do care about any of those
things, in addition to making sure you have running water, sewers that
work, highways that aren't clogged with potholes, you're going to have
some gov't intervention. Of course, I'm betting you have no problem
with gov't intervention with respect to outlawing abortions. It's one
thing not to save the life of a productive member of the society, but
it's quite another to attempt to preserve the life of a non-viable
fetus while endangering the mother.

I hate to tell you but the flu wiped out millions of Americans, and it
will continue to kill thousands needlessly unless we have some gov't
intervention.

I think you need to get a life, get out more often, and stop allowing
yourself to be brainwashed by people who don't give a rat's ass about
anything or anyone besides themselves. If you want to call me a
socialist or a communist, feel free. I care about my fellow human
beings, and I intend to do everything I can to help others, even if
you refuse to because of some misguided notion about "free
enterprise."
