A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

This is the organ chart of socialized medicine.  It has kidneys, spleens, liver and onions and a whole lot of other organs your body does not. 

Congressmen must be very good engineers.  The reason I say this is because as an engineer I feel there is very little chance I could mathematically model the chances of success.  In fact more often than not when machines are this complicated they fail often and hard.  Thus I can only conclude that congressmen are smarter than I am.  In fact they must be demigods.  A god something bigger than Mercury and less than Jupiter.  And on a final note you maybe wondering where you are on this map of the corpus governmentus.  You reside on the rings around Uranus.  And thus you can assume the worse.  The flavor of the day will never change.

Watch and learn.

My brazilian girlfriend is a nurse. As such she is privy to alot of health information that is not publicized. The following story was recounted to me. There is a male nurse that is a friend of a friend of hers. This fellow is HIV positive. All well and good. You as a naive person think well of course if he has sex he uses a condom and informs his partner first. WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS. This fellow who is described as super good looking does not inform his sex partners. He has dated with both men and women although my girlfriend was not sure if he has actually had sex with a girl that she knew he was dating. It is likely he has had sex with both sexes. He does not use a condom. As recounted to me his attitude is that someone gave him HIV and thus he is not going to worry about giving it to other people. The word my girlfriend used to describe this is he is in revolt. Next question I put to my girlfriend the nurse: This is an strange case of someone acting this way? Answer: This is not strange at all. It is a quite common attitude. I know this passive aggressive attitude may sound strange to many Americans. However the liberal attitude of not wanting others to get to far ahead his much more prevalent here. It is counted as a portuguese / brazilian trait. As she put it the infected person has 2 choices -1- stay home inside waiting to die in a state of depression -2- go on playing like nothing happened. go into a state of revolt and spread the virus. It all sounds like a very good metaphor for socialism. Everyone should be equally miserable. I thank god I am not either one of these miserable fucks spreading misery.  And it makes me rethink if the retroviral drugs are a good thing.  It extends the amount of time available to people like this to spread the virus.
