I know Obamacare is the worst thing that's happened since the Holocaust (if that even happened  ), but don't worry, I've got a solution.http://www.healthcarecompact.org Instead of the Federal government doing it, the states will just join in a compact to manage healthcare, with Congress' permission, of course. Congress will still give us that sweet sweet healthcare money too. Remember, healthcare is simply too large and complex to manage at the federal level, and states have generally shown that they're much better regulators than the federal government. The Health Care Compact isn't about who or what is covered, just about who makes these decisions. :realtalk: A buddy of mine posted this on Facebook. I haven't the heart to give this the mocking that it truly deserves. Brute Squad fucked around with this message at 18:31 on May 1, 2014 |

Nessus posted:This is said to have been a pre-Islamic Persian tradition, I believe. According to Herodotus, at least. Herodotus: Book 1, Chpt 133 posted:And of all days their wont is to honour most that on which they were born, each one: on this they think it right to set out a feast more liberal than on other days; and in this feast the wealthier of them set upon the table an ox or a horse or a camel or an rear end, roasted whole in an oven, and the poor among them set out small animals in the same way. They have few solid dishes, but many served up after as dessert, and these not in a single course; and for this reason the Persians say that the Hellenes leave off dinner hungry, because after dinner they have nothing worth mentioning served up as dessert, whereas if any good dessert were served up they would not stop eating so soon. To wine-drinking they are very much given, and it is not permitted for a man to vomit or to make water in presence of another. thus do they provide against these things; and they are wont to deliberate when drinking hard about the most important of their affairs, and whatsoever conclusion has pleased them in their deliberation, this on the next day, when they are sober, the master of the house in which they happen to be when they deliberate lays before them for discussion: and if it pleases them when they are sober also, they adopt it, but if it does not please them, they let it go: and that on which they have had the first deliberation when they are sober, they consider again when they are drinking. I've used this concept effectively to discuss campus issues at the collegiate level. If only Boehner or Priebus would embrace it. Tacitus cites the Germanic peoples he encountered doing something similar. Brute Squad fucked around with this message at 04:30 on May 7, 2014 |
