It’s bad enough that they send me spam constantly. Lately though, I’ve been getting emails targeted at “Blackberry Owners.” I was confused, because I don’t, and never have owned a Blackberry. Then I noticed that the address that they were being sent to was an alias I’ve only ever used for Ticketmaster. Those stupid, class-less low-down, useless fools sold my email address. I hate them. >:-(

No fun. No fun at all. My job is safe, but I lost my boss, my boss’ boss, the guy who hired me into the company, the senior dev on my team, the quality assurance manager on my team, and a whole lot of friends. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. I know that they’ve all got good things ahead.

Cuba’s Health Care System: The Reality….access to such rudimentary medicines as antibiotics and Aspirin can be limited, and there are reports that citizens excluded from the foreign-only hospitals often must bring their own bed sheets and blankets while in care.

The “economy stimulus package” (more appropriately defined as a socialist spending package) contains language that will get us started down the path to an inefficient, expensive, and wholly unnecessary nationalized health care system.
“The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479)…One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.”
This is *not* an economic stimulus package. It’s a socialist’s dream come true, cloaked by an intentional panicked smokescreen of fear, uncertainty and doubt intended to spook us into allowing it to be passed into law without the critical analysis it needs. Critical analysis that must be avoided lest it bring the bill’s true egregious nature to light.
