Michael Moore's "Sicko"

[scaeagles]

There is a vast difference in decisions made by and for individuals which by and large can meet the needs of those whom they are making decisions for, and a mass of individuals making decisions for those that they do not understand nor are capable of meeting the needs of.

So, the intelligence of individuals gathered together does not necessarily equal something intelligent. This is not uncommon thought.

I opt out of the public school system, and I get a dollar for dollar tax credit for contributing to charitible organizations that assist in private school tuition. Why is this offered? Because the public school system (while certainly not underfunded) is over burdened and there needs to be a way to alleviate it. Social security is a forced contribution that I will likely never see a penny of and I know I could do better investing my money elsewhere, but that's not permitted (and even fought against). There is such gross mismanagement of medicare and foodstamps and you name it by government that I have no desire to see them involved whatsoever in health care decisions I make for me or my family. Need an abortion? There's a 10 month waiting period. Something tells me that's not going to fly.
