Say, KB, did you know we (the stupid masses) also pay 12 billion dollars a month for war?

Of course, we can pay for war, but God help those who would like us to pay for health, right Alex?

Thank you both for setting us straight!

Nothing like taking a statement and blowing it completely out of context.

But I stand by my words. Individuals usually make pretty good judgments. An individual is not capable of speaking for the masses - that is the basis of the statement. It is easier for the "masses" to make blanket statements and believe Utopian dreams. This is not a political statement on one side or the other (and could be used by either side of the aisle). It is just a truism that I happen to believe.

Well, hmm, masses do a democracy make ... but I am not sure if that is what you mean. Your masses are made up of individuals, correct? And these individuals can make "pretty good judgments, right? Or, maybe you are suggesting these masses are a separate entity, that dream of utopia and "make blanket statements" as one. Wow. Hmm. Methinks, KB, ye watch too much Star Trek.

But at any rate, FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL*
