Guest guest Posted August 16, 1999 Report Share Posted August 16, 1999 The time and place: Ancient Jeruselum... The angry crowd was closing in on the prostitute. Stones were gathered, and it looked like the prostitute was in for mob justice... Jesus pushes his way to the front of the crowd, and shouts " Wait! " " Let whosoever among you that is without sin throw the first stone! " Moments pass while the crowd lowers their heads in shame. Suddenly, a good sized stone comes whizzing through the air, striking the prostitute in the head and instantly killing her. Jesus is stunned! He looks one by one at the crowd, and finally sighs in exasperation, saying " You know, Mom, I wish you'd quit that! " :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical staffs are really at their wits' end. It wears them down to have to make excuses ... fudge a bit on the paperwork ... just so their patients can get the help they need. I would hope that we would redirect our medical resources so that the lion's share isn't spent on us during the last few months of our lives - merely to prolong our suffering in many cases, but is used to help more people including diabetics whose lives could be extended by many years if their diseases were recognized and treated earlier. And I would hope that we would be blessed with politicians who take an interest in us ordinary citizens and do something about price-gouging by drug companies.
