LOL! LOL!

When I joined this list, I was looking for lots of information about autism and advocacy, I didn't realize it was also for entertainment and the humor that only we can appreciate.

Hey Lenny - are there any more at home like you? (single brothers?) lolSubject: Re: Socialism and MedicineTo: EOHarm Date: Friday, November 21, 2008, 5:05 PM

I am frightened by the health care/pharma industry's control over the

politics of government, to then put the government in charge of health

care. While I would not expect some utopia free market solution to

health care (and neither does the author), I do fear socialized

medicine run by the government turning into medical fascism - a

glimpse of what we now experience with recommended (read: mandated)

vaccines and public health care agencies. Single payer system would

rule out alternative treatments for autism, leaving ABA and risperdal

as the only options for our children.

And unless I am mistaken, there is nothing in the constitution, or in

common law, that obligates any employer to pay for the health care of

its workers. I am against socialism for corporations, too. If I were

king of the world, I would let the investment firms, the auto industry

fail if fail they must, rather than reward their failures with

bailouts. I would then abdicate the throne.

Fortunately, I am the remaining single brother in my family. My two

brothers are happily married (but not to each other, this being

California. But maybe someday when the state supreme court grants us

our equal rights, I'll marry my two brothers and their wives - if my

sister doesn't marry them first.)

Well, this goes to show you how autism can drive people to all levels

of desperation.

So much for the autism community being "divisive/divided." hahaSubject: Re: Lenny Socialism and MedicineTo: EOHarm Date: Saturday, November 22, 2008, 12:33 AM
