Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the
common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of
Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.

Some would consider that healthcare could come under "general welfare".


One can only hope that slime such as Fritz find themselves in dire need
someday, only to be turned away so they suffer inordinately because of
their disregard for their fellow man.

Two weeks ago, we encountered a 30-something fellow who could not find a
dentist or a dental society anywhere in his area of the Pacific
Northwest who would see him regarding some terrible dental pain he had
been having. He presented a list that included three dental societies
and 23 dental offices he called for help. The list was legitimate. He's
been Bushed out of his job, he has no money, and his community has no
funds for dental care for a fellow in his circumstances, and General
Welfare is a thing of the past.

What did he do?

Using a pliers, he yanked out three of his teeth. Himself.

In any other modern "Western European" society, and in many other
less-wealthy societies around the world, he could have received decent
dental care without spending weeks searching for it.

You really have to wonder sometimes about the hole this country is going
done, and whether we really are worth it anymore.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
