Smile? Good lord.

"Nice (crazed) smile"

QOTD
"Every time the state assumes an additional function such as health insurance, child care or benefits for the aged, the need for close family ties becomes weaker."
- some dude
These two quotes are the best thing in this article, I believe.

From Bismarck to Obama

QOTD2
"It may be that one of the most effective ways of increasing allegiance to the state is through national health insurance."
- some other dude
Any debate on these QOTDs?
I think the real debate is whether you care about weaker "family ties" being replace by a stronger "allegiance to the state"... though our President and Congress won't ever admit this.
This is why the "Medicare for all" debate is so heated... and a hearty huzzah to that!

QOTD3
"Dude, this movie is awesome!"
- Teenager checkout "dude" at Best Buy last night... I was buying the "300" DVD
Movie: "300"
Review: 4 bill-stars (out of 5)... excellent!

"300" is silly, shallow... um, pretty stupid and gay... sue me. I like it. It does what it sets out to do and does it very well. It's pretty positive and fun. It's also one of the few "graphic novel" movies that I like. "300" and Watchmen"... that's about it.

Sigh. Smile. Cringe. I did all three pretty much simultaneously as my checkout "dude" attempted to bond with my cranky old 47 ass. He he. Oh well, I lived. Good one.
dude... yow, bill
