that kept popping into my head when Nate kept turning the "socialized healthcare" discussion into the "denying kids healthcare" discussion is below.
Good luck with your reading tonighton Sunday night, Nate!
Gawd- sometimes you are so obtuse. McDonalds is BAD for kids. Vaccines, on the other hand, are good for kids. Any attempt to compare the two is a bit like saying that water and rat poison are similar commodities.
"If you and I go to McDonalds and I buy you a big mac, it isn't a free lunch. Ask McDonald's. They didn't give it away, the cost was just shifted from the recipient to some one else."
"So, a better illustartion would be: Me, you, Terry, and Archi go to McD's. Archi pays for his Big Mac. Archi and me buy ours and split the cost of yours with you. Me you and archi buy terry's. McDonalds gets paid the same- but we all agree that we each cover what we can of ours and what we need to of each other's."
