In a world that's full of tear me downs, or one could say destructions, a vote of confidence is always welcome.

I don't think anyone likes the deal they get under the ACA. Why not? Quite simply, as long as the medical insurance empire is allowed to exist there will be no good health care. We are the laughing stock of the industrialized West. Worst health care, as well as the most expensive health care...

Moi, paranoid? I can't say that is impossible. I think I can say that no personal privacy exists anywhere, and there will be none in the future. But this keeps us safe!!!

Amen, I can't gainsay that!

I'm very sorry that you have to deal with more genuine pain than any person should ever have to. Broken bones, be they large or small HURT. I sincerely hope that none of the health care people you are seeing are cruel. Once upon a time a bone doctor decided he didn't like me and rammed 10cc of...

What a good post, you are still the man, Daniel~! Looks like making a good death is preceded by making a good life. We all try to accomplish this. If I could do that unwaveringly... perhaps I wouldn't be human. All of us have mountains to climb, some of us may have steeper peaks to conquer. Or...

What a great attitude, most excellent, Daerandin!

As the saying used to go, Daerandin you are da man!

I've been enthused about Bernie Sanders for many years. His voting record is not perfect, according to my Left leaning opinion. But it lives up to my ideals most of the time. Yet he's far, far above my own state's senators, "Democrats" both who voted FOR the TPP. The Trans-Pacific Partnership...

Come to think of it, I can remember only one happy family over all of my years. My first "real" as in we did just about everything together in H.S. girlfriend's family. Her family were genuinely happy, excepting her mother. Yet her mom was an interesting and nice person. Guess 100% happy...

Excellent, thank you very much Daerandin!

It's knee jerk easy for me to blame Republicans for nearly everything. They are such glaring examples of all that is wrong in this world of ours. However, they are beyond the reach of a sane person, imho. Very much of the blame falls upon the mercenary policies of the once upon a time New Deal...

" All happy families are the same in their happiness. All unhappy families are different in their unhappiness." That is so true. I've known only a few happy families, at first I thought they were just acting happy. Yet some of them WERE happy. I was very fortunate to know them!

Sorry Dan~. I'm sure other people's families are far worse than my own was, especially on TV! But I have to spare our faithful readers from that nightmarish vision from many, many years ago. I apologize for mentioning it.

I must agree, Europeans have had an especially evil history in conquering much of the world over the last five hundred years. Or maybe we are only the most recent example of might makes everything right. I like to give some people that support Trump a tiny bit more credit. Some of them don't...

Dan~, if you used Oxycodone and other synthetic, as in dreamed up in a laboratory man-made painkillers for a solid two years to combat the pain from your very rare (see, there is a God, Virginia) Zoster type Herpes skin eruptions you had a more difficult time than I did getting off of those...

Clinton and Trump. Both are terrible, somehow I don't think that's a choice of any kind. It looks like the Democratic Establishment will bar Bernie Sanders from the Presidency, even if he wins it fair and square. I think I'll still vote for him, Clinton is a monster imnsho, and I can't define...

I was an alcoholic for three years too, Gizmo. But I hardly ever drank socially. It was less expensive and far more efficient to grab a four liter bottle of cheap white wine at the grocery store. I usually finished off that bottle within a day. I drank for effect, glugging down about a liter to...

Oh garshk, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Families can be too embarrassing to share. Sorry if I led you down a nonexistent path.

I sought oblivion when I was an alcoholic. What a mean spirited drug. I guess that the punishment of hangovers and loss of sleep keeps it legal? It's fine in small doses, but a little wasn't enough. Bad choice of drugs. Heroin is indeed the Great Escape, but I was too stupid to realize that that...
