Camels and Needles

Post by _Nomomo »

Some Thoughts on Camels and Needles:
Let's say you are 81 years old, you and your 76 year old brother have $81 Billion Dollars, and with luck you probably have perhaps another 5 years or so left of your life. Yet even with all that wealth that you haven't a chance of spending even a small fraction of, and only a few years left to your life, it is still of such paramount importance to you that you deprive millions of your fellow humans out of life saving health care that you will go to great effort and expense to try to take their health care away from them.
With all that $81 Billion of wealth, this is how you want to spend the final years of your life? Now, if that isn't the definition of mental illness, then I don't know what is.
The Universe is stranger than we can imagine.

I hear the Koch brothers are nearing their ultimate goal:
