Finally found a place that ran a great hospital with payment complaints from the ER abusers put in file 13 immediately, but by then I simply hated the ER. Too bad, I'm damn good at it... So is 'Cat and so is Qixxote, all of us boarded out of excellent programs... All of us out of the ER... So I guess a lot of people have to die for things in medicine to improve... Probably the same for our crumbling society...

It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/465.Alexis_de_Tocqueville" rel="nofollow"><b>Alexis de Tocqueville</b></a>Andrew_M_Garlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855052302054611917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-13818132029771016562011-04-13T16:56:36.252-05:002011-04-13T16:56:36.252-05:00Does anybody remember that quote about 1/2 of the ...Does anybody remember that quote about 1/2 of the people realizing they can make the other 1/2 pay for them?
