I have to say that what this strip depicts is completely inappropriate. Grabbing a child by the collar, pointing and yelling in their face. If you did this to another adult it would be simple battery. What bothers me more is that only one other person on the board even batted an eye. And before you say anything I am a 51 year old father of three children, two in their 20’s and one in his teens. I know how frustrating it can get, but this is out of line.
The “lake” at the north pole was a melt water pond that was never more than 2’ deep and 150’ across. It sat on top of at least 3’ of ice and disappeared on July 29th. It is a normal part of the arctic climate in the summer when the sun shines 24/7. Today’s headline “North Pole Sees Unprecedented July Cold – Arctic Sees Shortest Summer On Record”, but you won’t hear the global warming cult talking about that.
School starts earlier in Georgia. Our boys started last Monday and some systems at the first of August. We don’t Love August. It’s hot, the kids are in school and traffic’s a bear.
Although I can’t speak about the level of care, there is nothing wrong with the VA existing to provide care for soldiers, veterans and their families. It’s a benefit that is granted to those who put it all on the line for our country for very little money or recognition. I do have a problem with those who think “For no other reason than that I exist, I deserve the product of someone else’s efforts at no cost to me. If they won’t give it to me, someone should make them.”
To answer Val’s question, no one’s situation gives them the right to demand time, service or money from another or to use the government to do the same. Universal Healthcare depends on services or funds be extorted from some to provide to others. It’s an unreasonable, unsustainable pipe dream. To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, the problem with Universal Healthcare is that eventually you will run out of other peoples money or there will be no doctors when they are forced to practice for little or no money.
I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. – Johh Galt
