The "progressive" push for nationalized health care (if you think the end game is anything less than that you are hopelessly naive) is not really progressive at all, but actually regressive and a rehash of the tired old liberal mindset of womb-to-tomb government control. One might even call the idea a dinosaur.
Given that metaphor, I thought it appropriate to seek wisdom for the ages from someone well acquainted with dinosaur encounters, Dr. Ian Malcomb of Jurassic Park.
Says Dr. Malcomb "Yeah, but your scientists (politicians) were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Dr. Malcomb understood that there are principles that should never be subverted, even by those that think they are well intended. One of those similar principles is that of limited government. How ironic it is that the progressives love to refer to us as the richest nation on earth, trying to make their claim that nobody should lack health insurance, without any apparent understanding of how we got to be the richest nation on earth. Freedom stimulates resourcefulness, innovation, creativity, and excellence. Remove freedom and there is nothing special about America anymore.
How appropriate that Dr. Malcomb's field of specialty was as a "chaotician", the study of chaos. For that is surely where we are heading.

I'm adding 2 addenda to my comments policy.
1) The invitation to leave comments about my posts is not to be construed as an invitation to endless, pointless debate. I do have a life away from this computer, and don't wish to spend what time I do have lingering on one topic. There's too much going on. Sincere questions will be answered. Questions designed to simply be the starting point for argument may be considered rhetorical.
2) This is MY blog. I have recently discovered the inability of some to remain on topic. I reserve the right to deem comments too stupid to use up my space.
