Wesley J. Smith: Using Computer Models to Ration Health Care?

The Dims are all about one thing-power. Benefits will be doled out to their supporters and their opponents will be punished. All they want is total power. Instead of the rule of law, we will have the law of the jungle, sheer tribalism.

Hopefully, they will realize they are wrong when it bite back at them. I'm a firm believer in karma and they are building up a lot of bad karma and it will bite them in the butt one day. If we also bring the bible into it, they "will reap what they sow." I used to work in IT and since it is the subject here, GIGO also applies, Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Enough analogies. There will be a lot of people denied healthcare, old and perhaps not so old. People have friends, families and so on. If a Tony Soprano is denied healthcare by a bureaucrat, he might find a dead horse's head on the porch. I would hate to be that bureaucrat. Even normal people, when the law of the jungle applies, it will backfire on those that impose that. All I can say is I was the said bureaucrat, avoid dark allies, check under the car all the time, mind your wife and kids and sleep with your eyes open. I know in the bible, "vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord," but many will want to take the first crack at it.

When you create the world of "Lord of the Flies," don't be surprised when ti strikes back. It is and always will be a two way street.

“It is and always will be a two way street.”

This is what most on the Left always fails to realize. Some on the Left fully understand that their leaders must be ruthless a la Mao and Stalin to retain power. However, some on the Left are deluded by their utopianism and do not think that big government will require subtantial restriction on liberties and a viscious police state.

We will never convince the first group of Leftists because they seek to torment and enslave us. Moreover, the Leftist oligarchs must impose tyranny on their subjects for their own survival. The second group of people are under a grand delusion of Biblical proportions. They have been indoctrinated, drugged and dumbed down by society and their government; they too will be an impediment to everyone else’s liberties.

We must defeat them politically and failing that, we must destroy them through other means. If we fail to do so, they will destroy us.

I’m so sorry to hear you lost your MIL at such a young age. I don’t know if the doctor told my 88 year old mother she would not survive the surgery.

I had cared for her for a week after she came home from a week in the hospital, and two weeks in a rehabilitation nursing home when she was 78. She had been cut open from her throat to her belly, her ribs spread wide apart for the surgey, and she was still fragile and in pain. At 88 both she and I agreed that she could not/would not subject herself to a similar surgery again. She was far more frail and other systems were also giving out. I think she made the right decision, and I don’t blame a doctor for it.

It was particularly heartbreaking because she had insisted that she was not ready to go, and that she wanted to accomplish more in her life.

I do understand your mother's decision, and it was hers to make under the circumstances. God rest her soul.
