And by the way, not once, did I insinuate that I was the “only one” who has read Huxley. I added the note for those who haven’t.

I’m not the crazy one here. I’m the one who sees the world as it is becoming, not as I wish it was. Just because you don’t read anything other than a novel, doesn’t make the insanity of our circumstances any different. Try reading about eugenics and Bertrand Russell.

Uhm. . .never mind. The existence of question-marks in that sequence gives me hope for your sanity. . .

Well, whoop-te-do, Pleefer. Am I supposed to be impressed?

You think you’re only one who’s read Huxley, or has seen the chilling things that have come true? You haven’t yet realized there are multiple persons here who get your references, but are rolling their eyes at some of your conclusions?

It doesn’t make your own hallucinations any more credible, dude. Better up your dosage.

Or you could try hard facts. In a illusory world, it’s all we got.

And the gang-bangers??? The Praetorian Guard?

Check with Chet Edwards in Texas. The VA system there is so improved, thanks to Chet, it isn’t recognizable as the old one.

KFG, there’s your “Jesus Wept”.

And what I mean by the Tuskegee evilness is that that crap is still going on. We’re all a bunch of little white mice, running on our wheels and navigating our little mazes. And we get the electro-soma, the television. But take heart, in 40 years the sitting POTUS will also apologize to us (when it all become declassified).

Very funny, Pleef.

For those who didn’t get the joke, Soma is a muscle relaxer that fixes nothing but isn’t too shabby in relieving symptoms.

But the dosage Pleefer suggested would likely result in fast, permanent relief.

Government gives po’ black folk syphilis. Government then leaves said syphillic guinea pigs UNTREATED until they died to test the effects of untreated syphillis. Get that…untreated?

But Clinton apologized for it. So it’s cool.

You and me both! What we need is universal healthcare coverage that will pay for a full body transplant. Shouldn’t be that difficult- I know at least a dozen people who would gladly donate a teenager to medical science.

Of course, it was self-evident that I was making the exact opposite argument. But if government can’t do anything right, why should we trust them to provide disability benefits of any kind?

Maybe because they can, ya know, occasionally, get ir right?

I’m retired and eligible for tricare. I don’t presume to be an expert, but what snooping I have done, I don’t recall it having anything with BC/BS. ????

I can’t believe the naivety on this blog lately.

Hey, good point, Regular. Surely we shouldn’t trust the government to pay your military disability.

I’m certain we can find some private insurer who’s more trustworthy and will give you a better deal. I’ll let my elected representatives know!

I do have private insurance I purchase. It’s called tricare – it’s blue cross and blue shield.

As far as my disability, tough luck on my part, nothing the government can do to replace a screwed up spine. Guess I’m just stuck with that huh?

Poor dumb disabled Vets, how dare they presume they deserve anything for their service. We should dump their carcasses in a pile when the U.S. is done with their service. No cost except moving the dirt over their bodies, perhaps a little petro to burn the decaying matter.
