...Senior health care solution... So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you - what do you do? Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 MP’s and 2 Ministers – not necessarily dead! Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, and all the health care you need! New teeth - no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. (And your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now). And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore. IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?
State Security Chief Donovan: Do you have the words straight? Gilbert: You know, I won't understand them if I live to be a hundred. State Security Chief Donovan: You won't......
You must not have the prison overpopulation problem we have here! Haha...I got a good chuckle this morning out of that one!
Most of our municipalities would gladly let a criminal go to make room for a senior, just look at Charlotte, NC, where parolies wearing locator bracelettes break in and attack senior citizens.
One of my better friends, whom I learned body-work from, passed away in 2004 from a stroke heart-attack combo. But up until he was struck low by emphazema (sp?) he had planned to "pull a federal crime" and get arrested, plead guilty and take federal time in his old age. He didn't change his filter type for painting when the lead was removed from acrylic paints, and replaced by a hardening agent. Consequently, since the agent doesn't care what it hardened, it hardened his lung tissue to the point where he only had about 5% lung function when he hit his late fifties. For the last few years of his life we "pooled" out SSD payments and by doing so we could live in a pretty nice apartment complex instead of us both living in dumps we could afford alone. When he passed away, my apt. management people allowed me to move across the hall into a single bedroom place, and they have kept my rent low enough for me to afford to stay. I help out on occasion with plumbing and such when I can in exchange for the "rent break". They are super folks. But I'm getting off subject. That was Craig's "retirement" plan as well, go to prison and die there. He had spent about seven years in the "joint" as a young guy, he was caught in a burglary. He and another guy had been "cracking safes" in the Safeway stores for three years before he was caught, and he had a pretty good idea how to survive in prision. It was his prision time rehab where he learned body work, and that was in the years before "bondo" so he was a "lead man". A skill that real "hot-rodders" appreciate today, since it replaces the smoothing of a body with all metal, no plastic and is a dying art form. He could do both, but was only one of two guys here in Billings who could do the lead work.
You know what Sniper, I wonder what would happen if the politicians actually were afraid of their "subjects"...................... Alas, like Skipper said you'd run out of politicians too damn quick !!!!
