it's hard to be consistent when you're half crazy with fear i guessSurely the oddest thing about the town hall protests is the number of elderly screaming at the top of their lungs about euthanasia, eugenics--by far the largest contingent. These folks have single-payer health care paid for by the government, and have had it for decades. It's called Medicare. Yet somehow, they vehemently want to deny it to everyone under 65. What's up with that?

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
