1. I certainly wouldn’t want to have the disease or injury or whatever that curved knife looking implement on the right was used to cure.

   • Amputations, zzyzx. Amputations.

     Which is exactly what we need to do to our “Federal system.”

     • All I’m saying is let’s take the example of something like diabetes, one of — a disease that’s skyrocketing, partly because of obesity, partly because it’s not treated as effectively as it could be. Right now if we paid a family — if a family care physician works with his or her patient to help them lose weight, modify diet, monitors whether they’re taking their medications in a timely fashion, they might get reimbursed a pittance. But if that same diabetic ends up getting their foot amputated, that’s $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 — immediately the surgeon is reimbursed. Well, why not make sure that we’re also reimbursing the care that prevents the amputation, right? That will save us money.

       Those greedy bastards have been doing this for years!!111!

2. Don’t forget the Lexington/Concord “dust-up” was about weapon confiscation by the government. Seventy-three government employees dead and fifty-three missing.

   It was not about muskets. It was abut state-of-the-art cannon. The first assault weapons ban was at Concord/Lexington. It didn’t work.
