It would seem that rules are ONLY meant for the OTHER guy!! It is not hard to follow a few easy, basic rules, that are in place only to keep these forums comfortable for the majority of those who use them. here is really NO valid reason to use misspelled words that mean other things just to do...

AND, Just how long is it going to take to get rid of these bums? :confused:

What thread is locked?

I don't have a clue what happened in this case. The fact of the overall issue is that doctors, or the government, have NO legitimate business making decisions like this. All I want is the facts, I will decide what is best. That is how it was handled when my mother died. The doctors gave us the...

Yes we do, we call them political camPAINS!!:p

Sorry, this is government forced misery!! You have no choice.

Yes, you are being forced. The CIA has a secret program aimed at certain individuals to test their ability to control people. You won the first test!! Congratulations!! :p

Sure is a LOT of "Banter" in this thread. WOW!! Who would have thunk it? Must be a VERY boring weekend. :rolleyes:

No need to get annoyed!! This too shall pass! :p

HEY!! I LIKE THAT!! It does fit SO well!

Is that "PROOF" that politicians are a joke? :p

Greg, I have State Farm on my pick up truck and they have a "recreational" rate for cars that are driven less than 7500 miles per year. Much lower rates. You can even go over that if you tell them you are doing a long trip in advance. Works out good for us.

A tax on miles driven might just be a better way to pay for roads. NO gps tracking. NOT a good idea to give government more power to know where we are at. Also 100% of ALL taxes MUST go for roads. NOT to pay for mass transit etc. Mass transit should pay for itself, NO SUBSIDIES!!

It is expensive. I was watching the wheelwrights making spokes for a minute while I was there. True artisans. A pleasure to watch them work.

That is correct and DNR orders should be followed, either way. Doctors should not be allowed, or required, to over ride a DNR order or not resuscitate someone who has no DNR on file. It should NOT be up to the doctor to decide based on "quality of life". Far too much room for abuse. It is up...

They really try but, as all government programs, they are cash strapped. They are even turning away retired vets, not enough money for new patients. So much for honoring a contract, eh?

I go to the VA, my doctor is pretty dog gone good. It is strange for a VA but I have had the same doctor since 2000. That is rare. My dad and nephew have her as well.

You can bet your life, if you want to, that sooner or later politics will come into play. The government will decide your life based on money and political considerations. Government, by it's very nature, always becomes oppressive.

The term "heroic measures" means using more advanced medical skills, beyond CPR although some include CPR, to revive someone who is dying. I don't know how or why that term ever came about. It still boils down to one thing, the government has NO valid role in end of life or medical treatment...

Funny story about that shop. I always try to use local business people where ever I live. I needed some body work on a car I had, so, I went over to that shop, not knowing anything about it, and asked about getting the work done, The owner politely laughed and said that he NEVER works on cars...
