They want desperately to believe It Will Never Happen To Them, so they let their fear convince them those "others" did something wrong to deserve such a fate. They didn't work hard, or pick the right career, or handle their money well enough to foresee a crisis, or get enough insurance, or take proper care of their health, buy a home in a place where natural disaster will never hit, drive more carefully, etc., etc. <br /><br />In other words, they believe that they're the gods of their own universes, that they're powerful enough to outwit a twist of fate or a random event or a sucky confluence of bad circumstances/bad genes/the occasional human error we all make. Silly rabbits. They think being human will never affect them.<br /><br />gidget commandoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-77930018890300492042009-08-29T09:40:41.796-04:002009-08-29T09:40:41.796-04:00Wow.

Your neighbors know if you are "deserving"--if you meet their standards for housekeeping, and yard maintenance, and number of overnight visitors of appropriate sex, and church attendance, and number of liquor bottles in your trash in a given week, and loudness and genre of music played etc. <br /><br />They are therefore in the best position to tell if you deserve healthcare (or anything else for that matter) which might otherwise have gone to them. Perish the thought that such treasures should go to the undeserving. <br /><br />If you're deserving, your neighbors will rally round and have bean suppers to help you pay for your medical treatment. At least that's what they do around w. TN. <br /><br />but I orate. Brilliant post Hecate. Makes me even more glad I never went into the Law, lest I ever find myself on the other side of an argument with you. :)xannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-19372117528727171512009-08-26T22:23:26.849-04:002009-08-26T22:23:26.849-04:00Brava!Brava!echidnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679020215025555419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-88778217311951711302009-08-26T21:27:44.200-04:002009-08-26T21:27:44.200-04:00whew. you go girl...whew. you go girl...fokowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706800143548736812noreply@blogger.com
