C.A.V.E. People vs The Publicly Educated

Perhaps there are more than one person on Facebook using the acronym CAVE, but for the uninitiated, it apparently means people who are Critical About Virtually Everything.

Now one of the most important aspects of education is to cultivate the ability to think critically... or at least it used to be. Once upon a time, there were these individuals who fancied themselves independent thinkers. This was before all the politically correct group think and altruism that infiltrates almost every aspect of our society now.

So, I found this gem of a comment on the White House Fan page on Facebook, regarding Healthcare reform. You'd swear some Republican had planted it to make Democrats look bad. Maybe so, but I tend to think it is the genuine opinion of the poor, dear, uneducated child who posted it:

I feel most nay-sayers (of government health care) are C.A.V.E people (critical about vitualy everything). How do these people think we became America? The Gov would be able to pay for a lot of this by repealing the BUSH TAX-CUTS...that is over a TRILLION $$ a year right there.
Why are we so scared of these SUPER WEALTHY people.
Havnt they done enough damage to our country?
We must STAND UP and NOT BE AFRAID....WE CAN DO THIS!

I won't argue her definition of super wealthy or even guess at who these wealthy elite are.. well maybe one guess, maybe she means the politicians? The political elite? Cuz' let me tell you, those guys got it made!

The part I find humorous is this, that somehow, she believes that our founding fathers would have supported our government providing health care to the people. I feel as though I do not even need to explain why this is absurd... but apparently there are some individuals who couldn't find a clue if they tripped over it, such as this young lady. Perhaps she has never been taught a thing about liberty and freedom from tyranny or how the authors of the Constitution engineered the framework of this great country to keep the federal government from wielding tyrannical power over the people. If the federal government does in fact wield power over our health care, then that is essentially having power over life and death. Our forefathers were quite critical about many things and planned appropriately. I know for a fact, they did not venture into this American Revolution willy nilly.


I do not trust these "angels" of government to look out for my best interest and I certainly do not trust them to make decisions about my health care.

I do find it a bit chuckle worthy that one should not be "critical" about the government being in charge of their health, LET ALONE ASKING "WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THIS?!?!" We already have a ponzi scheme called "MEDICARE" that we do not have the money to pay for, how exactly will we pay for Medicare for all???? Of that's right, the "government can pay for it"! Hey, where exactly does the government get that money? Tax payers? China? Hmm might need to think about that one... I bet they have a money tree in the White House Garden!

One more thing, if the richest people profited the most from the "Bush Tax Cuts", then who is to say that these "super-wealthy" people will bother to generate anymore wealth when these tax cuts go away? If they are so wealthy, what does it matter if they ever employ another person or generate any further income to tax? If it were me, I'd probably relocate to some other country or move my operations and assetts off shore... I'm just sayin...



They don't teach economics or history in public school anymore, do they?

Itchy crotch?

The pharmacy was sort of quiet that day. I was just starting to walk out and forage for something to eat, when the creepy old lady walked up to the drop off area. She asked one technician, who gave her a blank look, "What?", she said. The other technician in the corner walks over and says, "What are you looking for?". They both look down to me, with pleading faces, "can you figure out what she is looking for?"

I walk down and she says, "I need some Vaginaless! My vagina is all burny and itchy."

"Oh, Vagasil? That's in the far aisle by cosmetics."

It sounds like a good product, though. Vagina-less! Works so well, you'll forget you even have one!

What a creepy old lady. Wrinkly, corpse like... remember that bathroom scene in The Shining?
Being the friendly, helpful, and alas still hungry, pharmacist I am, I rang her up. She was telling me, "I think this happens because I only drink coffee and strong tea"
"Maybe you should try and drink a bit more water?", I say.
"Oh I hate water! Never drink the stuff. Might be because of my bathtub, too. I soak in that rusty old tub and I bet that might have something to do with it!".
"Umm maybe." I say

Somehow, I am no longer very hungry... damn creepy, old, itchy crotch lady!
