It ain't rocket science, folks, trust me, I was a math/physics major once upon 
a time.  It's a bit harder than the simple first order derivatives of rocket 
science but a lot easier than getting an angel food cake or a souffle to come 
out of the oven right, and your mother managed that with less screaming than 
the several days she spent in labor (if you take her word for it) during your 
final compile phase.  (If she screamed during the edit phase, she probably 
didn't mention it to you).

Yeah, I can be a bit crude.  Blame it on beer and the fact that I have no idea 
where my aunt and cousins who lived in Bay Saint Louis MS are, and those were 
my only cousins with IQs above english cellar temperature (in C, not F).  New 
Orleans gets the press since it only existed because of bad government 
decisions (as though any government ever made a good decision), but the area 
where the core of Katrina went is ignored.

But today doctors are as dependent on Medicare and Medicaid as their
patients are.  The great narcotic of the welfare state has caused
consumers and doctors alike to lose faith not only in the free market
but also in the concept of voluntary charity.  Everyone has lost faith
in himself and in others.  -- Jacob Hornberger
