Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Guess What's Going on in my neighborhood

[Dennis Liu (bigheaddennis]

Um, Dr. Ken, no one is asking you to pay for them.  In fact, this scenario
pretty much blows your complaint out of the water.  If the government
intervention you're lamenting about was truly available to this woman, then,
uh, she wouldn't be living in a dilapidated home that's about to be
condemned.
 
A large corporation, in partnerships with other companies, is providing the
upgrade.  They are paying a lot of money to contractors, laborers, and
probably neighbors and the town itself.
 
It's not costing YOU a dime.  If you don't like it, don't watch the show.  
 
=========
 
Jeez, is NO ONE applying their brain to this issue??  I'm usually the first
to agree with Dr. Ken's libertarian rants, and I'm a huge critic of the IRS
and tax policies, so I can't believe I have to point these things out.  Come
on, people.  Think/read before you post!
 
That's it, I'm done on this.  Back to cars.
 
vty,

Actually, Ken and Dr. Steve, if you bothered to check out the ABC website I

send earlier, you'd see that the single mother with the kids portrayed is a

single mother who adopted three kids with AIDS (she had one biological son

too).

Same answer - if you can't afford to adopt babies with AIDS don't ask me to
underwrite them when you do. I'm tired of paying for everyone and
everything. If Oprah wants all the poor little kids to have health care let
her shake loose of that billion $$$ she has stored away. 

Health care is not a right. If health care is a right then I have a right to
have someone pick my cotton for free too. Rights only accrue to the
individual, they do not involve the forcible transfer of time, funds and
effort from others. Voluntary charity is fine and dandy, it's the force I am
opposed to. 

If women would stop imitating seminal spittoons and keep their pants
buttoned we would have no more caterwauling about poor babies with no health
insurance. Actions have consequences. Her actions - her consequences. Or I
could also be completely wrong, in which case I want to discuss my right to
another Ferrari.
