A superb tale. The man is a genius.

I love that guy.

In Ancient Rome
There was a poem
About a Dog
Who had two bones
He licked one
He licked the other
He went in circles
Till he dropped dead.

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want

“Freedom of Choice” by Devo (Are we not men? We are Devo!)

Today we are living in a time when the President of the United States is telling us that he is going to help us take that other dog's bone away -- and the end result is likely to be very much like what it was in that children's fable. Whether we are supposed to take that bone away from the doctors, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies or the insurance companies, the net result is likely to be the same -- most of us will end up with worse medical care than we have available today. We will have opened our mouth and dropped a very big bone into the water.
