I will grit my teeth and try to give you the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps you have never had enormous challenges to overcome caused by either birth or trauma. Perhaps when you do, you'll more easily appreciate how someone who feels an overwhelming compulsion to be angry at the world can nonetheless resolve to exert enough self-control to at least be pleasant to others -- and then to be amazed at how such a person can not only be pleasant, but can even set an example for, and teach others.
Okay, so you know how to make fun of such economic illiterates as Luddites. Now learn to make fun of those who are Malthusians. Since Hitlary hasn't taken over yet, you don't REALLY believe there's a "fixed quantity of health care" yet, do you? Check out:

"Perhaps you have never had enormous challenges to overcome caused by either birth or trauma."
In those instances where my own bad judgment has had catastrophic results, I have taken responsibilty and attempted to minimize the impact on others. Mr. Brudnoy was a victim of his own bad judgment, and didn't seem to repent or reform. As to being "pleasant, I do not believe that I have any obligation, moral, social, or otherwise, to be Pollyanna, whether that would make me the wind beneath your wings or not. But thanks for the sage advice.
With respect to Malthus, "fixed quantity of health care" was YOUR phrase, not mine. Why, then, did you feel compelled to put it into quotes? Such misrepresentation would appear to be the act of a blatant liar, but I suppose I will "grit my teeth and try to give you the benefit of the doubt".
I do not believe that there is a "fixed quantity of health care". However, the amount of federal and state funding put into AIDS is way out of proportion to the health threat to the general, normal public. The only reason for such a waste of resources is political pressure brought to bear on cowardly or evil politicians by sodomites such as Mr. Brodnoy. You may think that to be a perfectly acceptable arrangement. I do not.
