   And to think actual college graduates watch Fox Propaganda Channel.

   (That is, if you’re generous to Liberty and Bob Jones ‘Universities’.)

   I haven’t had my regular annual flu shot at the VA Out Patient Clinic yet.

   I am an actual college graduate and I don’t watch the Fox News Channel.

   While Liberty University is an ultra-conservative institution founded by Southern Baptist Church preacher, Jerry Falwell, Bob Jones University is so radical right-wing conservative that it makes LU look like a moderate school.

   Heh.

   I worked weekends for six months at a gas station that was actually built on a lot that was a notch out of one corner of the BJU campus.

   I used to keep tracts for The Church of the Great Spider handy to give BJU types who’d come ‘round when i was alone there to proselytise me.

   My arents ran a small ad agency in Greenville in the 1970s, and did a lot of radio production work in the studios at WMUU, BJU’s FM station. My brothers, sister and i helped out.

   Some years later, Dad said he loved to send my sister, in her hippie clothes and granny glasses, or me or our youngest brother, with long hair and beard to pick up or drop off stuff, because he knew how twitchy it made the security types at Check point Charlie … errr … the campus gate to let us in.

   I’m opposed to socialized medicine and I’m not looking for a Canadian passport. I’m also not taken in by the hype about a strain of flu which is no more deadly than any other strain of flu in any other given year. Take a few minutes to research influenza and see how many people in the US and worldwide die annually of other common strains of the disease ( roughly 41,000 per year between 1971 and 2001 in the US). The big hubbub over H1N1 is just another example of hysteria fanned by misinformation and half-truths. This is exactly the sort of reporting which leads to specious arguments for government intervention in healthcare. If government run health care is such a good thing and will save money, how come Medicare and Medicaid have gone over their costs estimates for every year since they were founded? And why hasn’t Medicaid done what the new healthcare intiative is supposed to do? And with Medicare/Medicaid already in place, why is there a need to build an entirely new bureaucracy to augment this healthcare plan which is supposed to already take care of those who haven’t the means to pay for their own care? And finally, how will a bigger, newer bureaucracy cost less than the current one? I’m college educated, I’m not a Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck listener, and these are the questions I have. If the healthcare bill itself is over 1900 pages, can you imagine how many pages of BS will be required to run this new program? Is this program the means for re-employing Americans who have lost their jobs? Give them government jobs running this omnibus monstrosity of a program?

   Medicaid is limited to people with the lowest incomes. Why does private insurance spend so much of your money on things other than health care? And why do you want 40,000 Americans to die every year from not having health care?
