    The Price Of Small Government

    About the only thing I'll give Margret Thatcher credit for was how she handled that Faulklands War,she was right to stand up to Argentinian aggression.

    But,the Faulklnd Island wouldn't have been invaided in the first place if Thatcher's budget cuts hadn't left the Faulkands unguarded.

    Now,Florida has a TB epidemic after their right-wing Gov. Rick (block the vote) Scott closed that state's only TB hospitial.

    And these are only two examples(there are many more) of how the price of small government ,may not be a price we really don't want to pay if we actually knew the whole story.
    It is difficult for any decent person to sit back and not comment on the anti-Semitism,racism ,sexism ,and all-around ignorance espoused on the majority of DA's posts,it's fucking sad when one gets a warning for simply being a decent person.

    So, the TB outbreak is caused by lack of a TB hospital (which I would venture to guess is actually a research facility) and has nothing to do with the illegals bringing in third world diseases such as TB?

    Maybe we should ask him some basic questions to see what he does understand.

    I'll start -

    1. Have you seen the episode of Gilligan's Island where they tried to get off the island?

    You could say that about any thread started by Teller, right?
    Quando vem a madrugada, meu pensamento vagueia
    Corro os dedos na viola, contemplando a lua cheia
    Apesar de tudo existe, uma fonte de água pura
    Quem beber daquela água, não terá mais amargura

    Desilusão, desilusão
    Danço eu dança você
    Na dança da solidão

    I guess small government does indeed come at an awful price.

    Afte all,no one has logically refuted my point, they only give lame personal attacks ,or intentionally misquote me.
