I think I need Jesse's jujitsu to get people to do what I want. Instead I just used ALL CAPS in an email. I am trying to rid myself of the desire to be RIGHT, rather than getting what I want, but it is very hard. Also, since this is the theatre, and some involved are students, I also need them to know that had they handled things differently, there would not be a problem.

Put a bird feeder in your backyard. See if any birds come for the free food. See if more keep coming.
Yes! Because every time I go to the doctor, I refuse to leave until she's gotten the insurance company to also pay my rent and buy me lunch. OBVIOUSLY.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My near-libertarian niece once criticized the earned income tax credit as "socialist." When I asked her how the EITC caused the government to own the means of production, she asked what that had to do with anything.
Never did give me an answer.

So now he's saying this:
It never ceases to amaze me that human nature has to be explained. Should I have to explain that guys are more into looks than women? Should I need to prove that? Or can you just think about your life's experiences?
Also he said that if people want insurance they should pay for it. And I pointed out again that 1) a lot of people can't afford it even if they work full time and 2) some people can't get insurance companies to cover them.
It's also the last I'm going to say because this guy's logic is not earth logic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, Batman!
Neatorama sez:
Artist Sarah Johnson illustrates Batman doing what the super hero does when he’s not out fighting evil and protecting Gotham City. And they’re animated, too! Watch Batman fishing, eating ice cream, visiting the men’s room, etc.
Also, Batman nails.

It's times like this when I think about my life's experiences and how way too many of them include being lectured by douchebags on the internet.

That's when you reply with Are You A Wizard. Because he clearly is.

I think this boils down to deciding if we as a nation want to let people die in hospital waiting rooms because they can't afford treatment or in the case of children if they were irresponsible enough to be born to poor parents. Personally, I find that idea repugnant. I see it as putting ideology before morality and compassion. That isn't a formula that has led to good things in the past.
If we aren't going to let people die, then we are already subsidizing medical care for the uninsured; we're just doing it a very inefficient manner.
