So we should stop helping people once they can no longer work? Not that I
expect a different view from a social darwinist like yourself, but you
occasionally show glimpses of religious or moral views. Ah well.
And, Paul, weren't you just whining about how those cheap European countries
are pushing palliative care and NEM code statuses? Nice to see how quickly you
flip-flop your views within the space of the same thread.

Care to offer up any statistics for this conundrum?

Paul, you're ignoring the rampant drug abuse in many European countries where
it's legal. Of course, paying attention to fact would mean that you couldn't
slander blacks or hispanics as well.
