All I'm saying is that your Debbie Downer, bleak B'more outlook doesn't hold for everyone.  If someone just read your posts, one would wonder why America hasn't succumbed to mass riots.

I've wondered that many times.  I credit it almost entirely with a lack of sufficient privately held armaments and the existence of food stamps.

Yeah, I don't have much choice in the matter.  I'm neither wealthy or live in a big city.  I see a doctor through a place called "Pathways" which accepts Medicaid.  The previous doctor I had was Pakistani and I could barely understand him.  Still, he I could talk to him face to face rather then talk through a video screen.

We need to trustbust the AMA, double the number of medical schools in the country and stop requiring eight years of postgraduate education just to treat a broken arm.

As someone who'd like to see the AMA become the fucking joke that the ABA is out of pure spite, I'll sign that petition.

Suck it Cat People!

The American Heart Association (AHA) has declared that pets, especially dogs, are good for a person's heart. Further proof that dogs are among the best friends a person could have.

Dr. Glenn N. Levine, director of Baylor University's cardiac care unit, was quoted in a press release from the AHA saying, "Pet ownership, particularly dog ownership, is probably associated with a decreased risk of heart disease."

The AHA writes that owning a dog "may help reduce cardiovascular risk," perhaps due to dogs bugging their owners into taking them for walks on a regular basis. Dog owners were, according to the AHA's studies, 54 percent more likely than non-dog owners to get the suggested amount of exercise.

And the benefits don't stop there. The AHA writes that owning a pet in general "may be associated with lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels" as well as a lower rate of obesity. Pets can also help a person cope with stressful situations
