An interesting article. Of course the first line in the article says
that it is for people in "elementary school" which, in the U.S. seems
to be the first 4 grads in the school system. the Wiki says for
children between the ages of 4 - 11.
Which apparently says something about either your reading, or
comprehensive, ability.

I posted it because we have Leftists here and we all know that they
are dummer than dirt. Now do you have a problem with the Contents of
the article..or are you simply bitching because it explained things so
the Leftist could understand it?
Hummm?
Gunner
No, I didn't spend a lot of time studying the article, but it seemed
to say that at various times slavery has been a part of almost every
society, which, of course, is true. After winning the Battle of
Alesia, September, 52 BC, Julius Caesar gave each soldier in his army
one of the captured as a slave. This amounted to something like forty
thousand slaves.... from a single campaign. In his eight years of
campaigning against the Gaul's, he was said to have enslaved more than
a million people.
What the article seemed to ignore was that in nearly every society
slavery died out primarily because slaves, while cost effective in a
purely agricultural environment are somewhat less efficient when the
society becomes less dependent on agriculture and begins to depend
more on machinery.
Yes..and your excellent summation had what to do with Leftist world
views?
Gunner
I don't know, after all you would be a far better spokesman for the
"leftist" side of things, being the recipient of government furnished
medical care. In a purely "rightist" environment - pay for what you
get - you would be under the ground.
Odd.."government supplied medical care". Oh..you mean like Medicare
and VA care and whatnot?
Gunner
Nope, I was referring to the government mandated laws that say a
hospital must give emergency treatment. If you had to prove that you
were capable of paying the medical bills before you were admitted you
would be laying six feet below the surface.
Say..does that work the same with with Medicare and the VA?
Hummm?
Now..if you have a problem with the "government mandated
laws"..perhaps you should take it up with the government?
Or are you simply being an ass visa vis me, personally? And if
so..how did I manage to **** in your cornflakes?
Hummm?
Nope. I have no problem with either the government or you.
I was just reminding you that for all your ranting and raving about
"left-wingers" you apparently were quite happy to take advantage of
the "left-wing-style nanny government that cares for you" style
treatment that you got at the hospital.
Odd..Ive been paying taxes for about 50 yrs and I could have bitten
the bullet and gone to the VA. So what "leftwing style blah blah" are
you talking about?
Exactly what I was talking about.
You live in a "Father knows best" environment and bitch about left
wingers while sucking everything you can from the government tit.
Really? So my taxes didnt entitle me to the same care that everyone
gets? Odd isnt it that illegal aliens dont pay taxes and get the same
care ...for free. Interesting.
Apparently your tax doesn't entitle you to anything special as you
describe the non-taxpaying immigrants getting the exactly same
treatment that you do.
So, what does this "tax" actually do for you?
By the way, I have a good mate that grew up in Hungary under the
communists... he tells me that under communism nobody paid taxes.
So what you are describing is even worse then the system that Uncle
Joe used to run. They had free medical care and no taxes :-)
They also got **** for medical care.
Cuba is the same
And you know this how?
My mate retired in Hungary and tells me that some of the same doctors
who worked in the communist medical system now work in the "Free
Hungary" system. And as for "**** for medical care", you apparently
aren't aware that many Germans travel to Hungary for medical and
dental care as medical costs in Hungary are much cheaper than Germany.
But probably all them iggerant Uropens don't have no decent medical
care.... Right?
Well actually that isn't exactly correct. You see the U.S. medical
system is rated rather badly by the World Health Organization -
30-something in the list of the world's countries. although it is also
the most expensive, and even worse it ranks 14th in "preventable
deaths" with a rate of 110/100,000. France, for your information, is
first with 65/100,000.
The Washing Post even had an article headlined "Once again, U.S. has
most expensive, least effective health care system in survey". The
survey covering 10 other western, industrialized nations -
"This is the same spot it occupied in four previous studies by the
same organization. Not only did the U.S. fail to move up between 2004
and 2014 -- as other nations did with concerted effort and significant
reforms -- it also has maintained this dubious distinction while
spending far more per capita ($8,508) on health care than Norway
($5,669), which has the second most expensive system."
So what has you tax dollar done for you lately?
I would have assumed that a "True Blue Right Winger" would have
refused treatment until he could provide evidence that he could pay
for treatment rendered.
Why? Its the law isnt it that my taxes get used for Medicare..among
other things..right?
Think Ive not paid my fair share in hummm...45 yrs?
What..no answer?
All those retired folks who are using Medicare..they too are sucking
on the Dole as well?
Fascinating.
