Don, I wish Mary the best of luck.

Well thanks, I guess, but "best of luck" doesn't cut the mustard for
me any more than vague promises of "hope" and "change" did.

"Rots o' ruck" was a dismissive derisive utterance back in the 'Nam
days. Modern lipstick doesn't substantially modify the pig.

Mary's care will be based on best available medical skill and
knowledge, not luck. That's none of your business because it's not
happening at your expense or at cost of increased national debt.

I reciprocally wish you best of luck with your health care choices
entrusted to politicians of your chosen party. Rots o' ruck!

Well, is it OK to say, "More Power To You!"?

Of course, thank you.

I'm also against socialist medicine, and against government intervention
of any kind in private transactions. Government's job is to fix the roads
and schlep your sewage.

I have no need for the guy who schleps my sewage to dictate what I may
or may not do with my own body, thank you very much.

But dangit, I _do_ wish you the best - nobody deserves to be struck down
in the prime of life, and I _am_ pleased to hear that the worst is over.

Cheers!
Rich

We're a bit past prime, I'm afraid, but I do appreciate the good
thoughts.
