Thanks, but I already have one.

You should have better things to spend your welfare dollars on.

BTW, What happened to the winger adage about telling the poor
how to solve their problems?

"Just make more money!! Then demand a tax cut !!", right?

All problems have simple answers. See how simple it all is when
you really look at it?

Um, Gummer ...... last I looked it was alive & well.

Something like 1/3 of the world's population, if not more,
as a matter of fact, depending on how you count things.

Medical care for those that cannot pay in advance, just
as one example, is Communism. "To each according

Yep. China.

Now now, don't be petty.

All problems have an answer that is simple, easy, obvious...
and completely, totally, horrifically wrong.

Right!

The only answers worth considering are big, complex, government
sponsored answers. Send money to the government, let them administer
it, let them choose the contractors, let them choose who qualifies,
watch them squander it.

Umm, George W. Bush, ** NAVAL ** aviator? Umm, wasn't he in the AIR
National Guard?
Wasn't it his FATHER George H. W. Bush that was the naval aviator in WW II?

I sure HOPE that one carrier landing, which I'm sure he was only riding
along on,
doesn't make him a naval aviator!

That is not true. 2+2 is a problem with a "simple, easy,
obvious" answer that is not "completely, totally,
horrifically wrong." Some people do suggest "answer(s) that
(are) simple, easy, obvious... and completely, totally,
horrifically wrong" for some complex problems that do indeed
require complicated, hard, and not at all obvious answers.
But some problems do have "simple, easy, obvious" answers,
that you might not like.

http://www.idt.mdh.se/~icc/1+1=2.htm is seemingly wrong (after
362 pages getting there) G.

Then see (for some background):
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/newton...th/MATH049.HTM
And http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Logic.html

IIRC Wittgenstein found the fatal flaw ..... and I used to
understand it sigh.

Now, about your "simple, easy, obvious" answer ..... ?
