    It would suck if they lost it.

    Charlie Chaplin talked about the difference in the country before and after the NHS. He said when he left that children were skinny and had rotten teeth. When he came back they were healthy.

    As someone from Appalachia, that’s exactly what I seen growing up. It’s still like that today in some places deep in there.

    It doesn’t have to be that way and I can’t imagine anyone willingly choosing to regress like that.

    I hope we get this civilization thing right some day. It’s hard to have much hope when you see egos all around carrying on like the world is theirs and they’ll live forever.
