You spend all your money on healthcare. Oh thats in 100 years.

I think I am gratefull I have viewed this last 100 years, and have been a part. Can anyone imagine how fast technology could escalate if the rate of technology keeps increasing at the current rate. I don't know if I would want to live in the comming years but who knows.

If that "You" above means me personally, I will regard that as a good deal!

Armageddon is scheduled for 2012, so I don't think there's much point in speculating.

A cloaked Klingon shop is still vulnerable to Photon Torpedoes.

You'd need the Phasing Cloak. ;-)

They're a bunch of white-on-white-on-white self-righteous prigs, and excruciatingly boring.

Hope This Helps! Rich

Either go on the dole, or make wars.

If Obama gets his socialist agenda crammed down our throat, by 2012 the USA will go the way of the USSR.

Thanks, Rich

With the money stolen from the 1%.

I've only been on the planet for 44 years but the change I've seen in those 44 years is astounding.

Start with telecom. Old bulky rotary dial phones gave way to sleeker Touch Tone versions. But it wasn't just the dial pad that changed. Advanced services started to become widely available. Now we have complete wireless service that nearly rivals the communicators on Star Trek.

Next up, medicine. We're rapidly getting away from the days when medicine was a shot in the dark. Diagnostic technologies are accelerating at a dizzying pace but the really dramatic change has been in understand the human body.

Cars are still pretty much what they were 50 years ago but with some new features. Fuel injection is pretty much standard and we're even starting to see ITS style features creep into cars.

Those are just a few of the things. In reality there is a hell of a lot more.

e ki ra, and you call the kettle black!

development is based on industry,(knowledge, social norms, economic drive, problem solving etc...), industry functions on energy requirements not oil... oil is only one means to an end and is so limited, invention must always ensue to make up the difference.

*** Hardy, I'd venture to add constructive ideas; but 4 the idiots... one would think mankind would at least grow up.

*** Hardy, I'd venture to add constructive ideas; but 4 the idiots... one would think mankind would at least grow up. ==================================== That will not happen. The last object to escape Pandora's box was hope, which carries as much weight as assertion.

What do they sell in a Klingon shop?

*plonk*

Do not reply to this generic message, it was automatically generated; you have been kill-filed, either for being boringly stupid, repetitive, unfunny, ineducable, repeatedly posting politics, religion or off-topic subjects to a sci. newsgroup, attempting cheapskate free advertising for profit, because you are a troll, simply insane or any combination or permutation of the aforementioned reasons; any reply will go unread.

Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are left to decide which is most applicable to you.

There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill- filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the same spot and repeat the process eternally.

This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry or crackpot theories without challenge.

You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I purchase a new computer or hard drive.

I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't, damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day.

You haven't heard? They canceled Armageddon due to lack of interest.

No, the real change has been the 5X price gouging upscaling the retarded entire medical community thought they could slip past all of us.

You want to fix health care? Force the bastards to STOP billing the patient for all the petty little shit, which is nothing more than a ploy to grab more cash. Force the bastards to STOP triple and quad billing the insurance companies.

For the amount they have been charging for the last two decades since computers.. FORCE the retarded bastards to put together an INTEGRATED database so other physicians that see a patient can also see ALL records of care given to the patient. What is currently in place is absolutely pathetic considering the amount of money they have pumped through their "practice". (They are practicing new ways of ripping off the American public).

This goddamned shit has to cease. Stop it, and we will not need to have health care reform.

Why is it that every economic downturn in this country is only a downturn for us? The goddamned greedy doctors have NEVER taken an economic hit. They should ALL drop their rates by about 30%. Not a goddamned one of them deserves the luxuries they have. They stole most of their wealth by way of their gouging prices.

One goddamned retarded doctor billed me for damned near $200 for "initial visit fee".

I am sorry, but a 5 minute data entry session, even at retarded registered nurse salary ain't $300, which was the amount they billed my insurance. At best, he should be forced to bill it at standard rates, which is a data entry CLERK rate for 5 minutes. That amounts to $10 not $300. If you ask me, billing the insurance for something that the doctor used to cover, should qualify as insurance fraud.

The medical community is very much part of the mess this country is in, and unless and until they TAKE A HIT on their greed, it will NEVER get fixed.

Treating the symptoms does not heal the wound.

Nothing changed since the times of Julius Caesar.

So the talkative grandmas can discuss the price of groceries for all their pleasure. What a useful change.

Medicine is the least developed of the sciences. There are only two of the medical metods: cutting off the broken parts and keeping you alive so you can heal yourself. They used to chop off the limbs with the axe before, now they do it with lasers and anaesthetics. That's the only difference.

Yes, there are some minor technical improvements of the Bentz's concept.

Nothing changed since the times of Julius Caesar.
