us residents: fix healthcare, we're dying
us politicians: "let's make sure there's thriving competitive market for hospitals so when medical customers voluntarily decide to have a mental crisis, they can evaluate the care providers in their budget and make the most informed choice that works best for them"
us politicians: *roll out a public/private partnership website that runs a java applet to show you the two hospitals in your area and they both take only one insurance* "perfect!"
Guess I just always found it fascinating that half a billon years ago, Earth was essentially an alien planet. Things could’ve ended up very differently...

My favourite extinct monster is anomalocaris. Creatures during the Cambrian period were so strange looking. Which makes them interesting! Anomalocaris was basically a gigantic brine shrimp with an appetite for anything smaller than itself. Which was everything, because it was the largest animal in the world when it was alive!

...thanks to workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home, on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been looted thanks to the local police.

...by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
I spend another day not being maimed or killed at work...
