New Teaching Contract

Not all of our elected officials are all that bright. There's the "Legitimate rape," guy who thinks, "women can shut that whole thing down." Or the guy who thinks if we send too many troops to Guam the island will tip over. I don't want either of those guys deciding what I can and can't do.

I missed that one too! Is he on the science committee? You know the group: when the NASA scientists who built and launched the Curiosity rover testified before the science committee one of our esteemed, wise, learned representatives asked them if they saw Armstrong's footprints where they landed.

We always have someone telling us what we can and cannot do. Right now it is primarily insurance companies. Unless government tells them otherwise, they decide who gets insured. They decide the cost. They decide what medical procedures will be covered. They decide what doctors you can see. And because costs are so high, and inflated to give artificial discounts to insurers, you pretty much have to be insured.

+1 Who's to say that all of the insurance company directors are smarter than the "legitimate rape" and "island tipping" guys.

Not to mention that at least we elect the government but not the insurance companies.
