That’s a wonderful speech. I wish the US had such eloquent, humanitarians in our gov. :-/ we are so far gone now.

Fraud exists; but the best way to handle it is to audit and uncover it at the sources. BTW Medical offices and pharmacies do most of the frauding; but there are individuals who do too. It is better to audit and weed out the offenders rather than burn down the whole system.

I got my Science is Real tshirt just this week from They Might Be Giants! http://theymightbegiants.merchdirect.com/categories/science-is-real

Superallah is brilliant!

Graceful...that is just asking for trouble. :-/ poor kid.

My husband and I thought about it...Knutz...for about 2 seconds...

Obviously all underachieving kids need more support - all genders. and I hope this school really helps those boys. I hate to see their potential ignored or wasted.

I know I shouldn’t hope for a measles out break; but I wish these guys could get some pain out of the dumb policies they espouse.

I’m putting my money on Le’Genius Wisdom Williams.

Can we go German-style and call him Herr Dr. Prospero Gogo?

good catch - thanks!

She made the planet and its creatures, she wants you to appreciate it. If aliens land, no father in the sky is going to come down…

I think my biz has only the FLEX which is why I was jumping on that conclusion. :-/

exactly why I don’t have one

er...last time I checked Germany’s economy wasn’t tanked...neither China or many others. We are a very rich company, we can afford this if we do it right. I never felt that leaving it up to the good intentions of the insurance industry made any sense. It’s like letting the fox guard your chickens.

They pack lunch for kids here in the summer when school is out too. To ensure some kids get at least one nutritious meal a day. It breaks my heart. Those poor kids.

I catch myself interrupting too - especially when what the other person is saying is particularly interesting or exciting. I catch myself wanting to join in the party :-) I do note down my thought/question in my notebook. I struggle to hold back w/ people who are slow talkers or pause while they struggle over a word…

exactly what i was doing...ho hum...another Oscars night....

It is from the scene where the cowboy actor is placed in a very formal English country house drama. Ralph Finnes is the poor director who tries to coach Alden Ehrenreich’s cowboy diction so he can sound properly well-bred:
