One of the big problems with health care in this country is that people don't take responsibility for their own health. They eat lousy food. Or should I say "over eat"? In the process they consume excessive amounts of fat and sugar. They get no exercise. They become diabetic. Their arteries get clogged up and they have heart attacks and strokes. They develop cancer. Then they demand that the medical system go to any lengths to keep them alive. Who ends up paying the bill? Never expected to get into this kind of discussion on this list. But all in all, as long as it's gone on and as many people who have participated, to this late interloper it seems, for the radical differences of opinion, to have gone on pretty civilly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
