It's pretty fucking awesome that we are now landing robots on other planets with some regularity.

Government can perform some missions pretty well. Send people to the Moon. Send robots to Mars. Exterminate millions of human beings.

They do other things really shitty. Provide Medical Services. Educate children. Insure everyone's personal security.

Knowing the difference is useful.

Which is why countries that are deemed "socialized" don't do better when it comes to medical services and education.

Oh, wait.

The Fox probably thinks he's doing a swell job guarding the henhouse, Testes. The Hens might beg to differ but nobody asks them.

Many Socialized nations tax food to pay for medical services. The higher prices of food have placed the people are in a state of caloric restriction. I think we'll discover that a lot of the outcomes have nothing to do with the quality of medical services and quite a lot to do with lifestyles. The Okinawan experience.

"education"... how it is that Homeschooled kids in the US sometimes place in the ranks of top competitors of Spelling Bees? They don't always win but they sure seem to get into the higher ranks. When an Amateur can almost keep up with a Professional you gotta wonder about the competence of the Professional.

Un-Socialized kids are fucking nerds desperately trying to please their overbearing parents. Of course they do well as spelling.
