I have a better idea; let's just stop thinking for ourselves at all, and let Uncle Sam do it for us. Just go about life with a blank smile, pay the required 100% tax rate, and not worry about a thing.
Ok, maybe all that was a "bit" extreme, but you get my drift. But I'm tired and cranky.  |

Extreme in todays world but I'd be surprised if elements of that don't become reality. Rapidly aging populations will exert extreme pressure on medical services & some form of selection criteria will need to be applied when dispensing certain treatments...it's happening already, if you have a bad heart for example, your age, your lifestyle etc will determine your eligibility to even join a transplant waiting list
