Hey you bums!
Thanks for asking about me, I was just taking one of my many PO.com sabbaticals to recharge my pontification batteries.
But, out of the blue it dawned on me and those around me that I was losing weigh really fast and along with a bunch of other bad physical things going on, last Monday the 18th I wound up in the hospital. Turns out I have Type I diabetes and was obstinate enough to wait almost too long but they succeeded in pulling my sweet buns out of the fire.
The doc said I was half-a-day from hell - such things have a tendency to change people's outlook, I'm anxious to see how this will change mine.
I'll let you know.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)
