Cavemen
A recent issue of Men’s Health magazine devoted 15 pages to “eating a whole pig . . . everything but the squeak.” The rest of the year, MH warns guys about eating too much fat, salt, grease, and calories. The truth – we were meant to eat like cavemen. We have teeth especially for tearing and grinding, our guts can process meats efficiently, and we need protein – but beans get tiresome. Let the radicals say what they will – we are cavemen, just wearing better clothes.

Public option
Health care money covers my car payments – I can’t be objective about this issue. I can, though, report what I see. Thousands of people who are uninsured and underinsured are treated “for free.” The doctors get paid. The nurses get paid. The medicine bill gets paid. I get paid. Who pays all these folks? You and I do – NOW – the public already pays for these folks, with higher insurance and hospital fees. So, if everyone was insured by somebody, the cost for all of us could possibly go down – all the folks in my hospital who are getting paid, would be reimbursed. I’m simple, but that's pretty simple to me!
