P.S.S. <br /><br />P.S. Probably because I like the letter S more than other letters, and I was nine, and nobody ever corrected me. <br /><br />P.S.S. I'm not 100% certain that I never did a P.S.S.S. <br /><br />P.S.S.S. I suspect that cartoons leads to A.D.D. which in turn leads to multiple postscripts. <br /><br />P.S.S.S.S. And Twitter.<br /><br />P.S.S.S.S.S. Which technically means that you could blame Bugs Bunny for Donald Trump.

As if it should make a difference where the crime took place.<br /><br />I filed a Wrongful Death lawsuit (in L.A.) that for reasons that would be too long to explain here failed. However, it is worth explaining because it as interesting story of medical evil, but I'd have to do it in a book. I even found a prestigious medical doctor in New York to explain the homicide in nine pages of minute by minute detail.<br /><br />I had to go out of state to find an expert because no local or California expert would get involved in a capital crime. It is hard (not impossible) to nail a doctor no matter the amount of fraud that was extensive in this case. Moreover, for medical malpractice in California there is an unjust law to benefit doctors, hospitals and insurance companies called MICRA that limits recovery to $250,000. So that makes it nearly impossible to find a lawyer to take the case especially if the patient is elderly.Trumpithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252672877713167746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-12435080495161148962017-02-01T15:31:15.354-06:002017-02-01T15:31:15.354-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Trumpithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252672877713167746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-71758568379157607322017-02-01T15:24:52.350-06:002017-02-01T15:24:52.350-06:00Bro do you even Thracian physician?Bro do you even Thracian physician?Bad Lieutenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091901464339059169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-84360024882158681672017-02-01T15:23:59.179-06:002017-02-01T15:23:59.179-06:00AReasonableMan said...

They will just decide the cases based on the constitution and the law. Not satisfying when you're a progressive and unhappy with the slow rate of "progress" but at least (are you listening progs?)unlikely to move the ball rightward, except for egregious mistakes. If you force the Republicans to invoke the Reid Rule* and kill filibuster for SCOTUS, Trumps next nomination might be for a conservative activist.<br /><br />*The Reid Rule was not just ending filibuster for Judges below SCOTUS and Cabinet appointments, like some think. The Reid Rule was that the rules of the Senate can be changed with a simple majority.

There is no question about that."</i><br /><br />Francis of Assisi might disagree with you, as he seems to have been rather chummy with his "Sister Death" as his health deteriorated.<br /><br />Nonetheless, although a case can surely be made, at least in some cases, for a medical nudge into That Good Night, there remains the specter of widespread abuse, not in the sense that people will be murdered but in the sense that some will surely feel intense pressure to just check out already once their lives have become inconvenient to others.<br /><br />Thus, one might support legal and open euthanasia if one believes the specter can be controlled and contained. Since I have no such belief, I continue to believe that that the (real enough) benefits are not worth the near certainty of abuse.<br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099940931064117337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-4370735634074681352017-02-01T09:22:02.174-06:002017-02-01T09:22:02.174-06:00The answer to the old question Can a footnote have...<i>The answer to the old question Can a footnote have a footnote? is: Yes!</i><br /><br />How about a blog that is nothing BUT footnotes to footnotes, going off on tangents and circling back, only to go off again?
