Re: [Did I ever say anything bad about this person?] "You said the individual is hysterical..." NO I DID NOT. You were the one who said that (by morphing what I said earlier). Here is where you said it: Message 26437766 What I said (in the immediately preceding post) was: Re: "... that I probably would not be able to get it next year" Sheer hysteria, and unsupported by anything real that has, or will be actually implemented. (For proof... just check back in 'one year' --- the period of time that rally-rousing 'email' mentioned --- and see if IN FACT said procedure is 'banned'. I'm betting that no way in Hell will there have been any change. :-) I said that because it is true. (And my remark was directed at the supposed "doctor", NOT the patient....) The reply that was supposedly given by the "doctor" to his "patient" ("He then asked how old I was, and when I replied 70, he said that if this legislation goes through as intended by the powers that be, that I probably would not be able to get it next year, as that would be money better spent on someone else with greater longevity. I would be referred to someone to "counsel" me.") was a variation of the old discredited "Death Panel" myth. It is not true, there is nothing in the legislation mandating any such action. So, I was not saying that the "patient" was "hysterical" (although he might well have been after hearing such an answer from his "doctor", who knows? I sure don't. I don't even know if these two people quoted in this anonymous email are even REAL, or if this supposed conversation ever happened!), was I was saying was that the REPLY (which was supposedly voiced by the DOCTOR, not by the patient!) was a hysterical over-reaction and not founded in any true facts about the reform legislation.
