Spain is now Greece.

Next up: Italy, followed by France.

Umm… Also, the lady donating her body to science cannot pay for her child’s surgery. And here I thought that universal health insurance was awesomely awesome.

This is just so maddening. I am sick at the thought of what liea ahead for the US.
I have an insurance plan through my husband that isn’t “supposed” to require a referral to another DR.
My 10 year old son has severe breathing difficulties and we had to jump through HOOPS to get him an appt with a specialist. This has never happened before! and just think bammycare isn;t even fully implemented yet…..

But while austerity tears at the funeral industry — and some say the social fabric of the country — it has been a boon for science.

I’m a science fanatic, and I say to blazes with such a ‘boon’.

Your starting to sound like a liberal when you talk about grief therapy.

Again, I will treat and respond to your comment the same way as I do them, until you lose someone very close to you like your spouse or child, or even parent, be quite. People react much different from person to person, to loss like that.
