New Shoes and Socialized Medicine Team Up to Kill
A new pair of shoes caused 60-year-old Peter Catterall to develop a weeping sore on his toe. This might have been no big deal, had Catterall not lived in Britain, where medicine is under the control of a socialist bureaucracy. After being dismissed with assurances that the sore would heal by itself, he came down with blood poisoning and died of massive organ failure.
Under socialized medicine, everyone has one foot in the grave. At least Catterall didn't live long enough to be a burden on the system.
On a tip from Nanc.

His family should call John Edwards so they can sue the killer shoe company.

In other news, Australia Moves to Reduce Child Abuse in Aboriginal Communities, Left screams "Cultural Genocide".
Here's what the law calls for:
Under the plan, alcohol and hardcore pornography will be banned from Aboriginal communities and Aborigines will be forced to spend a portion of their welfare checks on essentials such as food.
If alcohol, pr0n, and child abuse are central to a culture, it deserves to be genocided.
