Land of 'Free'

Our soon to be enacted prescription drug entitlement extravaganza brings this recent news from Euroland sharply into focus, and gives us a look at our future..

"The changing demographic picture has produced political uncertainty and crowds of angry demonstrators in European countries where governments, reacting to the shift from youth to the aged, are moving to reduce social services, including the pensions that millions have been counting on for their golden years." - Straits Times
We can expect these further reactions in the near future.
  • Increased pressure to legitimize euthanasia (so the elderly sick don't suffer, don't you know?)
  • Novel approaches to leach more United States wealth, probably tied to Global Warming
  • A Sean Penn rant
  • Grannies turning to prostitution
