I also would like to have that option for myself.

I agree that pet care is costly, but the primary difference is folks
*choose* to have pets. People can't choose to be born without teeth.
It's like if you haven't the funds to maintain it you don't *choose* a
Mercedes, you drive a Toyota instead, Same with pets, if you can't
afford vet bills for a dog or a cat you opt for a hamster, a turtle,
or a goldfish.
This remeinds me of my old friends in NYC who I was on the phone with
last night, Christo and Betty from Cental America have had a parrot
for a pet some 50 years now, Cleopatra is a riot. Parrots are one
owner animals so she is partial only to Christo. Whenever Christo has
to go out Cleopatra becomes livid, she attacks his shoes, rips at his
shoelaces, but mostly she cusses. Cleopatra is bilingual and has
quite the colorful vocabulary... when she gets enraged with Christo
she calls him homosexual, faggot, bastard, etc, and in English and
Spanish, she calls betty The Putana. And she's loud, they live in
Queens and all the neighbors can hear Cleopatra. I need to remember
to ask if Cleopatra knows douchebag, if not she will shortly. Anyone
know how to say douchebag in Spanish.

Dentist AND booze... no one has an excuse to smoke tobacco. I think
my yearly dentist and booze bill are about equal. I guess I'm pretty
lucky, I still have all my teeth and have never had any serious
procedures, never a root canal. I was at the dentist yesterday for my
biannual cleaning, found a filling that was chipped and needed
patching, I'll be back on Monday. The cleaning cost $130, 'bout six
months worth of Crystal Palace. I used to smoke, back when a carton
of Weinsteins cost like $20.

Among most everything else businesswise Obamination is a pinhead...
anytime costs go up for those who provide goods and services those
costs are passed on to the consumers. Raise the taxes for employers
and the consumers always pay. Raise costs on landlords and rents go
up. Raise costs on those who make the economy function and those at
the very bottom pay an ever greater proportion of the pennies in their
pocket. Obamacare doesn't hurt the upper echelon but it wreaks havok
on those already struggling to survive. And anyone believes medical
care is doled out equally to poor and rich alike I have this bridge
for sale in Brooklyn. I receive excellent dental care only because I
can pay for it in full at the time services are rendered. If the
grubbermint forces dentists to perform gratis you can bet your bippee
that you'd rather do without. Threaten the business owner's
pocketbook and jobs disappear, that's exactly what's occuring...
actually that's been happening since Bubba Clinton drove manufacturing
out of the US. An economy cannot exist on services only (services are
a liablity), there must be production of durable goods (producing
non-durables like food is a drain on an economy).

So again, when authorities controlled by religions act badly, the religions
are blameless. Alrighty then.
Understand that in the Dark and Middle Ages and even more recently in some
places, almost all European countries operated under the Catholic equivalent
of Sharia law. (The Vatican rep in the cited article isn't far removed from
this concept.) Religion was complicit in the misery of life in most
countries, using mind control over the populations to control kings and
governments, demanding state sponsored religion and using it as grounds for
all manner of horrific behavior. These centuries of horrors are, in fact,
the reason our American founding fathers demanded a separation of church and
state.

act on, just like most other socially inappropriate desires. Those

morally flawed. The church authorities who conspire to cover up
molestation are worse
than the molesters, in that the former don't have the mental illness
that tempts the latter.
They are analogous to someone who murders for profit instead of in a
"moment of passion."
Personally. I hate the Roman Catholic Church for their policies on
procreation. They'd
rather see a child born, then die a horrible death from starvation,
than to see women (and
men) use contraception. People who reject Malthusianism are foolish,
and institutions
that do so are evil.

You need to get yourself up to date. This may have been true in years
gone by, but from what I hear, the health of our teeth is now much better
than that of yours... Of course it is not something I would have even
mentioned, being a naturally courteous person.... I don't need to flaunt my
superiority to such as you ;p
