Had a chat with a conservative friend last night. He's worried that the upcoming election will bring us "socialized medicine." I explained that many institutions in this country are already socialized--but only the important ones. Ever notice the federal seal on a liquor bottle? How about gambling--it's only legal where it's run by the government. Some parts of Nevada allow prostitution--if overseen by the government.
So there it is: Socialized booze, betting, and hookers, and free enterprise medicine--we wouldn't want this socialization thing to get out of hand.
Just be careful. If you haven't paid your protection money to one of the insurance gangs, watch out when you stumble drunk on wholesome whiskey between a certified healthy whorehouse and a certified honest casino. If you get injured, buddy, you're on your own.
