I'd say the vast majority of people in America that frequent the internet ONLY go to sites that tell them what they want to hear and want to be true.

I'll throw myself into that camp. I used to think that this was a fishing forum .

Really, it's our totally for profit health care system.  A lot of people making the decisions aren't doctors, and they are making them purely on the profit motive. 

Al what is your alternative? Issues with universal/government supported or fully funded health care system can lead to lack of innovations due to limited governmental funds available. The you get what you pay for situation. Currently those countries that have those systems like Canada and the UK benefit from the big pharma generating drugs in a for profit scenario. Ask yourself and maybe do the research on whether your wife would have had the care that she did and the medications/treatments that she used if she were in the UK or Canada? How long would she have had to wait for those treatments? Also would those medications been developed under their system? Maybe they would have, though I tend to doubt it.

Let’s get a couple of things straight.

1.Im not an anti Vaxxer

2. I’m not wearing blinders

3. You can’t teach me sh*t

Now lets get back to the subject. According to AL, if you go to college, you On average are at least better educated. 
Therefore since more people are going to college than ever before, I’m not agreeing with your anti intellectual comment. It’s more of an anti trust problem. People don’t trust the government or the news media anymore and are looking with a much more skeptical eye.

 

Sorry if I got under your skin a little.  I believe there is a trust issue and an anti intellectual movement.  They're certainly non-exclusive.

I went to a Trade School that is now called a College.

Kind of like a Farm all of a sudden becoming a Ranch.

This stuff has been gotten bat monkey dodo crazy, and it has exposed allot of systematic disorder and flat out stupidity. Take care of yourself and family. Be kind to others. The less you fuel this dumpster fire of emotion, & stupidity, the better off you will be.
