That's why, whenever McCoullough's girlfriend (or boyfriend) doesn't put out, he can just post here and rail against "stoners" and feel better.

Seems no one takes any responsibility for anything, not even their own actions (and that goes from this stupid kid all the way up to our stupid government). Basically for as long as there are money to be wasted - someone will waste them. Good recession 30's-style will purge and clean this country one day (and if it will not, then "God save us all" as old atheists also say ;) ) Lack of responsibilty is the problem.

I was in SF the other day when an alcoholic bum, bleeding from a head cut was tossed out of a McDonalds for harassing customers. Outside there were 4 cops, an ambulance with 3 medics, and a full size fire truck with 4 crew. The guy was belligerent and pissing the cops off. I stood there and watched them deal with this prick for 45 minutes. He ended up being taken to the hospital, then probably to jail. I couldn't help but wonder to myself how much money was being wasted on this looser that day. Based on what I saw, probably north of $10k, easy. Now if I, as an uninsured, currently unemployed, but upright citizen had fallen and cut my head, then I'd be slapped with $20k in medical bills and sued when I couldn't pay it. That is assuming that a hospital or doctor would even see me once they figured out I don't have insurance right now. He, because he is a drunk street bum, gets better care than me. Sad.

"dropped some acid"?? Is that how captains in the fire department talk nowadays? As to the $10,000, I'm not surprised. I know someone who tripped and broke their ankle and had to be taken by ambulance about 30 miles to the hospital. The bill was well over $1000, and there was no triangulation, fire engines, search, or donuts involved. That darned health care stuff can be so expensive. Thank goodness our politicians have provided us with affordable universal health care. “really gorked”?? “dropped some acid”?? Is that how captains in the fire department talk nowadays?
