The only time I read the Dummy page is Sunday to look at the LOLcats post. It wasn't there yet, so I scanned some of the post titles, and this one jumped out at me, a rant by stargazernumbers.

It isn't that spectacular, just a 77 year old bemoaning its fate, and blaming it all on the government - bad teeth, bad car, job years ago was low paying so medical care was the lowest priority (get a better job?), daughter dead because of the government.
Nothing spectacular, the same old stuff that was there when I stopped reading their posts regularly. Some things *are* constant.
edited to add the rant that I forgot.
this country exposed me to radiation as a child-I had a life time problem with thyroid. Lost 3/4 of my thyroid to cancer. My country informed me after 60 years of age. What were they hoping? That I would die before they had to tell me? Exposed to radiation...what do you think if it were you used like that?
Next my older daughter died from a perfectly preventable medical condition...she just needed medication but not being rich enough to pay a doctor bill she died from lack of this country giving a damn about human life...oh, yeah and she was WORKING at the time, no medical coverage. The state of Washington told her since her income was $700 a month she was $3 over being medical helped. For that stinking little her 14 1/2 daughter found her dead one morning. When I think of Canada's medical system she would have never died.
My children didn't get medical/dental care even though I was working (paid so god damn little that rent, food, car repairs were the only things I could cover and not always the car repair to get to work. My country let my child die for lack of money and shitty paying jobs. And you want me to love and honor this killer of my family.
Now I have two infected teeth from lack of care. Oh you say why didn't you take of your dental needs? I tell you why, I needed shelter and food. I made an attempt to seek dental care from a Community Clinic. I found out I've been billed $80 I already scraped and paid $45 to seek dental care. I live on $970.00 per month, (social security-I am 77 yrs old) I do not get rent help or help with winter heating. Rent is usually at least $1000 where I am located. I live with someone else to survive monetarily. ...
Now my significant other is dying from cancer. He cannot get pain meds until Monday from the VA(money again). E.very day I fear my car will need repairs that I cannot cover. He has to travel by bus to the VA. Is there something else you can torment me with? Because I do not have the funds to meet these needs. At this moment I am feeling stress, fear and hatred for a country I was born in...because it has told me I don't matter a damn...suffer, you don't have the money to live
