Interesting discussion with patient, #2397....
Early thirties, Progressive, married with child, well-educated....
She said all the right stuff about Trump, the country, the Republicans, Kavanaugh, you-name-it. she thought impeachment wouldn't be successful because of the Senate makeup and the whole Russia thing she had right on the money....
Wait for it...
so I mentioned my line that one morning, perhaps he wouldn't awaken.
She was horrified..."We don't do things like that in this country!"
Me: I wasn't implying that anyone other than Colonel Sanders or Ronald McDonald might "do something", but what makes you think that that was an impossibility - that TPTB wouldn't do something "evil" After all, we certainly did it in other countries: Chile, Iraq, Iran, and many others...
She: But they would NEVER do it here, its illegal and immoral. And there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.
Me: I wouldn't dream of trying. I don't try with the Tea Party people and I wouldn't with you.
I found it interesting that people have certain walls over which they will not climb.
I then told her of a close friend of mine who served in the Army. HE was also a real Progressive and lifelong Democrat who was drafted because he had left college. He was pro-everything that I am, we are extremely congruent except for one thing.
He did not believe in having gays in the military. Now he is all for gay rights, gay marriage equality, all the good stuff...except not in the military and you know what he said to me?
"You never served so you don't understand and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind so don't even try."
There's no real response to that...and no point starting a fight so in both cases, I said nothing.
:thatsright:

1. Drill 'em. Fill 'em. Bill 'em.
Send one of the staff to check if there's a tRump sticker on their car. Bill accordingly.
Yes- cheat them if they think the wrong way. :bird:

3. I don't blame her for not advocating assassination (that's what it sounds like...you were suggesting). If I got it wrong let me know.
The guy is off base on gays in the military.
:whatever:

4. I was not...
I simply said it'd be easier if he just didn't awaken.
The point was that she acted as though our CIA would never do anything it shouldn't do and we are the good guys in all moral and legal manners.
:yawn:

Assassination is exactly what PCI was advocating, and he’s too much of a chickenshit to admit it. Plus he’s one of those ‘if you don’t believe exactly as I do you’re not a real, true, progressive.

Billing a patient "accordingly " because of their political preferences? You DUmmies are a special kind of ****ed up.

A case of electric pencil sharpeners couldn't give that :bouncy: a point.
I hope that female patient recognized her need to find a saner dentist.

7. Two of my kids served
And I have a SIL who was special forces. None of them give a shit about gay people in the military.
Kind of off topic, but doesn't SIL stand for sister in law? So, the primitive's sister in law was in special forces?

Could mean son-in-law. I usually think "sister" because I have a couple of that variety of SIL, but none of the "son" variety yet.

Ok ok I can see that. Though I still don't believe it.

Bill what you want, a million dollars. If it's insurance, it's paid by fee schedule per contract. Dumbass.

Which sucks for him because what a true progressive is supposed to believe can change pretty fast. If he is not careful he could be behind current orthodoxy and be accused of crimethink.
