And then you get folks like my mother, who is on disability from the Navy and says socialized health care would be awful because what she has is practically socialized and it's not great. Not of course getting the point that it means she has health care that she doesn't have to pay for, and that if she can't afford other health care, maybe other disabled folks can't either. Sorry, long, involved, and ultimately useless anger at Someone's failure to get a clue.
Dodgeball sucked when I was a kid. The other kids showed pack behavior to tag out the weakest and slowest kids (i.e. me). For the life of me, I have yet to figure out what it was supposed to teach other than "Beat people who are weaker than you."
