Just kill the old people.

Most Americans are confused by the contradiction that President Obama’s health care plan can do more and be less expensive for the country.
It is a conundrum seemingly with no answer. But, there is a way.
You just kill the old people.
This is not a new concept. Some of us can remember the 1970’s sci-fi movies Soylent Green and Logan’s Run. The foundation of both of these movies, classics in my opinion, was that the highly socialistic leadership could only afford to run their governments if the expensive to maintain old people were killed. In Soylent Green, people we would consider ‘elderly’ were killed in a pleasant ritualistic manner. In the movie Logan’s Run age 30 was considered “old”. One’s thirtieth birthday was referred to as the “final day”.
Already U.S. Senator Tom Daschle has said, “Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.” Scary. Seniors will not receive treatment but will just be left to suffer and die.
President Obama said that seniors “…will just have to take a pain pill.” More bureaucratic dictated withholding of treatment and suffering for the sake of saving money. Our President, apparently, wants to kill old people.
This means that our Senators , may be voting to kill old people. Same with our Representatives. Next time you see one of these people ask them “Do you want to kill old people?”

  1. I thought you were against retiring. The new Surgeon General will protect the old people.

  2. Or the babies:

    And, FWIW, in Logan's Run it wasn't the old people, healthy young people were chosen at random.

    But whatever, as long as they're at least 10 years older than me, whatever age I am, that's fine.
