More wishful thinking, really. Maybe, if I look up at the sky and try real hard, I can make other ambassadors think before they speak.
Then I look at my own delegation's record on that and laugh.
...it passes the time. That and whiskey.

I think if it were a medical procedure this pack of lushes would've made a shining beacon of open and responsive government by now; new proposals would be carried in by spell-checking bluebirds who only poop on repealed legislation, and defenestrations would become a silly amusement, judged like figure skating, rather than a grim necessity.
Steph opens the satchel that passes for her "briefcase" and roots around in it with both hands for a few seconds, then comes up with a small bottle.
Until that intern comes back with the porta-bar, this is all I got. And no ice, either. But hey.
Steph breaks the purple wax on the bottle of Laker's Lark and removes the cap. Takes a swig and passes it over.
Little more pretentious than I usually go for, but bourbon's bourbon.
So: now that this is also on the table, does the author care to address the comments made? Or just sit and have a drink?

Now, I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one one TV, but I'm fairly certain that zero illnesses are curable by vaccine. Vaccines are used to prevent a person from getting the illness in the first place, not as a treatment for one.

Probably poorly employed techniques by improperly trained healthcare workers?
In all seriousness, replacing PRA is on my eventual to-do list, but the "issues" listed within this repeal text are overblown if not completely wrong. I cannot support this repeal at this time.

That's.....strange. I can understand that nations would want to allow patients the choice to refuse even life-saving medical treatment, and there should be legislation protecting that right to patient autonomy, but don't most medical boards ban dangerous or debilitating medical treatments? I mean, from a "do no harm" perspective dangerous medical practices tend to be unlicensed right, so doesn't that make this repeal moot?
