just skimmed what you wrote as i have to take off, but it sounds like we are, in part, agreeing. however, maybe i just misread what you wrote. the two are apples and oranges. getting back to my original joke: get rid of medical insurance all together! if you don't have the money for a liver transplant you should probably die. there are slight ethical problems with this, thats why I call it a joke. Is it a joke to you?

COULD THIS BE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN???

what would be awesome is if they jumped in and massively overpaid for players like some teams are doing. not saying that they aren't giving Olivo too much, but 20+ million for 7 years? For players in their 30s?

You must not like the Lookout Landing either. Hard to find anyone cheering this deal on. But I just found one!

looks like the HD version may have been going for $99 at Costco? They aren't selling it on their website anymore, though they did. Probably an in-store stock may vary type deal now.

VIO product looks nice but lots of money and HD version ($599!) isn't out yet.

GoPro Contour Oregon Scientific V.I.O. POV

Anyone have a helmet cam? Can you recommend one? I know there are some pretty nice ones out there. Colin is using one to record some if his climbs. I'm looking for one for a friend. It would actually be for recording skate boarding, but i think these things work for anything (mountain biking, skating, climbing, etc). Needs to have a wide angle lense (fish eye) and be helmet mountable.

Because the free market insurance industry is fucked? You know, the invisible handjob? Did you read the part about procedures not covered by insurance being mostly OPTIONAL? Its like comparing buying a new Lexus to getting a life saving kidney transplant. Apples and oranges.

maybe you are right. or maybe you are comparing apples to oranges. cosmetic medical procedures are generally not covered by insurance. most "life or death" procedures are. most "wellness" procedures are. if insurance doesn't pick up the tab, of course the industry is going to adjust the cost to make as much money as they can. Cosmetic procedures are OPTIONAL. Live and death procedures are too, or course. Perhaps only those that can afford to live should.

imagine a world where the wealthiest people in the world are also the most beautiful. the invisible hand demands it!

buds, you're sort of missing the point here. cosmetic medical procedures like botox...are getting cheaper? they should! they are unnecessary. of course the meaningful medical procedures that save lives and stuff like that....well shouldn't they be more expensive? because lives cost money! pay to play. pay to live. as it should be. the invisible handjob.

if the free market hadn't failed us, we'd all be living in Victorian luxury.

get rid of DADT and use this instead!

maybe if insurance didn't cover any medical expenses they would become cheaper too. then they could get the invisible handjob too.

I could easily see Cust pushing this teams 10 wins past last year!

Anyway Zaun has the best website in MLB, complete with Rush and System of Down rocking in the background.

supposedly it is partially based on John Rocker. [video:youtube]TOcQhqrqdpI if you haven't seen this show, don't watch this at work.
