In dealing with some health issues, for my 92 year old mother, it strikes me at how things have changed, and in my view, not for the better.

Take Health Care. Why do we now assume it is something that has to make a profit? Oh I know, people need ot make a living and all that, but today's health care is being controlled by big corporation, who have one think in mind, PROFITS.

David and I, use FIDO as our cel phone provider, and rather enjoy the nice rates. To begin with, it has a good family plan, that it no longer has, but because we signed up under it, they gotta keep that rate, for as long as we are customers.
