…of a perfectly good heart.

Cheney Recovering After Getting a New Heart

Look, I’m not big on dancing on people’s graves, and Dick “Dick” Cheney isn’t even dead, yet. But the thought that someone worthy of continued life may be denied a matching heart so that this 71 year old millionaire asshole can further pursue his miserable “they’re all out to get us so let’s get them first” existence just irks me.

You can’t make an argument that will convince me that a 71 year old man was a “better candidate” for a heart transplant without bringing in the fact that he made obscene profits running a protection scheme using the US Military in the middle east into it.

Dick “Dick” Cheney is a piece of shit. I hope his body rejects the heart he used his vast wealth to buy out from under a more worthy American.

There. I said it. The American medical system is unfair.

(Lifted from the Political Compass)

Who wrote of the “impeccable economic logic” of dumping the west’s “health impairing” toxic waste in “under polluted” Africa, because the resultant cancers wouldn’t have time to develop in a population with such a low life expectancy

Lawrence Summers, as Chief Econonomist for the World Bank, in a leaked memo, December 12,1991. Brazil’s Environment Minister, Jose Lutzenburger, wrote to Summers that his proposal was “perfectly logical but totally insane”. Lutzenburger was fired for writing the letter. Summers went on to greater things, initially as Treasury Secretary in the final 18 months of the Clinton administration, and now as Barak Obama’s Chair of the National Economic Council.
