Hey, Mr. Spock! Lew Rockwell Is A Libertarian Who Helps All Live Long & Prosper

Patronage Refund! *or* Why Everyone in Burlington Should Be a Member of City Market.

Reblogged from American Socialism for the Rich:

Click to visit the original post

Many of the folks I know who live in Burlington, Vermont have a mixed perception of our co-operative grocery store, City Market. Though they appreciate the convenience of the downtown location, it's often perceived as an overpriced natural foods store which might be nice for specialty items, but would break the bank if you did the bulk of your grocery shopping there.

Uh-Oh: UK To Ban Teaching Of Life-Extending, Patient-Driven Complementary Medicine

Anna Tyzack

Photo: Controversialist Anna Tyzack says alternative treatments put her on the right track as she exercised, gave up caffeine addiction, and started to realize health was part of a system not just some pill.

27 programs have been shut down–The glorious UK, once a pioneer, now under a right-wing government says things like the benefits of stress-reducing acupuncture( or regular) massage, not putting poisons or allergy-inducing foods in one’s body,  Osteopathic adjustment massage and ending self-defeating habits–or those seeking to e.g.  research the remedies of Chinese and tribal systems– to induce healing long accepted in the US are not ‘evidence-based’ and will be banned from universities–so say the officials whose ‘model’ health system is enmeshed in a scandal as coercive government ‘evidence-based doctors’–woefully undertrained by US standards to save money– misdiagnose fatal cancers as blemishes, prescribe aspirin for raging infections, and euthanize troublesome oldsters who dare to complain. Hmmm…dare we suggest–a user-driven, voluntary, universal, endowment based, free to the poor automatic  system with choice of providers run by unions as one possibility?…(See down our wall scientific knowledge by public in UK, bless ‘em) …Let the fur fly high!
