Jim, that is where my revolt began. A hospital wanted to know if I used
any aids for seeing, so I wrote "spectacles", but then they wanted to
know if I used aids for walking, so I answered "legs".
They put me in a four-bed wars on my own. I guess they isolate the
anarchists. Great: privacy while paying public rates!
NOTE: I am a conservative anarchist. I don't like loud bangs.
