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.
