Ted,

I've much enjoyed and derived much benefit from your photography related
posts in my short time on the LUG but what you wrote below is even more
short sighted than the stupid slavery joke.  By your logic rampant disease
and  healthcare crises in developing nations are none of my business since:

A/ I'm not a citizen of an developing nation

B/ I'm not (see A) and I don't live in a developing nation either

C/ I certainly don't intend to die in a developing nation, not any time soon
anyway.

Regards,

Thomas

Steady son you are stepping on a very slippery slope! I apologized!

>It's also appalling that someone who spent 10 years photographing doctors
and hospitals not only has absolutely nothing to say about healthcare and
the effect its lack has on people, but describes any discussion of it as
garbage going across your screen. So what was it all about -   just Leica
fodder, something to point your lens at?<<<

Now lad yer getting right down nasty here. Personal attacks are OK if you'd
like to take me on off line, but like I said, yer standing on a now getting
very slippery slope and better have some safety harness handy.

The health care system in Canada is absolutely none of your business unless
you are:

A/ Canadian.

B/ And if you are, live in your home land.

C/ Intend on dying here.

Otherwise do not engage in something that truly is of no relevance to your
life style. And our health care system isn't any ones business other than
Canadians, so let's leave it like that.
