As we regard the current health care debate, it is best to consider these words, spoken by perhaps the greatest mind of the 20th century....Richard Feynman:

"The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity*, and until they do (and find the cure), all ideal plans will fall into quicksand."

Feynman was an incredible being with a marvelous, wry sense of humor. Loved his books.

Feynman is my all time favorite science guy. Runners up are Leon Ledderman and Michio Kaku.:biggrin2:
