The collective principle asserts that... no society can legitimately
call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of
lack of means. "
- Aneurin Bevan, In Place of Fear, p100
Which is why the US is not civilised...

privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low
self-esteem, no sense of humour or irrational religious beliefs [if you
want to believe in fairy stories and hug pixies that's up to you]. If
you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or
copying of this email is not authorized (either explicitly or

non-human (primate, mollusc, alien etc.) and find the contents of this
email offensive, you may discuss this with the RSPCA or the RSPC-ET, or
preferably baste yourself with garlic butter and roast at gas mark 8.

somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or
grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the
transmission of this email, though the kelpie next door is living on
borrowed time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear
of the unknown will be gratified to learn there is no hidden message
revealed by reading this backwards, so just ignore that Alert Notice
from Macroshaft. However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around
yourself and your computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and
your pets. If you have received this eMail in error, please add some
nutmeg and egg whites, whisk, and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes.
