Brave New Films has put together a great series called Sick For Profit. It is really informative. But, a caution is in order here. If you have any heart in your body, this is going to infuriate you.
All opinions are welcome at this time. If it gets too out of control with threats and vitriol like I have seen on some sites, I may have to reconsider.
I am a late middle-aged Boomer who has become disabled largely through my own carelessness and moronic sense of indestructibility. I have been a flight instructor, a corporate pilot, an airline pilot and an attorney. From time-to-time I will become very preachy about the topic of taking care of yourself so that you don't have to endure what I am.
I had the privilege of growing up in the Republic of Panama within a framework allowing me to become a spoiled rotten asshole of an elitist. I rubbed shoulders with the 'ten families' of Panama and had one of the finest educations available at any price. I also had two parents with the good common sense to make sure that I saw the injustice of the caste system instituted and maintained by the European conquerors and my own Roman Catholic Church. So I ended up with what I believe is a wonderful perspective both on the plight of the indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere and the disingenuous postures of the proponents of neo-liberal capitalism.
