This disturbs me

I have a better idea: Once someone is no longer "useful" to society, why don't we take them out back and shoot them in the head.

It's just ironic to me. The Republicans don't want "rationing" (which already happens, guys) by doctors or the government, but they are totally and completely ok with the idea of rationing by ability to pay in the private sector. Ah well, I suppose that in the future, only lazy people will be too poor to purchase the private insurance geriatric plans.

Seriously, talk about LAZY. Which is why we should just shoot them.
