You really shouldn't miss this: Gary, for those of you who are steadfastly
resistant to information, is the guy riding around the country on a lawn
tractor. He's trying to raise money for surgery which he desperately needs
and will - in the process - also enter the Guinness Book of World Records
for his feat.
The video interview is this week's feature on CMG-TV -

The really disgusting part of press coverage in this regard is that the
media insist on treating Gary as an entertaining oddity...a Clown Prince of
sorts; fodder for interesting color stories and nothing more. The *REAL*
story - the one nobody wants to tell - is that Gary's case is an absolute
condemnation of government bureaucracy, officiousness...And more important,
it is damning to the U.S. pseudo healthcare system: A system that's great
for the rich, but for the poor it can be accurately described as the *worst*
healthcare system in the industrialized world. It's too bad that nobody in
the media has the guts to tell *that* story.
Sincerely,
The Cranky Media Guy
