But I thought Brebeuf was no longer a Catholic institution, at least according to the Indy Archdiocese : https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2019/08/05/brebeuf-jesuit-appeals-split-catholic-church-barred-holding-mass/1920187001/

Good grief Dante, have you actually even read any of the quotes I have posted in this thread? First this: And this:

Not a shock to me at all IO. I would just like to see some concrete evidence of your assertion. That's all.

And nobody is saying that the IHSAA will send the "black SUV's" to South Newton. But one has to ask; has this complete lack of competitiveness over an extended period of time become a serious topic of discussion among SN administrators and most importantly the SN school board?

Links?

Four real state basketball titles though baby! Who in the Sagamore can top that?

The number of OMG! Athletes roaming the halls at that 4000 student school should be larger according to basic statistics. Why aren't they all on the football team?

Yet you and other socialists want to take the "market" out of the equation when it comes to compensation for medical professionals. The federal government will in effect get to set the salaries. And the feds will start by cutting their pay by upwards of 40%.

Because in a true market-based system I would get to choose, not the federal or state government. Is our current system perfect? Heck no, but it just happens to be marginally better than the socialist system that Canada has. I desire to move to a health care system that is more market-based, not less. A step towards that, as I have stated before, is to stop tying health care insurance as a perk/benefit of employment. Employers should stop providing me with a 'health insurance plan' but instead take that $ and put in in my pocket, so I can 100% choose what health insurance plan to purchase. That way little to none of the cost of that insurance is hidden from me, just like with my automobile insurance, my home owners insurance, etc. Should medical professionals make more than educational professionals in the USA? Why or why not?

It would help the numbers on the soccer, tennis, and cross country teams?

Glad to know you are such a basketball fan, a true Hoosier.

Just wait until there is a 1pm Colts home game on the local CBS affiliate and Fox is scheduled to show the 1pm Bears game. WXIN 59 will air crappy movies or Modern Family reruns instead of competing against the Colts for viewers. Annoying.

Yes, from a prior post:

Sounds like the heart procedure performed on Mr. Sanders happened within hours of the diagnosis. How long would Mr. Sanders have had to wait for the same heart procedure under the socialist healthcare system he champions? Heck, now long would he have had to wait for the test(s) needed to confirm the diagnosis?

I guess the Canadian doctors enjoy being poor, relative to their U.S. counterparts. And the current crop of Canadian physicians have been "brought up" in the socialist system. They simply don't know any better. There is also the fact that the U.S. population is almost 10 times that of our Canadian neighbors. The population of California alone is now greater than that of the entire Canadian nation. How well does such a socialist system scale? Is Canada the Right Model for a Better U.S. Health Care System?: https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/lessons-can-u-s-learn-canadian-health-care-system/ Does the individual, let's call him Citizen A, who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years then contracts lung cancer have the right to the same amount of health care as the individual, Citizen B, who has never smoked cigarettes and also contracts lung cancer? Why should I, an American citizen who personally abhors the practice of cigarette smoking, have to be forced by the federal government to pay even a dime toward Citizen's A's medical care?

Elizabeth Warren Is Wrong about Payday Lenders: https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/10/14/elizabeth-warren-is-wrong-about-payday-lenders/

Ahh, so under the current system medical professional make too much money (aka "substantial bucks") so a 40% pay cut is justified. After all it may help to put them back in line with those poor "starving lawyers". I see medical professionals leaving a socialist system like the one advocated by Sanders in droves, attempting to setup practices outside of the socialist system (if they legally can do this). The end result? A shortage of medical professionals working in the socialist system, resulting in longer and longer wait times for services. https://www.heritage.org/medicare/commentary/how-medicare-all-bills-would-worsen-the-doctor-shortage

https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/10/14/elizabeth-warrens-entitlement-plans-are-money-for-nothing/ A hypothetical for the GID legal professionals out there: Let's say some legislator's great new plan is to socialize legal services in the United States of America. Everybody gets "free" legal representation. Not just court appointed public defenders mind you, but "free" lawyers for things like divorces, wills, etc. Would you be willing to take a 40% cut in pay in order to practice law in this "universal legal care" system?

Or at a New Palenstine vs. Shelbyville football game. Or at a Western Boone vs. Frankfort football game.

But at what cost to the taxpayer? Do you believe unlimited universal healthcare for every man, women, and child in the United States of America should be a right? I just know that when my spouse was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, her treatment plan was setup, reviewed, and enacted with a week. In Canada and other socialist countries I seriously doubt medical action would be that swift. When a close relative of mine this past June fell and ruptured his quadriceps tendon while hiking, he was taken from the state park by ambulance to a local hospital where surgery was performed to repair the damage in a matter of hours. This occurred on a Friday. In Canada and other socialist systems such a surgery would probably have waited until at least the following Monday, allowing the severed tendon to atrophy and making a successful reattachment much more difficult and the subsequent recovery longer and more painful. No, you will never convince me socialist government "solutions" to healthcare are objectively better than the free market.

I would play this clip: If that doesn't get a high school football team fired up regardless of the competition, nothing will.
