In contrast, the opposite of a specialist would be a generalist or polymath.”<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert<br /><br />The term is widely used informally, with people being described as ‘experts’ in order to bolster the relative value of their opinion, when no objective criteria for their expertise is available. The term crank is likewise used to disparage opinions. Academic elitism arises when experts become convinced that only their opinion is useful, sometimes on matters beyond their personal expertise.<br /><br />A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, “having learned much”)[1] is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas; such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. The term was first used in the seventeenth century but the related term, polyhistor, is an ancient term with similar meaning.<br /><br />The term is often used to describe those great thinkers of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, each of whom excelled at several fields in science and the arts..Compleat Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838632975517068225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-5830954213500195782016-10-16T07:59:48.362-06:002016-10-16T07:59:48.362-06:00I have health care. If I need some care I reach in...I have health care. If I need some care I reach into my pocket and pay for it. I just blew a grand on my eyes..<br /><br />Now the spouse has health care.. In the beginning it was 350 per month, then 420 then 530 now its going to 750. And she has to ask permission to use it, visits for checkups are limited. Its about to get shit canned. <br /><br />On another note all of my buddies work has been postponed. Hmmm.. Something smells like 08..Compleat Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838632975517068225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-87642502958492365372016-10-15T05:14:15.264-06:002016-10-15T05:14:15.264-06:00I used to have catastrophic insurance. Started man...I used to have catastrophic insurance. Started many years ago at around $50/month and when it was cancelled, it was in the low $200s. At the end, the terms were I paid the first $7,000 of any one year's medical expenses, we split the next $7,000 and after that, I was 100% covered.<br /><br />So in essence, in my entire life, I never had insurance pay one dime for any medical procedure, minor surgery, check up, blood work or prescription. Nothing. Which was fine with me. I had insurance in case I broke a leg snow boarding or had a horrible car crash...whatever.<br /><br />It also meant I shopped around for everything. For example, my colonoscopy cost me, as I recall, $1100, cash. Repairing a minor hernia was $1500, cash. No co-pays, no free prescriptions, no free check ups...IOW, I had insurance not a ticket.<br /><br />When I was faced with ObamaCare, I decided fuck it. I haven't provided any medical or health info to the IRS on my 1040. I have never heard anything from them, not even one of these letters saying I owe for the penalty-which I will not pay. I believe millions have done exactly the same thing and that's not being reported by the government. It would just encourage others. Now with the biggest yet increases coming, I think soon the government won't be able to hide that.<br /><br />I just turned 65 and was automatically enrolled in MediCare. I called and asked WTF? They said I can withdraw but if I ever decide to reenroll, there's a 10%/year penalty charge.<br /><br />Personally, I'd just as soon have been able to keep the insurance I had. But them days are long gone. Like everything else, when the government gets involved, it's gonna get fucked up. When the government made health insurance a non taxable benefit, that when the shit started rolling in.<br /><br />Trump has promised to get rid of it, make insurance policies available across state lines and allow widespread HSAs. We'll see how Ryan and the other UniParty scumbags deal with that should he get elected. <br /><br />I see you've downgraded your slur of Trump from a narcissist to an ego-maniac. I agree he's definitely an ego-maniac. And was a womanizer, how could he not be as the promoter of the Miss Universe? But I believe him when he says campaigning across the country and seeing first hand, the nightmare, has changed him.<br /><br />You wrote, "When was the last time you heard a candidate say they were running for office because they wanted to serve the public?" Dude, it's happening right now with Trump. He says, I'm with you and he means it. Is he doing this to make more billions? Is he doing this to make his buddies richer? Do you know hedge funders have donated $122 Million to Hillary and $19,000! to Trump. Is Goldman/Sachs donating to him? Lehman Bros? Just a little to hedge? Nope. They know who is going to butter their bread.<br /><br />He did not need to do this. He's a multibillionaire. He owns premiere real estate world wide. Resorts, casinos, golf courses. ALL OVER THE WORLD. Did I see he generated $700 million in revenue profits last year? He has a gorgeous wife, a great family, grand children-IOW when most everyone that has ever lived would have, at 70 years old, just enjoyed the fruits of a lifetime of labor, he's working harder then ever to help this country get out of the Obama/Jarrett nightmare by putting his experience to work for us. <br /><br />Experience BTW, that Hillary has none of and truthfully, for what she has in store for us, his kind of experience is pointless.<br />MMMMinWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791810228821770464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-5375205565687378622016-10-14T15:30:35.367-06:002016-10-14T15:30:35.367-06:00I didn't realize that so many are pissed off a...I didn't realize that so many are pissed off about ObamaCare.<br /><br />I'm not saying you're wrong.
