A man went to church to confess his sins to a priest

[Seen on Quora.com, posted by "Nic" K. Mowe]

The man said, “Father, I've sinned and I wish to confess.”

“Go on, my son. Go on.” says the Father.

‘Okay. About two weeks ago, I was walking in my neighborhood, and my neighbor said her fridge was broken, and she asked if I could come in and fix it. So I went inside and started fixing the fridge - and then it started to rain really heavily. By the time I was done, it was still raining. So she said, 'You can't go out in this rain. Come and have tea with me, and let's talk.' "

"So we had tea, and one thing led to another, and I slept with her."

“But that's not it.” - “Go on, my son, go on.”

“Then last week, I was in another neighborhood, and a woman said that her oven wasn't working, and asked if I could help. I went inside, started fixing it, and again it started to rain, and after I fixed it, it was still pouring, so she said you can't leave in this weather. Come and have some food. So we ate and one thing led to another and I slept with her, too.”

“There's more.” - “Go on, my son - go on, my son.”

“Okay. Just yesterday I was driving in my car and it started breaking down. Luckily i was near a garage, and the mechanic turned out to be an old friend from high school. He fixed the car, but then it started to rain again, and he said, 'Come inside. Let's have some vodka and lemonade and catch up.' We drank, got a bit tipsy. One thing led to another, and I slept with him."

"Father: What should I do?”

Father turned to him and said, “Get out of here before it starts to rain!”

Why won’t single payer healthcare work in the U.S.? What is different in Sweden, Denmark, or Canada?

[Answered on Quora.com by J.J.R.]

I once listened to a talk by the world's leading expert on corruption. The expert was asked, flat out, whether the U.S. government was corrupt. The expert said ...
.
“It is impossible to say if the government of the United States is corrupt. What qualifies as corruption in other countries is the way your government is designed to work.”

The U.S. government is DESIGNED to be corrupt. In most other countries, the way our government works on a daily basis would be illegal.

That's why single payer healthcare works everywhere else but here.
