White Coat Cerimonary for Medical Students

Medical schools are now handing out white coats to freshman medical students, far too early inn my opinion, but liberal education reform, not suprisiny, takes the position that you don’t have to know anything. Traditionally white coats came after two years of intensive basic science including pathology, before moving on to patient care. Be that as it may, along with the oath, the white coat ceremony brings tears to the eyes of both students and parents, many of whom are Physicians.

Alumni Physicians donate many of the white coats, as I do every year. I cannot resist including a card with parental admonitions to wit, be first of all a scientist and humanist, the business will take care of itself. Do the PhD rout to a degreee, study genetics, don’t wear your stethoscope around your neck unless you are in scrubs and then you don’t need it - but learn how to use it, don’t talk medicine in the elevator unless you are alone and most of all keep the faith.

This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
