Your humble blogger and wife seem to have hit that demographic where we are endlessly bombarded with surveys. Mostly, we ignore them. But last Thursday we received a survey in the mail from a graduate student at Southern University's Nelson Mandela School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs here in Baton Rouge, informing me that I had been selected to participate in a bit of research called, "Social Capital a Determinant of Political Decisions in Health Policy: A Case for a Single Payer Universal Healthcare System in Louisiana."
M'Kay.
According to the letter, this student wants to deduce "the likelihood of Louisiana voters to consider a universal health care system for Louisianians if presented during an election."
M'kay.
I think I'll answer the two-page survey, out of courtesy, though I can provide this young student the answer they seek and save them the trouble: The likelihood is zero. Nada. Not a chance in hell. Pigs will grow wings and fly first. The era of Huey Long's every-man-a-king populism, is over.
