The sound of terror in this poor mans voice is going to haunt me forever. Thank you Austinist.

Kind of Hemingway-esque, wouldn't you say? Y'know -- a farewell to arm.

Yes, it does. It also reattaches them, provided you have insurance. Those who don't leave their fate to the whims of "The Market." He doesn't like lazy scofflaws lying around hospital rooms with bandages on their arm stumps.

Paul would never be elected, but there are still a buttload of Repubs who agree with his "No government intrusion. Let the markets rule" mantra. This is what happens when you do that.

Yeah, seriously. I mean, Ron Paul would never be elected. Talk about left field.

All you Ron Paul fans take note. This is the type of tragedy we can expect much more of if we abolish agencies like OSHA.
