HUMAN HUSBANDRY:

Rather than people, we are now being thought of as a commodity, like livestock. This preoccupation with coupling good health to an individual’s utility to the greater society is part of what is behind leftist health care policy.

GOOD OR EXCELLENT HEALTH ARE OVERRATED AS A VALUE TO SOCIETY

I know that sounds provocative on the face of it, but here’s the context:
While as individuals we value good health for ourselves and our loved ones, and many of us strive for excellent health and general robustness, in a modern, civilized society one can lead a full life even without optimal health. This has been true for centuries, and many of the western world’s greatest luminaries have achieved astounding things despite suffering from poor health. In a time in human history, again going back centuries, where we don’t have to hunt mastodon to survive, it is the human intellect that is supposed to be paramount.

Postmodern leftism would have us believe that people of less than optimal health represent a defect in spite of their other capabilities. The fact that an obese scientist can find a cure for a disease, or a chain-smoking astronomer can make astounding discoveries is of secondary importance to our would-be insectoid overlords.
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!
