Massages

I asked my dad to look through the corporate information that outlines my health plan. I was interested in finding out if my insurance covers a monthly massage or two. It doesn't!

What kind of a country do we live in, where a man that wants a massage, gets refused because his dads health plan doesn't stipulate massages. Some word, on a piece of paper somewhere, says that im not allowed to have a professional put their hands on my back. Is my back that hairy? Massages should be free for everybody. In elementary schools, massage therapy should be one of the 5 main courses. whenever someone gets a sore back, they could just lie down in the street until someone came and tweaked out the kinks.

lying down in the streets, and waiting for help to come to you, might be an effective political strategy as well. Let me give another example. Russian soldiers attempted it during long war campaigns, that involved travelling across europe. When the winters got too harsh, and the generals kept pushing on, soldiers would just lie down in the snow and give up. Many thought this was a will to death. But what ended up happening, was the disheartened soldier found his metabolism slowed down and he entered into a state of hibernation. He ends up outliving his comrades that died in battle defending the motherland. Nietzsche says "since you would exhaust yourself too quickly if you reacted at all, you no longer react in any way: such is the logic."(ecce homo, page 14)

This is a possibled strategy of the revolution. I think the African American movement tried it, when they lied down in the streets and refused to move, creating major traffic jams (I could not find any evidence of this on wikipedia so i might have imagined it).
