Do You Want A Democracy?

October 7, 2009

Do you REALLY want a democracy? The healthcare reform farce we see in Congress is proof positive that we do not actually enjoy a democracy in the United States. Who is to blame? You and me. Who can bring back democracy? Only you and me. How, you ask. Well, that’s what I’m here for. I [...]

We’re Number 37

September 10, 2009

Why isn’t Congress embarrassed that even a country such as Costa Rica outranks us in healthcare? Are we, as a country, really that incompetent? Though our politicians obviously are, I prefer to think that we, the people, are not. The statistics come from a study by the World Health Organization (WHO) done in the year [...]

Drip, Redux

August 13, 2009

A few of us are unfortunate enough to be able to remember the decade of the 1950s. I’ll refrain from naming names. But, I will if I have to. There was a major scare back in that strange, misbegotten decade. The “Bomb,” of course. No. Even scarier. The Communists had an even more devious plot [...]

Mourning For America

August 10, 2009

America is the greatest country in the world. I grew up hearing that and I used to believe it. I still hear people saying it. Is it true? What did people mean when they made that claim? What does it mean now? Are people now just saying it out of habit? What criteria are they [...]

At The Head Of The Table

August 6, 2009

Who’s in charge? Here is an article from the New York Times illuminating the real role that al-PhARMA is playing and how the administration is prostituting itself, unnecessarily. Be prepared to be sickened. Understanding what they are doing and how they are doing it spotlights just who is in control and why the final result [...]

Luke 16:13

August 4, 2009

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. The Biblical citation is also found, excepting one word, in Matthew 6:24. Matthew substitutes man for servant. Since the subject is public servants, I lean toward [...]

Pay Attention

August 2, 2009

My first thought was to entitle this post, Ships Passing In The Night. That didn’t work out, for technical reasons. The appropriate picture to accompany the post would have appeared to be a black rectangle. It might have been mistaken for the picture of a black cat in an abandoned mine. Or, possibly, a picture [...]

It’s Time

July 30, 2009

It’s been more than two weeks. Both e-mail and telephone contacts have failed to elicit any response. So far, my offers to debate my congressman during the August recess have gone unanswered. It’s  possible you have heard the term Blue Dog Democrat. This is used to identify a group of congressmen who in the past [...]

Punishing Ourselves

July 28, 2009

Few aspects of our society need more correction than the corrections system. For anyone unfamiliar with how I spend some of my recreational time, I do volunteer work in prisons with those suffering from mental illness. After a decade of such involvement I flatter myself that I have a better understanding of what goes on [...]

Fraud

July 15, 2009

Guess what the most important issue in Washington is. Healthcare reform? Wrong. I just saw a news bulletin. The House Democrats have produced HR II, their 1,018 page version of healthcare reform. Well, now, not exactly. So, what, exactly? Bookmark It Hide Sites
