The Pope, The Arts, A Nation in Crisis
Commented Nov 23, 2009 at 13:17:50 in Business
“Something that happens to artists all the time is they create something new and try to get it out there and some huge company with world wide ability steals it, tweaks it, and mass produces it. Then the artist is sitting there with years invested in an artistic style that looks like something you can buy in every store for $10.99. Our legal system only protects people with big money and that's a huge problem for artists.”

“Should Insurance Companies control our ability to keep ourselves well?
Should Insurance Companies be in control of medical research when they have an interest in making medical services as profitable as possible?
Should Insurance Companies be in a position to deny exploratory testing that might be used to file suit against polluting industries that they have ties to... Explaining why companies like EXxon fund movements to protect the private health care industry?”

“These Bankers and their policies are criminal. These are classic flim flam tactics. You know there were plenty of kings and other potentates the enjoyed pedophilia because they were kings and no one was allowed to find fault with their behavior or discuss the suffering they caused. We have the same kind of toddler-ish Elite breaking and smashing without penalty.
The Catholic Church tortured and executed more than 50,000,000, men and women . These people were slaughtered for the crime of heresy charged against them by Papal Rome during the 605 years of the Inquisition. The gene for independence and ability to stand up to authority has been "cleansed" right out of the population by sociopaths such as these since the dawn of history. These bankers are exercising an age old tradition, total domination and obliteration by a weakened and threatened people.
Can we stop it or just be forced to listen to oppressive contempt from those that have no trouble destroying anyone and anything for what they want in this world??”

No, Rachel, No! This "Health Reform" Could Lose the Middle Class for Dems

“For some reason the whole AirAmerica Bunch jumped right out and thought the bill was great initially. I was really surprised at their lack of insight and promptly realized these people are really not affected and quite financially insulated. It has caused me to listen to AirAmerica with much more skepticism . It is obvious that many AirAmerica hosts are a little bit too removed to report with insight on the pitfalls of real world wages and health care at the pleasure of small tyrants called supervisors. Because of their reaction to this abusive poverty-upon-entry health care bill, I have stopped listening to Stephani Miller, Rachael Maddow, and Richard Green. I have always liked them, but listening to them defend this health care bill that does nothing to stop the shift of wealth out of the hands of average Americans makes me feel, they too, are somewhat Elitist if they can go with this hand out to the Health Care Industry that has been callously choosing between lives and their bottom line for decades. This debate is no longer just about health care, it is about who is running this country and who should live like kings while others die so they can do it.”

“The Medical Insurance Industry is still in complete control of the American people. They are in a position to extort every single dime from everyone as they age or become seriously ill. Wow what a position and they've retained it as the people have screamed....Our government, Nancy Pelosi, actually "thanking" the Medical Insurance Industry for allowing them to propose a bill with some small and marginal regulations about killing people for profit.. Nope, the Medical Insurance Industry and the banking industry have been little more than inconvenienced by the demands of the citizens of this nation while the government simultaneously gives both Elite controlled industries BILLIONS.
This while the economy is tanking and people are homeless without access to health care. The Elite control this nation and WE WILL SERVE them or DIE. Wake up people and see what you are expected to endure for the lavish and ruthless lifestyles of the rich controllers. Both industries are collecting the wealth of this country like kids collecting Easter eggs. And we've provided them the money to do it while they charged us everything we earn and everything we'll ever earn while they do it. These people are the enemy. If they can't take everything by charging us they will just make our government hand it over with money collected under threat of imprisonment AKA taxes. I don't mind paying taxes but not to keep the stupid useless Elite in power who can't even play by their own rules.”

Commented Nov 07, 2009 at 16:48:29 in Politics
“We want single payer and none of this voodoo health care tied to an employer that we can't count on. We don't want our finances subject to oversight for health care and we don't want to have to "spin down" or lose everything we have in the event we get too sick to work for a period of time. We reserve the right to get well after injury and not drag ourselves to work, to have an employer, to get health care or lose everything. The Elite are controlling our ability to be anything but subservient property-ess peasants for health care.”

“Ive seen them too. i saw two egg shaped crafts scream in from above and swoop in over the tree tops and stop and just hover there motionless. Then one did a loop around the other and flew straight up and disappeared. The second followed the first and disappeared. This was in broad daylight. I saw them against land, not in the sky. This was not lights, but crafts. I have no doubts after that. none.”

No Difference Between President Obama and Candidate Obama
Commented Nov 04, 2009 at 22:27:04 in Politics
“Candidate Obama promised REAL health care reform. We , most all, believed he stood for Single Payer or something real close. We all busted our butts getting him elected because we HAD to HAVE health care reform. People are dying and suffering out here like these Dems&Repubs cannot even imagine. If they can imagine it, then they are sociopaths for not demanding health care for all with an unstoppable force. Health Care will cost big bucks. We get that!!! But it couldn't cost more than it already is costing. Impossible!!! Especially if you believe human life has any value.
BUT, WE AS TAXPAYERS, WANT TO SPEND OUR TAX DOLLARS ON HEALTH CARE AND NOT ON WAR AND SUBSIDIZING MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS. Careers were made and destroyed electing President Obama. Only God knows how much sacrifice, in a strangled economy, Obama's base chocked up. People literally cut a vain, financially, to contribute to his campaign because we thought we were getting real heal care like people in other civilized societies if Obama got elected. He talked about the experience that his mother had with cancer and how he was determined to "CHANGE" things. Well, what they have proposed would not have saved Obama's mother unless she lived in poverty and was without property.
The Republicans managed to get that government worker between the patient and the doctor. That government worker is called a "case worker." All Welfare rules will apply along with the appropriate onus.”

It's going to take years, and future presidents, before

“Obama and every Congressman/woman has to ask themselves - what price do we as members of the human race place on just one human being dying b/c of the lack of proper and adequate health care. Then proceed to pass health care reform that really is reform and not smoke and mirrors. What we have here is a failure to communicate. We, the people, are DYING or going BANKRUPT b/c of the lack of affordable and universal health care in this country. It's that simple. We don't want phony health reform just so you (the Obama admin) can say you passed something that looks like a Honda but is in reality an Edsel.”

I have never seen leaders fork over money so fast to the Elite and refuse to give up a cent to the people that are actually paying the taxes they are all enjoying. Its really sick and people accepting this is proof the whole country is soft in the head and does whatever they are told like a 5 year old child abuse victim.

NoW that we've done our part, we are getting an expanded Welfare bill that will only serve 2% of Americans and require poverty upon entry. This is CR**.

The Elite, soon to be the only Employers, want complete control of all people. With our employer controlling our access to health care we are complete slaves to them and any injustices they choose to levy on us,including low pay will be thrust on us.. Most of us have been working to live in poverty and have health care. Take the health care dollar out of a house hold's earnings and see the true poverty rate.”

“Everything is connected. That is why it is so important for us to have Universal Health CARE. The medical problems of every single person in every single town should be tabulated and mapped. Health care companies are private for-profit entities that concern themselves with business over the patients' health. This industry will not jeopardize its relationship with polluting industries by helping victims of toxic exposure document and bring suit against these polluting industries. These polluting industries are also huge customers of the Medical health care insurance monopoly. Because our environments and foods are constantly being contaminated by giant polluting corporations these corporations are opposed to health care reform.
Currently, everybody's health care is covered in a "willy nilly" way and it only covers people that are well enough to work who are employed. This gives us a veiled view of the reality of toxins in our foods and environments. Polluting industries know this and this is why they are demanding to keep the cruel and inhuman current system that disenfranchises the sick leaving them no medical documentation to establish damages and no resource to survive the exposure. Look it up and see where the big money outside of the medical health insurance industry to fight health care reform is coming from. BIG POLLUTERS, THAT'S WHO.”
