Reform the Government.,

How about we reform the Government and not the Greatest Health Care system in the world. We do not need to take control of one of the most personal aspects of our lives.

There are so many things that can improve our health care system that would not make us give up or freedoms and liberties.

1. No more primary care visits to the emergency room. How many times have people had to wait in the emergency room because someone with the sniffles was ahead of them. Why not put some triage nurses in the waiting room, and anyone with a non emergency visit can be sent away. No one will be turned away with a legitimate emergency.

2. Everybody pays a co-pay of $20.00. If you do not have the cash then it will be deducted from any public assistance you receive.

3. Absolutely NO non emergency health care for illegal aliens.

4. Anybody found coming to America for Free Health care should either be sent back to their country, or their home country should be billed.

This is just a few ideas and more to come.

No Public Option

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, said that the President will accept a Health care reform bill without the public option for insurance.

The problem with that statement is the fact that the entire bill requires the public option. This means the bill would have to be re-written. Perhaps this is just to shut the American people up.

If the bill takes the public option for insurance out, will the government still take control of what care we get?

Let us see.

Is Carbon Dioxide the Result?

Here is a Question I asked on Yahoo Answers

I am not a scientist, I am just thinking out loud.

Fact: Water Vapor is the largest greenhouse gas.

Fact: Until this past year there has been alot of Solar activity "sun spots"

Fact: These sunspots increase the temp of the earth.

Fact: It is hotter on hazy Days than when the sun is out with blue skys. The reason for this, I am told, is that haze is water droplets. These droplets has a magnifying glass affect and makes things hotter.

If this is the case, then, the sun is causing water to evaporate at a greater rate hence more water vapror (haze) in the air magnifying the heat (global temperature). This means that plant life, like animal life, will slow down in the heat. So, they will not take in as much carbon.

Therefore, the increase in carbon is a result of global warming, not the cause.

Fact: The sunspots are gone now and the earth is cooling

Does this make any sense?

Here is one of the answers:

You have most of the answer down pat and accurate, the only point missing is noting that the ability of the oceans to sequester co2 is dependent on the water temperature. Cold water stores more co2 than warm water does so 150 years of high solar output has warmed the oceans way above what they were in 1850 at the end of the little ice age. So 99% of the increase in co2 between 1850 and 2005 has come from warming oceans releasing it into the atmosphere because they have warmed enough where they are unable to retain it in solution. Remember the pH of the oceans has dropped from 8.5 in 1850 to about 8.2 today. This loss in alkalinity is 100% due to loss of co2 to the atmosphere from the suns warming of the oceans,

Cash for Clunkers

Some clunker - a beautiful newer Volvo, it runs with the liquid glass in the crankcase for over 4 minutes. Then the dumb@$$e$ laugh when it finally seizes up. +1 for Volvo engineering, -1 for idiot Government.

How about the dumbass owner of this Volvo. They probably did not get the full $4500.00 due to the formula that is used, could have probably sold the car for 10k. Do you think 20/20 or 60 minutes will do a report on all the pollution and hardous waste caused by this program?Just a thought.

Ed Freeman

You're a 19 year old kid.

You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley ,

11-14-1965, LZ X-ray , Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.

Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away and you'll never see them again.

As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter..!!

You look up to see an un-armed Huey!! But.... it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you..!!

He's not Medi-Vac so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.

He's coming anyway.

And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the Doctors and Nurses.

And, he kept coming back..!! 13 more times..!!

He took about 30 of you and your buddies out who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , ID

May God Rest His Soul.

I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch
about some freakish white-gloved sexual pervert's passing..!!

The Era of McCain is Over

Yes, it has finally happened. The era of McCain is over.

Maybe now we can get on with it and rebuild the Republican Party. McCain is not the only Republican to spit in the faces of "we the People", but he sure led the way. How many times did we yell "Stand up and fight!!" only for our call to fall on deaf ears.

Lets just hope he takes a position in the "O" administration. He will make a good little Democrat.

The Era of Reagan is Reborn.

Lets see what happens in 2010

Beer and Taxes

To people who don't really know how to think about it...
--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18..
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59..

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

'Since you are all such good customers, he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.' Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes SO the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.

But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $50 instead of $59 (15% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before.

And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. 'I only got a dollar out of the $20,' declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, 'but he got $9!'

'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got nine times more than I!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $9 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!' 'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor.'

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction.

Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
