The health plan

If the single payer, government run health care gets enacted we will be on that system. The politicians in power now are saying that you will be fined for not buying the new government insurance. Lets say if the government health care passes; business will scratch its chin and say, we think we can save $$$ by having everyone switch to the new "free" plan. The Unions, who supports the politicians in power whole-heartedly, will go along with it. Contracts come and go. The Unions will ask for maybe some compensation but it will never equal, never compensate what we have now. It will in effect become the biggest take-away we've ever had, and the Unions will have endorsed it.

Musings

I missed Mute Math http://mutemath.com/ in Seattle on my birthday, October 5th. Oh, well. I need to work on the budget. They need to come back to Stocker's Farm in Snohomish where I saw them at Freedom Fest http://www.freedomfest.org/. I was right up against the stage. I didn't go Oct 5 in Seattle mostly because I couldn't get anyone to go with me, couldn't afford it, and, heck, I'm 54 now. It seems silly for a fat gnome like me to be bouncing up and down in a mosh pit.
Our fearless leader has received the Nobel Peace Prize for ?? What? I nominate George W. Bush for toppling Saddam Hussein, and Ronald Reagan for toppling the Soviet Union. The only other presidents to get it were Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. Hey, what about Harry Truman who ended World War II? Any of these "prizes" are useless pieces of brass. The prizes that are truly worthy are those earned on the battlefield by real hero's in uniform.
So what it really means is another institution falls to the left which now uses the prize as a weapon of demagogery. You get to where you throw your hand up and say "Who cares?" It's just the left congradulating the left for being leftists. I bet Jenniene Garofelo gets an award for calling anybody who critesizes the knuckleheads, that's right I said knuckleheads, in Oslo racist. Hey, Jenny, guess what? You're a racist!
I don't believe in race. It is a red herring. It is just an excuse to hate people who don't look like you. But, nobody looks alike. God created one race, the human race. Mankind created black, white, yellow, red. I am my brothers keeper no matter what he looks like.
If you think about it those that believe in the ideas of race are racist by definition.
In any case those folks in Oslo have cheapened a once wonderful thing. They should have waited 4 years. They might even change their minds. Let's see how Afganistan goes.
