Who will read this?

I have things to say even if no one reads it.

The Health Care debate

The real issue on Health Care is not whether we need health care reform it is how.

It use to be that we would recognize a problem and we would discuss it. We may disagree
on how to resolve it but at least we agreed that there was a problem.

Now when people disagree on how to resolve an issue they call each other names rather then debate the actual issue. The American people seem to believe the set of facts that their ideology leans them towards. What the real facts are is very hard to determine. It is all smoke and mirrors on both sides of this argument and for the most part the media just reports what it hears.

Implementation of any proposal and the unintended consequences of health care reform are what I am worried about the most.

I am against any proposal that would create another bureaucracy like the IRS that will have commissioners deciding our fate and promulgating rules w/o congressional over site. I have heard the comment that we already have that and while that may be true it does not mean we need another layer of it.

Check out one flavor of the bill at: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3200/text

Do a find for "Commissioner", you will find 100.

Black Holes

Did you know that they will creating mini black holes at CERN? There hope is that through studying the creation and death of a black hole they will be able to ascertain how the big bang started. The operative word here is the death of the black hole because if the mini black hole grows we could get sucked into it. I will go with Stephen Hawking on this and agree that the black holes will go away as fast as they start. He is truly a great mind.

What can we do?

Did you ever have to reload your operating system of your computer? Once that was done it ran faster and more efficiently did it not.

Could this be done with our government? Probably not.

What can we do?

Step 1. "WE" all must stop calling people names. Once you call someone a racist, or a nazi, or anything derogatory, can there really be a frank discussion of issues?

Tell me what someone has said is wrong, why it is wrong and then back it up. Your opinion that this person is an idiot is not relevant.

Weight gain and loss

The world (Earth) always maintains the same weight except for the occasional meteor and when we we send junk into space. When we applaud someone's weight loss just remember, for the world to remain in balance someone else has gained it. The book of JoJo
