1. It's health INSURANCE reform, not health CARE reform. There will be no 6-month long waits for anything. The only thing that will change is who pays the doctor.

2. I don't see people against health INSURANCE reform complain about public schools, police, firemen, local libraries. I pay taxes to these organizations, but I don't use them. These are all just as socialist as federal health INSURANCE (NOT CARE!). Unfettered, unregulated CAPITALISM is what caused The Great Recession! (Thanks Bushie!)

3. When you repay your public education (k-12, and your collegiate federal student loans) then I will listen to your complaints against federal insurance and socialism.

With all due respect, be it noted, there is a difference between a regulated and a taxed system; regulations on systems can happen without there being taxed, regard. For instance, if a company is regulated because it is in violation of the antitrust rubric imposed by the government, then it incurrs a fine. I think it is necessary not to confuse this issue. To say that one has to pay back public eduation is to say that he should not have been taxed in the first place. The concern of student loans and that of public insurance, is that it diminishes the ability to compete amongst private lenders and insurers; thus, crowding out. The United States was originally built on freetrade and competition. Financial freedom is a corollary of the right to individual happiness -- not to be coerced by the right of the majority. A system that increasingly supports those who live on a welfare system is bound to fail to uphold the freedom of the individual pursuit of happiness.

Is it love? Is it obsession? Is it infatuation? Is it lust? Is it desire? Is it right, what I feel for you - because darling, you are in my mind - deeper than I thought was possible?

Is it asking too much of my favourite friends,
To take these songs for real?
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands,
To take these songs for real?

I have the emptiest email inbox of all inboxes! I actually have to clean it out because of all the dust and cob webs it collects - in the hopes of getting an email!

I shouldn't be on here, I have work to do. I'm procrastinating.

Crazy to quote oneself, I know - but then again I've been known to 'talk to myself' by certain persons ... so, I must be crazy!

Anyhoo, it's the imagination playing tricks again ... or .....

We enjoy warmth because we have been cold.
We appreciate light because we have been in darkness.
By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.

Somebody asked: ‘Why do you call death a god? Death is the enemy. If you call death the devil it is okay, but why do you call it a god?’ Because death is the door to God. Your death is deeper than your life. When you move through that death consciously, you will come to a life which doesn't belong to you or me or to anybody. It is the life of the whole. Death is God.

Along the path .... when did I become separated from myself .... ? What happened to the 'me' I once knew .... ?
