America - Newt Gingrich
7/11/2009

The former speaker of the US House of Representative, Newt Gingrich, is politically incorrect when he said that the US should "sabotage" Iran's oil and gas infrastructure. To use covert operations - to create a gasoline-led crisis is contrary to a vested interest for the US, the Middle East, and Russia. A diplomatic engagement to soften an icy relation is wise and prudent opposed to destabilization.

Gingrich believes that a Reagan strategy using economic, diplomatic, and psychological pressures can topple the Iranian regime. The late 1980's
strategy in Eastern Europe cannot be applied to the Iranian regime because of our current position in the world. It would be detrimental if the US would consider destabilizing the Iranian regime.

The Iranian population will challenge and change the players of their regime. The Iranians are more effective by facing the challenge free from US meddling. Meddling from the US would stagnate any change and worsen our position globally.

In meditation, I observe the US would reap benefits if the US Government uses economic, diplomatic, and psychological soundness opposed to pressures with Iran. The best course is diplomatic engagement and set an example of wisdom to the world.

Religious

Italy - Pope Benedict XVI
07/12/2009

Pope Benedict XVI toured Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. After praying in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on his last day, he told his followers not to lose hope that peace in the region is possible.

"The bitter fruits of recrimination and hostility can be overcome and ... a future of justice, peace, prosperity and co-operation can arise,” the Pope argued.

In meditation, authority takes the mind away from the central issue, which is man's conflict within. Authority engenders power, and power always becomes
centralized and therefore, utterly corrupting. It corrupts not only the person of power, but also those who follow it. The Pope's pilgimage is blinding, it breeds thoughtlessness, and being in authority it gives shape and pattern to the follower. The Pope beliefs that a future of justice, peace, prosperity, and co-operation can arise. Justice and peace are immediate when self-awareness negates any authority imposed, and understand that authority is a continuation, a certainty, a sense of being protected. The Pope offers a formula to achieve virtue, and by doing so, the Pope creates problems of immorality for himself and mankind.

Russia and America
July 13, 2009

Obama, called for Russia and America to unite in efforts to prevent North Korea and Iran from developing their nuclear ambitions. Obama said," neither Russia nor America would benefit from an arms' race in East Asia or the Middle East. That is why we should be united in opposing North Korea's efforts to become a nuclear power, and preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon."

To use North Korea and Iran as a political strategy of a possible arms' race is foolish. Russia has unfinished business with America and has no interest in Iran or North Korea. Russia knows that the real threat is not Iran or North Korea but China and the United States.

Israel

07/14/2009

In 1948 the state of Israel was proclaimed. Palestine was lost. Sixteen years later, the Palestine Liberation Organization or PLO was founded. Five years later, in 1969, Fatah leader Yasser Arafat was elected chairman of the PLO, marking a new era in which the guerrillas overthrew the traditional hold of more established Palestinian families.Thirty years later Arafat died and left a significant permanent seal in the mind of the Palestinian people. The death of Arafat marked the stage for liberation: Arab and world sympathy.

The world has changed and Israel's position waned due to political ignorance; that the destruction of Israel is a manifest destiny. An unavoidable destiny caused by Israel after sixty years of occupation denying the Palestinian a rightful place. Israel's tree trunk will be axed like the Babylonian King shorty after their seventy year of celebration. Unforeseen powerful political forces shall scatter the Jews to the four corners of the earth. History has a tendency to repeat for those States, who are arrogant and blind. It would be wise for the Israeli's state to offer an olive branch; however, the Jewish state is blind to transcendental insight and becomes a victim to a self-fulfilled prophecy of doom.

America - Sonia Sotomayor

July 15, 2009

The US president's nominee for the supreme court has told senators that she never intended to imply that a Hispanic woman would make a better legal judgment than a white man.

Sonia Sotomayor, who would become the first Latina to serve in the supreme court if confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, answered direct questions by the panel on Tuesday.

"I do not believe that any ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judgment," Sotomayor said.

Every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge "regardless of their background and life experience", she said.

The court has been closely divided with four liberal and five conservative members, and Sotomayor’s confirmation as the replacement to Justice David Souter would ensure that such a balance would remain.

Senator Jeff Sessions, the leading Republican on the committee, asked her if she believed that "impartiality is a mere aspiration which may not be possible in all or even most cases".

But Sotomayor said that her life experience was of no import in making judicial rulings, emphasising that the tenets of the law should be observed.

"I believe my record of 17 years demonstrates fully that I do believe that judges must apply the law and not make the law," Sotomayor said.

Sotomayor's life experience depends on her psychological conditioning and will reflect in making judicial rulings independently from the law. Sotomayor's mind is conditioned and like her white male counterpart is set in a pattern to deepened human conflict and disorder.

America - President Obama

President Barack Obama on Thursday traced his historic rise to power to the vigor and valor of black civil rights leaders, telling the NAACP that the sacrifice of others "began the journey that has led me here." The nation's first black president bluntly warned, though, that racial barriers persist.

"Make no mistake: The pain of discrimination is still felt in America," the president said in honoring the organization's 100th convention.

Observing the President's speech the roots of his black heritage determine
his overall policies in his administration. Obama has not mutated the basic pattern of his brain for transcendental insight to take place. A brain that has mutated and transcended speaks neutral and differently to a black audience. So, whatever decisions Obama makes, the result of his opinion swings from his black heritage.

Iran and US

The US government has sent a strong message to Iran, saying it is running out of time to engage in dialogue over its nuclear program to avoid further isolation or even military action.
Warning that Washington would only grant Iran a limited amount of time to respond to its offer to hold talks, Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, said: "The choice is clear: we remain ready to engage with Iran, but the time for action is now. The opportunity will not remain open indefinitely."

In an address to the Council of Foreign Relations in Washington on Wednesday, Clinton said "Iran does not have a right to nuclear military capacity, and we are determined to prevent that".

However, she added that Tehran "does have a right to civil nuclear power, if it re-establishes the confidence of the international community that it uses its program exclusively for peaceful purposes".

"Iran can become a constructive actor in the region if it stops threatening its neighbors and supporting terrorism. It can assume a responsible position in the international community if it fulfils its obligations on human rights," she said.

A foolish approach by Clinton since the council of foreign relations believes, to the contrary, relating to Iran. The council of foreign relations is not convinced by her speech because the US flexed her liberty muscles poorly with Iraq. The United States would do well to remain neutral with Iran and Israel in order for the region to remain somewhat stable. The region is like an atomic bomb ready to explode. If the US interferes, the interference is like igniting repressed passions throughout the Middle East. It would be wise globally for the US to remain neutral on conflict, which may be initiated by Israel..

Pakistan and India

Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime minister, told reporters after talks with his Pakistani counterpart in Egypt: "... dialogue cannot begin, unless and until terrorist heads, which shook Mumbai are properly accounted for [and] perpetrators of these heinous crimes are brought to book."

His comments came after, he met Yousuf Raza Gilani on Thursday on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement's (NAM) summit, currently taking place in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh.

The two nations have fought three wars, two of them over Kashmir, since they were separated in 1947 following the end of colonial British rule. Even though separated in 1947, Pakistan is considered "Greater India,"or "Ghandi's India." Ghandi is the thread that ties the two and Kashmir is the symbol ending the colonial British rule that Kashmir cannot be possessed by India or Pakistan.

The Indian prime minister, Singh, has no further alternative but to dialogue independently from the Mumbai's attack. It is wise to India to uphold Ghandi's principles of non-violence since those principles mirror the consciousness of the Pakistani population. The two countries separated physically (superficial consciousness) but not at a deep level. (deep consciousness or Ghandi's consciousness)

The Afghan war

When Barack Obama, the US president, hosted Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, and his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari at the White House back in May, a sense of urgency hung over the meeting that may not have been appreciated until now.

"US troops are serving courageously and capably in a vital mission in Afghanistan," assured President Obama, "alongside our Afghan and international partners."

The US is fighting a bitter war with no end in sight for victory; it is a foolish endeavor. Obama and the international partners must multiply troops significantly to defeat the Taliban to win this "vital mission." How vital is this mission if the US is trapped in this bitter war? Is this a win battle? Since this is not the case transcendental insight calls for America to pack up and go. What is the point to fight a bitter war with a handful of troops? Packing and leaving does not show weakness but strength teaching States to fight their own battles and respect US policies of neutrality. (re-written policies)

July 20, 2009

The US army is to recruit 22,000 new soldiers to help it fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Robert Gates said.

The increased troop strength would only be for three years, will raise the total number of soldiers to 569,000.

"The army faces a period where its ability to deploy combat units at acceptable fill rates is at risk," Gates told reporters on Monday.

"This is a temporary challenge which will peak in the coming year and abate over the course of the next three years."

The move comes as the US shifts its military focus from Iraq to Afghanistan, where the number of US troops is expected to reach 68,000 this year from about 32,000 two years ago.

Gates said the expansion was recommended by the army's leadership and strongly backed by Barack Obama, the US president.

Robert Gates's estimation to send 22,000 extra troops to focus on Afghanistan is miscalculated because the war in Afghanistan is a fruitless war. Have you ever observed a locust attack? The locust swarm in great numbers in order to succeed. US would do well to pack up and go and consider their losses as a win. The taliban cannot be fought with a handful of soldiers, and fighting ideologies and ideas of the Shariah Law is like fencing a ghost with an invisible sword.

July 22, 2009

"Women and girls have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God," wrote Jimmy Carter.

It was, however, an unavoidable decision for Carter when the Southern Baptist convention's leaders, quoted a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service.

Jimmy Carter's keen observation about women, sex, and religion is the action of the insight independent from time, culture, and conditioning. It took Carter sixty years for the action of the insight to bear fruit. Most people fail to awaken their intelligence because of power and prestige. The awakening of intelligence is an arduous task and only a fit mind can observe the mundane.

July 23, 2009 Transcendental Insight.

Hillary Clinton and Pakistan

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says U.S. officials "firmly believe" the al-Qaida members behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks are hiding in Pakistan. Clinton says the U.S. government is "actively" seeking information on their whereabouts.

In meditation, the al-Qaida members behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attack are not hiding in Pakistan. Since most members were Saudi nationals, I would check Saudi Arabia and wealthy Arab nations. Pakistan is for the pretender who thinks he or she is an al-Qaida member and the Taliban pushing the Sariah Law.

July 24, 2009

Hillary Clinton has said the US will arm Washington's allies in the Gulf region if Iran builds a nuclear weapon.

"We will still hold the door open, but we also have made it clear that we'll take actions ... working to upgrade the defence of our partners in the region," she said.

The US military has bases in Gulf nations including Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as well as in Iran's neighbour, Iraq. There is no need to arm the Gulf states; a spirit of neutrality equals the upgrade of defense in the region.

However, the idea of handing weapons to Arab nations in the region was met with criticism from Israel, Washington's foremost ally in the Middle East.

"I was not thrilled to hear the American statement from yesterday that they will protect their allies with a nuclear umbrella, as if they have already come to terms with a nuclear Iran ... I think that's a mistake" Dan Meridor, Israel's minister of intelligence and atomic energy, told Israel's Army Radio.

In meditation, Dan Meridor, Israel's minister of intelligence and atomic energy is correct; however, not because the allies have already come to terms with a nuclear Iran. To the contrary; the irony of these arab allies is that they will likely use their nuclear umbrella to protect Iran opposed to attack Iran. It is prudent for the US to refrain from supplying a nuclear umbrella to any nation and remain neutral.

09/01/2009

"US troops are serving courageously and capably in a vital mission in Afghanistan," assured President Obama, "alongside our Afghan and international partners."

America is trapped in an illusion to win this war of democracy. Afghanistan and Iraqi has human rights issues, but Saudi Arabia is the fore-runner of crimes against humanity. Saudi Arabia should be held accountable for abusing human rights, and wisdom for the Saudi's are to realize that subjects are slaves to worship and obey. Why is it that America cannot stand up against Saudi Arabia and confront oppression and absolute control by the Royal family? Dismantling a Kingdom is far more worthy than tackling the Taliban.

09/02/2009

Colonel Gaddafi became Libya's leader on September 01, 1969 and for four decades Colonel Gaddafi embodies the living force of Libya. He is Libya.

Gaddafi rules with the help of an insidious and pervasive mukhabarat, or secret police, apparatus.

Far from beginning to transition his country toward democratic institutions, the flamboyant Colonel has apparently taken his cue from Syria and North Korea in preparing for a dynastic succession that would put his son Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi in command.

Transcendental insight sees his son Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi ruling Libya with an iron fist like Stalin. It is true that Omar Gaddafi rules with the help of an insidious and pervasive secret police, but throughout his dynasty the people loved him for liberating the country and being authentic to the tradition and custom of Libya. He will be remembered as a " a freedom fighter." His son sees political life differently that upon his short rule opposition will lead another revolution which sadly ends the Gaddafi's dynasty. Having lots of libyan oil on the market is nice, and Western oil companies love having another country to exploit. However, Gaddafi dynastic succession is greedy and when exploitation hits from two directions (Gaddafi dynastic succession and western oil companies) the people have no alternative but to revolt and end the Gaddafi's dynasty.

09/03/2009

A professor inquired China's quest for natural resources and investing its wealth around 120 counties. Along with this economic push, Beijing is keen on spreading its political and cultural influence. He asked what do I think about China's global outreach? Is it good for global polity? Should the world be wary of this Asian giant?

America's foreign policy is unilateral and controlled by special interest. America could have had a close and peaceful association with Muslim countries, but its Israeli fixation regardless of Zionist crimes against humanity have tragically empowered extreme elements within some Muslim states. The lobbies and oil monopolies induced the US fiasco in Iraq and the quagmire has extended to Afghanistan and Pakistan. In South and Central America, the US has taken on much smaller countries and their leaders thereby significantly enhancing the stature and prestige of the South American leaders – Castro, Ortega, Chavez, Morales etc. China is pursuing relations with all countries and its leaders have expressed the Confucius vision of balance and harmony as guiding principles. Definitely sounds better than a guiding principle based on money, monopoly, power, privilege and double standards; however, balance and power are well intended qualities, but once the Asian giant gains position transcendental insight sees a "checkmate" to establish preeminence in the world.

09/08/09 American Health Care

Aging populations, smoking, obestity, and sky-high costs are problems faced by nations the world over.

The point of the matter is about 500,000 Americans each year are leaving the U.S. for health care reasons and this is going to grow. U.S. hospitals and doctors complain, but the reality is, hospitals and doctors have had plenty of time to straighten out their acts. They've had plenty of opportunities to create better, more economical health care services. They failed do so.

I personally see a healthy competition from abroad which could have a potentially positive structural impact on how the U.S. delivers health services. I believe the emergence of world class health care across the Pacific will likely give U.S. hospitals and clinics a much needed kick in the bedpan.

For example, before 1997, the U.S. and Europe were the major recipients of international medical travelers, while Singapore was the major hub for Asia. After the attacks of Sept.11, 2001 an increasing number of patients from the Middle East began traveling to Asia for care. They used to go to America or Europe, but visas became problematic, so they started going to Thailand, Singapore, and India. According to the World Health Care Congress 92,000 people from Middle Eastern countries in the last year was served in Bumrungrad. This represents about 20% of total international business for the hospital.

Because U.S. hospitals and doctors fail to straigten out their acts, the emergence of Asian, Latin Americans, and Eastern European medical centers that provide state of the art procedures with the gentle price tag has many U.S. citizens flying abroad to seek care they might have gotten at their local hospitals.

Brazil, Costa Rica, and South Africa currently are hot destinations for cosmetic procedures. Costa Rica, Mexico, and Hungary are magnets for good affordable denstistry. India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore are the best choices for major surgeries including heart surgeries, organ transplants, and orthopedics.

Medical outsourcing is the outcome of our medical crises. The single payer national health systems of the sort found in the U.K, Canada, and all over Europe make the dynamics a bit different, but they certainly do no avert the crises of aging popluations, smoking, and obesity.

So, unless we change to a nation of hospitality found overseas and slow down the frazzling pace and impersonal nature of our health care people would not hesitate to go to any of the hospitals which offer U.S. standards or better. The medical outsourcing is the future of the U.S. unless we take responsibility in creating better and more economical health services. The crises is deep and the medical establishment have had plenty of time to straighten out their acts. They've had plenty of opportunities to create better more economical health care serivices.

Because of our greed medical outsourcing is the future for the U.S.
Because of our greed and impersonal nature we seek instant gratification opposed to a long term plan of affordable health care.
To lessen the outsourcing and reverse consequences the solution is affordable health care. Hospitals and doctors fail to see the simplicity. The voters must set the record straight for the medical establishment.

09/10/2009 Corporate Welfare.

President Obama's health care reform speech.

Nobility cannot be stopped --- not if it really is noble. Unmasked the president’s plan to show it is the very opposite of nobility. True nobility cannot be unmasked.

President Obama's message was cleverly scripted and delivered to the population employing references from political parties whose views are contrary to the President's plan. For thirty years corporate medicine managed by government has proven unfit. Corporate medicine failed to mitigate rising cost, salvage inflation, and negate corruption.

Socialized medicine is a life line to bail out corporate medicine, and like any life line people think the act is noble. So long as people believe that socialized medicine is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. You cannot stop a noble plan -- not if it really is noble. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it -- to show that it is the very opposite of noble. Then at least you have a fighting chance.

The character of America is in the concept of rights. The original American idea has been virtually wiped out, ignored as if it had never existed. Today, however, we are seeing the rise of principled immorality in this country. We are seeing a total abandonment by the intellectuals and the politicians of the moral principles on which the U.S. was founded.

The rule now is for politicians to ignore and violate men's actual rights, while arguing about a whole list of rights never dreamed of in this country's founding documents -- rights which require no earning, no effort, no action at all on the part of the recipient. You are entitled to something, the politicians say, simply because it exists and you want or need it -- period. You are entitled to be given it by the government. Where does the government get it from? What does the government have to do to private citizens -- to their individual rights -- to their real rights -- in order to carry out the promise of showering free services on the people?

09/11/2009 Inspirational transcendental insight.

America:

The birth of big government commenced on September 11, 2001 and flowered into socialism chipping at the balance of power: Wall Street, the insurance companies and the right-wing. Currently it is a power imbalance that is bigger than socialism, but consequently socialism will defeat the root problem that stands in Obama's way.

Russia:

Transcendental insight sees Putnam enjoying a six year term as President in 2012. Putnam's motive is like a Stalin, and he will succeed because of
his totalitarian will in ruling the country and expanding his territory. His totalitarian regime crushes all autonomous institutions in its drive to seize the human soul. He is focused and ruthless -- no match for Russia's current President, Dimtry Medvedev.

09/12/2009

Israel

Nonviolent struggle is a pipe dream.

The 39th US president had been travelling in the region as a member of the Elder's Panel, a group of noted international diplomats working to address humanitarian issues.

By renouncing the dream of an independent Palestine, the people would become fellow citizens with their Jewish neighbours and then demand equal rights within a democracy.

Non-Jews are already a slight majority of total citizens in this area, and within a few years Arabs will constitute a clear majority," he said.

Transcendental insight sees this as a pipe dream. Israel is astute and does not permit democracy to Arabs because they willl constitute a clear majority in a few years. The Jewish state is to shrewd to go along with a one state solution that could lead only to their overthrow. The struggle will continue in favor of the Arabs because they will constitute a majority supported by Arab countries surrounding Israel and Israel's arrogance to isolate the Arabs.

Kowledge manages disaster but the illusion of knowledge kills it.

You have a right to work, not to rob others of the fruits of their work, not to turn others into sacrificial, right less animals laboring to fulfill your needs.

Socialized medicine enslaves doctors.

Doctors are not servants destined to serve other at the behest of the state. Doctors are "traders" like anyone else in a free society. Doctors are individuals who have the right to assert moral principles: their own individual rights, their rights in this issue, their right to their lives, their liberty, their property, their pursuit of happiness. Socialized medicine delivers doctors hand and foot to the mercies of the bureaucracy.

Who is really paying the costs of medical care now -- the rich, not the broad bulk of the people? As it has been proven time and again, there are not enough rich anywhere to make a dent in the government's costs; it is the vast middle class in the U.S. that is the only source of the kind of money that national programs like government health care require.

A simple example of this is the fact that the Obama program rests squarely on the backs not of Big Business, but of small businessmen who are struggling in today's economy merely to stay alive and in existence. Under any socialized program, it is the "little people" who do most of the paying for it -- under the senseless pretext that "the people" can't afford such and such, so the government must take over.

Some people can't afford medical care in the U.S., But they are necessarily a small minority in a free or even semi-free country. If they were the majority, the country would be an utter bankrupt and could not even think of a national medical program.

As to this small minority, in a free country they have to rely solely on private, voluntary charity. Yes, charity, the kindness of the doctors or of the better off -- charity, not right, i.e. not their right to the lives or work of others.

As with any good or service that is provided by some specific group of men and women, if you try to make its possession by all a right, you thereby enslave the providers of the service, wreck the service, and end up depriving the very consumers you are supposed to be helping. .

Rebuttal to the editorial.

Dependency on government is humanitarian efforts in vain pursuit.

The Dark Side Of Acorn

Prostitution ranks at the bottom of Acorn's dark side. The editorial fails to point out Acorn's efforts to secure low-rate mortgages for unqualified borrowers; and combined with the assistance of Democratic members of Congress Acorn led to the biggest banking and financial crisis since the Great Depression. Acorn closely allied with the Democratic Party, and despite its nominal non-partisanship, ACORN successfully implicated the 2008 banking crisis.

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN):

ACORN was founded in 1970 when Wade Rathke and other community organizers from the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) were sent to Little Rock, Arkansas. In the 1960s, the NWRO spearheaded a campaign of disruptions and sit-ins at welfare offices across the country. Their goal was to eliminate the eligibility requirements for welfare and to so flood the system with clients that the system would collapse. It was a form of left-wing anarchism designed to bring down the existing democratic capitalist system.

We all know what ensued: A cycle of welfare dependency which destroyed individuals, families and communities across the country, many of them minorities who have never recovered.

Since then, ACORN has mushroomed into a nationwide coalition of community organizations lobbying for low-cost housing, health care, welfare rights, the living wage, and other far-left goals. ACORN has over 350,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States, as well as in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.

ACORN's goals and methods are closely patterned after the ideology and tactics of socialist revolutionary Saul Alinsky, as outlined in his book Rules for Radicals (1971

Knowledge manages disaster but the illusion of knowledge kills it.

It appears that the US economy recovered from last years financial crisis; however, the policies of the Federal Reserve, the US s central bank, are ensuring that the suffering will continue much longer than necessary.

They claim there is a recovery but the recovery ought to be measured by the people working. True unemployment is now 16 percent, and the people who lost money have not regained the money. The people who lost houses have not gotten their houses back.

The official unemployment rate in August was 9.7 percent, but the broader unemployment measure, known as U-6, measures not only the number of people looking for work but also those people who have given up looking for work. The official unemployment measure does not include people who have stopped looking for work.

In August, the broader U-6 unemployment rate were a stunning 16.8 percent, two-and-a-half percentage points higher than it was in the 1982 recession, which had been the worst recession since the Great Depression.

There is no recovery, all there is a lot of illusion based on fudged knowledge.

The federal government s bail out of Wall Street has been indebted it to the point that the government itself is now “one giant toxic asset.

It appears that the Fed has done a wonderful job for Wall Street, but the average guy lost a lot of money. The Fed comes in with more credit, and pumps it up and bails out all the big guys getting all these bonuses for all these individuals who should have failed and they claim there is a recovery?

A Fact about FactCheck.Org

Founding Father of Anneberg Foundation and daughter does not share the ideology of liberalism and conservatism.

FactCheck.org is run by the Annenberg Foundation, the same folks who brought the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that hired Barack Obama and William Ayers to disburse monies. They claim to be non-partisan. The Annenberg Foundation was established by Walter H. Annenberg, a longtime conservative. He passed in 2002.

It is now run by his daughter, Wallis Annenberg, a California liberal. She lists among her interests, politics. During the 2008 Campaigns, she doled out her contributions to the DNC. Unlike others who spread the wealth around, she did not. She donated solely to the DNC. Ms. Annenberg claims she is bipartisan when it comes to her philanthropic endeavors. Her son, also a trustee for the foundation, chose to leave California and resides in Paris, France.

The political arm of the Annenberg Foundation is the Annenberg Public Policy Center headed by its director Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Ph.D. co-authors of the book “Echo Chamber: Rush Limbaugh and the Conservative Media Establishment”. A treatise on the “evil’” right wing media, so you know how non-partisan she is. The Public Policy Center is the parent of … you guessed it … FactCheck.Org . They also produce the NPR program Justice Talking … Oh Yeah they are so “fair and balanced”. I don't think so!

Transcendental Insight:

Just photo shoots for Obama.

     President Obama's talks of the need for compromise; however, Obama asks to restrain settlements.   In June Obama's speech in Cairo was encouraging. President Obama said that the US does not accept the legitimacy of Israeli settlements; however, in his opening remarks the president called on Israel to restrain settlement activity.

So, by any measure there has been a great departure in what the US expects Israel to do. And that has been a great cause of concern for the Palestinians.
The American administration's failure to force the occupation to stop settlements and other violations of Palestinians' rights confirms its complete bias in favor of the occupation and the danger of the Arabs counting on the American position towards the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is this bias that shall cause the downfall of Israel regardless of their fifth position in nuclear power.

No bootlegging; please enter through the front door.

President Obama told the American people that illegal immigrants should not be covered by the health care reform bill. Listening to President Obama latest speech he's talking about letting the illegal enter through the back door. In other words, offer the illegal amnesty!

The highest honor America bestows is citizenship. It is an insult to the American people, and bootlegging citizenship are traits contrary to the American character.

Why would the American people give the highest honor to anyone walking through a back door in order for them to benefit health care reform?

No bootlegging please!

UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Israel has not earned the privilege to remain transparent free.

American discourse is to protect Israel from transparency and accountability
pertaining to nuclear weapons. Israel has the most advance nuclear capability in the region, not to mention Pakistan. Also, Obama's speech painted Iran as having the nuclear capability as in the case with North Korea.
I am sure that the Iranians are displeased with Obama's comparison suggesting that Iran possesses nuclear weapons like North Korea.

Muammar Gaddafi:

The long winded and flamboyant Muammar Gaddafi, said that the veto wielding nations of the Security Council, were ignoring the views of the full 192 members of the General Assembly and the principles of the UN charter.

In an one-and-a-half hour speech in New York on Wednesday, Muammar Gaddafi said the veto-wielding nations of the Security Council, we're ignoring the views of the full 192 members of the General Assembly.

"The preamble [of the charter] says all nations are equal whether they are small or big," Gaddafi said in his address.

Gaddafi accused the permanent members of the council of undermining other states.

"The veto [held by the five permanent UN members] is against the charter, we do not accept it, and we do not acknowledge it. Veto power should be annulled," Gaddafi said.

He said the council, comprising the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China, had failed to prevent or intervene in 65 wars that have taken place since the United Nations was established in 1948.

The argument was passionately, colorfully, and convincingly spoken that the lion of the desert reached a large audience of sympathizers. Everyone should have a voice and veto power.

A rebuttal.

Let each worker be a board of director sharing equally in the profit, have a voice, and a vote in policy making. That is a winning strategy.

It took thirty years for the working class to become exhausted and anxiety ridden. The gap between the working class paycheck and corporate profits are too wide, and this gap must close in order to avoid a disaster and a long term recession. Wages rose consistently until 1970 when the age of computer, outsourcing, women, and immigrants primarily from the Latin countries landscaped a different economy; a landscape of greedy large corporations and board of directors, a group of people who take the cream on top. Corporation paid their people tens, hundreds of millions of dollars, in annual salaries. Where did that money come from? The money came from the working class.

Thus, corporations did exceptionally well in profit making, while the wages of the working class remained the same. Also, the wage earner desires what the haves' have, reaching for a fantasy, "the American dream." and consume; but how can they consume earning so little? Each year the worker produces more, but what do you pay the worker each year? The same. That's what no more rising wages' means. Corporations offered a way out and created a system to borrow money and more money at a high interest rate. Propaganda of getting a taste of the dream and to keep up with inflation fueled the worker by using credit cards and borrowing equity money from their home.

The population is beaten, exhausted, and anxiety ridden. No stimulus is going to fix it and neither will regulation nor de-regulation fix it. Both have failed. The key is a radical way of thinking and alter our perception of doing business to decrease the gap between the profit making from production and wager earners who produce. Since this is not the case, prices will drop so low that it forces to narrow the gap between the two; this drop forces' businesses to think differently.

Now, the big picture. Borrowing money is no longer an option and seeking money from other countries is also out. It took finally thirty years of flat wages and rising productivity at the greatest profit boom to bring this downfall. There is no magic wand or a quick fix because the change comes from thinking differently, and we must seriously mitigate the exhaustion from an anxiety ridden working class and narrow the gap between the working class who produces and the profit making corporations. Perhaps it is time to do away with the board of directors and make the workers board of directors. The worker spends his or her energy, talent, and skill to produce; they should have a vote, voice, and an equal financial interest. I call that "entrepreneurial initiative," and our future.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan went on a shooting spree at the Fort Hood Army Base on Thursday, before being shot at by civilian police.

US officials have said that intelligence agencies first started investigating Hasan in December of last year, reviewing what they believe to be email communications between him and a Muslim cleric in Yemen who is known for his anti-American teachings. Personally, I do not believe he was anti-american but disillusioned about the middle east crisis and became disturbed juggling his duty and belief.

I do; however, find that Anwar al-Awlaki who served as an imam at a mosque outside of Washington DC where Hasan worshiped until 2002 spirited the action of Major Hasan. In a blog posting on Monday al-Awlaki wrote: "Nidal Hasan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people."

Regardless of war(s) there is absolutely no justification for killing and certainly Major Hasan is a disturbed killer. Killing is primitive and a step backwards to achieve unity with humanity. It appears regardless of Hasan's education his mind was veiled with religious illusion. Since this is the case, his mind regardless of his education is trapped, and my recommendation to the military is releasing those bound to unchangeable patterns. A mind glued in patterns becomes more violent if the pattern is challenged or threatened especially if the mind has to juggle duty and belief daily. In this case, Hasan could no longer cope and snapped!

My condolences to the family of the victims. I am deeply saddened that so many promising young people lost their lives. Truly, this is a sad day for humanity.

December 10, 2009

America's enemy, Al-Qaeda, are dispersed in pockets of Europe, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and America. Clean shaven and dressed smart these well mannered and ideal citizens mingle with the cream of the crop scoping and scheming unknowing to the population. Al-Qaeda possess skills far superior than the towel headed cave trodders of Afghanistan.

It is time to pack and go. Our presence has not benefit America's image of a peace maker or a world leader. Our priority is the economy and well being of the American citizen.

Wisdom is to learn from Russia that the war in Afghanistan is a war that can not be won. To send 30,000 troops will create a purpose and stimulate energy for the Taliban to recruit more candidates. A perfect recipe to die for a cause, and propagated as pleasing serving Allah. The soldier is guaranteed a place in paradise with seventy virgins. America, pack up and go!

President Obama is the commander in chief of our military and justified the two wars as essential and ordered 30,000 more troops to the war in Afghanistan.

President Obama pointed out that one of these wars is winding down and the other is a conflict that America did not seek referring to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In order to have an impact America has to deploy 300,000 troops opposed to 30,000. The war in Afghanistan is a war of ideas, ideology, and cannot be defeated. To send 30,000 troops and boldly point out that some will kill and some will be killed is irresponsible. Obama is politically incorrect in deploying thousands of young Americans. You cannot defeat ideas and Obama has not learned from mistakes made by Russia. But is Afghanistan the real reason?

It is inappropriate for Obama to receive the nobel prize for peace regardless of his efforts to stenghten international diplomacy. Obama is the war president of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. The Taliban is used as an scapegoat to further maximize dominance in the area. America is not interested in the Taliban! The Taliban is a necessary illusion to remain in the middle east. The real reason is Pakistan, a failed state with nuclear warheads! America would benefit to have Pakistan fail regardless of nuclear warheads.

To appease Israel Obama will flex his international diplomacy in an adverse manner against Iran. Iran's agenda is far more sophisticated than worrying about sanctions. President Obama is a classic example of a man whose humanitarian efforts are in vain pursuit, and as a war president tension will escalate between Iran and Israel. The irony of Obama's decision is while Americans seek the Taliban - the Taliban without effort recruits massive new faces to support their cause. America would benefit to withdraw sactions. This should mitigate their agenda significantly and lessen the tension of the population.

Dec 2009

The downfall of the Ayatollah and the rise of the Persians.

The rise of the persian empire will hasten if America remains neutral and refrain from sanctions of any sort. Sanctions will only stifle progress and weaken the opposition's position.

Regardless of teargas, batons, and executions the downfall of the Ayatollah is evitable. The opposition should focus in eliminating the supreme leader and squash the constitution opposed to make him a sort of figure head and re-write the constitution.

Removing sanctions should expedite the movement, and out of the movement leaders rise who will lead the people in a bloody revolution to eliminate the supreme leader and form a secular constitution.

The current regime is very clear about punishment under the Iran Islamic sharia law that those who are behind the opposition are mohareb or enemies of God and their fate is execution. It is out of this law leaders will rise and challenge the ultimate authority in Iran and destined to replace the sharia law with secular law.

This change will occur if America and Israel remain neutral and turn a deaf ear to the rhetoric of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president, said that opposition rallies in the country are "masquerades" backed by America and Israel. This rhetoric is an effective tool to encourage hostility in order to lead the masses astray from rallies, protest, and take over.

Russia's Stalin.

Prime Minister Putin's remarks bolster a view that he is stronger than Russia's president, Medvedev.

"Let the Americans hand over all their information on missile defence and we are ready to hand over all the information on offensive weapons systems," he said.

Putin was asserting its right to build new strategic missiles and seeking concessions on the issue from US negotiators as they continued talks on Start with Russian officials in Switzerland.

According to Putin the Start negotiations are developing positively; however, from meditating on this issue the fate of the negotiations will have a political and ideological breakdown. Putin has considerable sway in shaping foreign policy, a prerogative which under the constitution should be Medvedev's domain. It is Putin's sphere not Medvedev! Putin is Russia.

**************************

Venezuela Panzer Hugo Chavez has launched a new state-run bank, combining three banks that authorities recently put under state control citing irregularities in their operations.

Hugo Chavez, the country's president, inaugurated on Monday the public Bicentenario Bank that merges Confederado, Bolivar Bank, and Central Bank.

The three banks were among eight banks authorities took control of in November in a scandal that prompted the arrests of several prominent bankers with links to the government.

The state now controls about 25 per cent of the Venezuelan banking sector.

The expanding state role comes as Chavez continues to accuse his opponents of trying to provoke panicked withdrawals from banks to harm his government.

America would do well to help his opposition pluck Chavez from power because his humanitarian efforts are in vain and in dangerous pursuit.

COME, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER.

The editorial is naive about a belief that the Super-Committee had the intention to meet the dead-line. The Super-Committee never had the intention to commit. Our dollar was cooked right along with the Turkey and trimmings. The Super Committee was assigned to cut $1.2 trillion from the budget. Politicians are inherently self-interested in preserving their office and need votes to do so. Why would ...politicians cut programs that would jeopardize their re-election? Most likely, the Super Committee will retort to have the money be automatically cut from discretionary spending. Because, one of the agreements from the August meetings was that if they don't come up with a plan to cut $1.2 Trillion in spending by Thanksgiving, then the $1.2 Trillion is supposed to be cut from spending. In short, they never had the intention. The American people had to believe that true diligence of a Super-Committee was at hand. Well, the dollar was cooked, right along with the Turkey. Don't expect anything from federal-lawmakers.

TRUTH IS INDEPENDENT FROM ORGANIZED RELIGON AND THE SHARIAH LAW.

The letter is dealing with topics of the Christian religion as Truth and Shariah Law as the foundation to support Truth. Let us examine. What do we mean by religion? Surely, not organized religion, not Islam or Christianity, with beliefs, with propaganda, conversion, proselytism, compulsion, and so on. Is there any truth in organized religion? It may be engulfed, enmesh truth, but organized religi...on itself is not true. Therefore, religion organized is false. It separates man from man. We are so conditioned by organized religion to think there is truth in it that we have come to believe by calling one-self a Muslim or Christian, whom one will find God.
To find God, to find reality, there must be a virtue. Virtue is freedom, and only through freedom truth can be discovered- not when you are caught in the hands of organized religi...on and beliefs. And is there any truth in theories, in ideals, in beliefs? Why do we have beliefs? Obviously, because beliefs give security and a guide. Religious organizations become as fixed and as rigid as the thoughts of those who belong to them. Life is a constant change, a continual becoming, a ceaseless revolution, and because an organization can never be pliable, it stands in the way for change; it becomes reactionary to protect itself. As you yourself are aware, the greed for power is almost inexhaustible in a so-called spiritual organization; this greed is covered by all kinds of sweet and official-sounding words, but the canker of avariciousness, pride, and antagonism are nourished and shared. Because of this growing conflict, intolerance, sectarianism, and other ugly manifestations organized religion cannot be a bearer of Truth. Furthermore, since Islam is an organized religion the Shariah is in error to enforce it as a Truth. Even though, American law and Shariah law has contents of Truth it is independent of Truth. Truth like Morality stands alone free from organized religion and application of religious law like the Shariah Law. Mr. Moore is correct by writing his view that the Shariah Law has no business formulating but neither is Chrisitanity the true religion because it is organized. Also, because someone said so we belief.
Life is a constant change, a continual becoming, a ceaseless revolution, and because an organization can never be pliable organized religion and the Shariah law based on religion stands in its way and becomes reactionary to protect itself. It is for this reason that both are fruit of ugly manifestations and have no business in and outside the legal system.

NO ROAMING PUSSYCATS IN DOWNTOWN, PLEASE.
The proposal by Mr. Overturf for a downtown Pussycat Theater luring Purring Pussycats Peddling Fur doesn't offer entertainment for the family. We want family entertainment. San Bernardino is blessed to have Regal manage the theatre. The expansion of the freeway makes this endeavor successful. The proposal of restaurants is a win. Seniors who grace the downtown can walk to the venue. And people who...... work can enjoy a lunch. Moreover; Route 66 can benefit. Imagine, one-half million visitors having a meal or two. Citizens of San Bernardino are thankful to have a movie theatre and as a bonus, restaurants. On a warm note, if a people flock to the California Theatre and pay premium price for live entertainment, they'll catch a movie at an affordable price. Either way, both are walking distance from downtown famous historic Route 66.

BOOMERS ARE FIERCE SPIRITUAL REBELS
A warmth felt letter. However, the editor is a bit naive. The Baby Boomers are radicals who questioned authority and actively opposed the Vietnam war, promoted women's rights, and protested for civil rights. Furthermore, they questioned the relationship between the individual and society. Society is corrupt and change comes from the individual. The boomer is a mind-traveler and explores dimension...s of consciousness beyond boundaries imposed by religious, political, and social authorities. They explore the nature of reality and stretch their scope in consciousness. I don't think the agile-mind-boomer will depend nor trust politicians nor corporate leaders. To the contrary, these astute seniors have eyes like an Eagle and discern truth from falsehood.The politician and corporate leader should turn the clock to the sixties and check-out these fierce spiritual rebels.

WHOEVER OPERATES FROM THE EGO IS UNFIT TO RULE.
Listening carefully to the Republican debates Mr. Cain is least qualified. The presidential hopeful has little knowledge of foreign policy and global conflict management. He stumbled when he was asked about Libya and fumbled with the Iranian nuclear issue.
The Republican Party would benefit to endorse Mr. Huntsman or Mr. Paul. America needs a civilized person who has a good perception in economic...s, foreign policy, and social issues. Mr.Huntsman has international experience with China. And Mr. Paul is astute in the US Constitution and the Federal Reserve.
The Iranian issue was addressed well by Ron Paul. Smart politics is to work with Iran diplomatically not to sanction nor a threat to attack imagined sites. Furthermore, our relationship with Israel should ease and recognition of a Palestine state priority. Moreover; a dose of fairness for the twenty-first century having excellent skill in word opposed to drawing the sword. Sanctions, threats, and intimidation are outdated strategies that stagnate progress. And wars initiated by America after the second world wars were illegal and immoral. Ron Paul voiced courageously the illegality and our international military presence as interference.
Republican presidential candidates Huntsman and Paul are men who possess a good character. My view on water-boarding and torture are similar to the candidates. Water-boarding is a barbarous trait and demeaning for America. We should employ civilized tactics to extract information. Our torture policy has sabotaged the symbol of Lady Liberty in the world. Any candidate who endorses water-boarding is unfit to represent the American people and world.
Managing global conflict and diplomacy are crucial to the twenty-first century. Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman is least favorable because of their extreme religious views Mr. Cain, Mr. Perry, and Mrs. Bachman views are contrary to morality in a democratic society. Morality is independent of organized religion. The trio has little knowledge about managing global conflict, diplomacy, and possess tunnel like perception.
Newt Gingrich is the level headed. However, his association with Freddie Mac raises a red flag to look at him more closely. New York Times supports the proposal of Mr. Huntsman pertaining to job creation. For me, character is foremost and a candidate who has the guts to humanize foreign policy and reform the United Nations having nations voice in the decision-making process mitigating the power of the big five and abolishing their veto power. In the twenty-first century power-grabbing must be replaced with fairness and goodness. And at the end my candidate who profiles honesty and integrity is Ron Paul.

Roll back to 2004 and set a two-term limit.
The editorial spurred my attention to question why the Board of Supervisors are suggesting to break down the fat and thin out? Why is the board anxious whose paychecks have ballooned by eighty-four percent over the past decade? Traveling back in time to 2006, voters approved Measure P, an initiative promoted for limiting county supervisors to three ter...ms. Short-sighted and greed the passing added an impact of increasing their salaries by twenty-two percent the first year and by more than fifty-three percent by 2009. The chair receives seven and one –half percent more. The new political culture is to travel back in time to 2004 and work with a modest budget of $3.3 million and salary and benefits. Let’s take a look at their benefits. In 2007, County Supervisors contributed to their budget’s growth by quietly voting to pad their benefit's packages. Their board retirement benefits shot up from $7,514 to $16,640 annually. That’s on top of $13,000 to $28,210 per annum in health benefits, with no contribution necessary.
In May, supervisors rolled back those perks effective at the start of their next terms, reducing their retirement contributions back to $7,514 and trimming their health benefits to many exempt county employees at a maximum county contribution of $11,838 per annum. Supervisors still get an additional $2,400 cell phone allowance and $14,200 vehicle allowance, or a county vehicle.
As neighboring counties lowered supervisor salaries this past year, San Bernardino County’s supervisors salaries dropped nearly $2,000 to $150,183. I am convinced that the Board of Supervisors are over-weight and need to thin out and roll back to 2004 before asking others to take a drastic reduction.

AN EVENING WITH BEETHOVEN
Tomorrow, my spirit will exalt as Beethoven's music flows from the soloist fingers striking ivory rippling like murmuring rushing brooks. And a joy, a passion not found in a thousand books. Only a few can move my intellect into depth where beauty glimpses into perfection to greet my imagination into a sacred reflection.

DISENGAGE WITH THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM SETS YOU FREE.
The real solution is to disengage with the financial system. Firstly, cancel your credit card(s) and refrain from loans. Secondly, change the obvious trap of pensions and 401K into stock market-indexed retirement funds. Shift IRAs into gold and silver-backed retirement funds, disallowing the speculators and gamblers on Wall Street. Third, transfer funds from banks to credit-unions. Fourthly, re-think the principle of saving opposed to debt and consumption. Lastly, make your voice heard on November 2012. The concept of, "Occupied Wall Street," developed from a silvery-steam into a raging-waterfall, and awakened ninety-nine percent of the population.

CARVE OUT THE ENEMY THAT CAUSES THE EROSION IN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM

I disagree with the editor pertaining to the concept of trimming and leaving in place the enemy that causes the erosion in our education system.
The time is ripe for the faculty, those who know the intricate web, to rise and bear arms. Not by the sword but by word rising on behalf of the students to maintain position. Students are braved and expect same from intellectuals who are equal oppressed. ...Students and faculty should be one unmovable force and eliminate the hierarchy. Trimming the bureaucracy won't work because the very thing that triggered the protest was left in place, the bureaucrats. Organize a system that is led exclusively by faculty and rotate the task of administration. Unfair wages, school loans, and unreasonable tuition can only be eradicated by a new economic base where the faculty and students have a voice. To manage conflict scales must balance. And bureaucrats have tipped the scale and bend the curve of justice. To sum up, the bureaucrats are unfit to rule.

Gle,
All life communicates by instinct. The bees and whales communicate a language conditioned by instinct. However; humans have the ability to communicate in speaking, writing, and reasoning. In addition, we communicate instinctively and subjectively. As a human I share the gift of life not to dominate as proposed by mainstream religion. Do you know my nephew, Captain Stephen Glaser? I believ...e he works at Eguermin Mine Warfare School. Stephen followed his father's footsteps as a Royal Dutch Naval Officer. I like to hear from him. Now, that we have settled the issue of communication, hope fully. If you like, we can communicate in Dutch. And if I am not to forward, I like your picture on Facebook.

George--
Sophisticated societies treat punishment differently. The punishment does not fit the crime because they implement an holistic approach. Everyone is treated equally. At the end, the population enjoys a financial saving and a societal reward of good rehabilitation. The re-entrance of those inmates are mitigated substantially. Our prison system humiliates, de-humanize, and invites the int...imate to return. I suggest a controlled but supportive environment teaching life-skills plus emptying the mind of its violent content. Meditation, dialogue, counseling, exercise, and learning to know yourself are fruit-bearing life skills. Examine our attitude towards crime and punishment policies. A degree is not required but to observe and see things the way they are. You would have to agree that our society has failed those who are locked up behind bars. All they hear is clinging and clanging of iron bars' closing. I propose opening the doors and teach the art of mindfulness and to think correctly not based on conformity but clarity. To me, that is punishment in itself to look closely who and what you are and to go forward from that Reality.
We concentrate in building more prisons because it is a lucrative financial enterprise at the expense of the prisoner and tax dollar. Our crime and punishment policy is un-sophisticated and poor in spirit. To change the system, we have to alter the financial structure and look at things differently. Simply don't build more prisons but create environments that support a healthy outcome.

Meditation
Vladimir Putnam has a secret desire to carve his destiny in granite stone next to Stalin. The Russians are under his spell, because of his chameleon persona. His manner is like a gentle wind soothing the whimpers of whiney mummers. As a presidential hopeful armored in reptile skin he promises democracy and voice. And his promises are solid until the last vote. Then he twitches and emulates his dead hero and rule with hammering power nailing territories lost. And for twelve years silvery streams flow in raging waterfalls throughout the Red State stamping Putnam the Great Pretender.

Meditation
The character of President Obama is splintered radiating three. The first sketch is peace withdrawing the troops from Iraq. A sketch is fine lines that can be changed and manipulated. The second is a pretence for peace perfectly crayoned with markers. These markers are permanent outlining the voice of war. The third is red paint splashing freely on the canvas. This portrait portrays war-mongering against Iran to control the center of the Mid-East.

Meditation
The inner-circle of the man with the Meinkempf look soon meet its fate with a bend. After his thin tall body is wrapped in white the people shout the win on the road of Damascus. A harvest planted plenty with protest, and persistence will sprout new blades of dreams and inspirations.

My Sacred Dance is knowing that my heart and mind is birthed from the Universe.

We need to re-consider how we relate to the Universe on a deep level. If we really understand that the Universe birthed us and all life, then perhaps there is hope for a future for us to evolve differently. Why do we think we have a right to control nature and regard nature as inferior? Nature is not to be used as a r...esource or a commodity to exploit. Unless we alter our course of consciousness and observe nature as parts of the Universe our lives are brutal and short. Furthermore, animals should not be used as a commodity on a chopping block. Animals are warm blooded creatures like us with flesh and bones. They feel pain, express joy, and are fearful. Religion is the culprit that proposed the idea that humans have dominion. Humans think they can control nature, but in fact, we are nature. If we destroy nature than we destroy ourselves. Even so, how can nature be controlled since Earth is only a small part of the Universe? I would certainly agree that Earth would benefit if humans simply disappear like the dinosaurs. Earth would restore its splendor, and animals would flourish and roam freely rich in greenery and clean air. Oceans and rain-forest would be restored. Wisdom is to look deeply into the history of the Universe, the creation of Earth, the genesis of life, and evolution of life. Furthermore, consider the billions of inhabitants soon that will make an impact and imprint on our planet. How can we support all this abuse? I consider all life as a creation of the Universe, and this is truly Sacred and Divine.

Loud speaker is modern technology and not used by Prophet Mohammad.

The Muslim faith requires prayer five times per day facing Mecca. A prayer-call is sung as a reminder for the faithful and announced on loud speakers. Muslims have the right to exercise prayer but why use a public announcement system? The ordinance proposed by Jaffa ( Israel) is to cease the loud speaker because the loudness is noise pollution. I would be totally annoyed by a call blasting on loud-speakers five times per day, especially in the morning. The ordinance offers religious freedom and welcomes prayer-calls but without speakers. After-all speakers are a modern thing. And for those pious a reminder to drop and pray is not essential. Religious tolerance is respecting not annoying other religions, especially in a multi-faceted-religious country. Muslims feel discriminated. However; this it is a matter of noise, a prayer-call that has no meaning to the Christian and Jew. The prayer-call is appropriate but like in the days of Mohammad free from mico-phone vibrating loudly throughout air- space commonly shared. I am sure Prophet Mohammed (may he rest in peace) would approve a resolution of a natural prayer-call and pass the proposed ordinance,

THE CONSTITUTION IS VIRTUALLY WIPED OUT BY SCHIZOPHRENIC LAWS.
President Obama's approval of the National Defese Authorizaton Act virtually wiped out the Constitution. By the name of, "terrorism" the National Defense Authorization Act is justified to shred the Constitution and replaced it with an Iron Curtain philosophy. We are so fixated with, "terrorism" that imagined fear has been successfully ...passed by a lawless National Defense Authorization Act. This act is dangerous because anyone can be arrested for winking the wrong way. What I find disturbing is that initially Obama was to veto the bill, and like a schizophrenic along with Congress passed the act. Looking at this closely the people are also suffering from a mental illness to allow this insanity to transpire. No one should be detained because the person is considered a suspect without a charge or trial. I am sad that Old Glory deepened the insanity, and all by the name of, "terrorism." The approval of the act did more than humiliated the Constitution. It spat and stomp and erased who we are as people and what we stand for.

FIGHTING, INSTEAD OF BEGGING CAN WE ACHIEVE AN EQUITABLE SHARE.
Economic change can be carried out only through overwhelming pressure from the masses. It is suicidal to bang our begging bowls and hopes for change. It is even more so to hold on to an illusion that government can control or manage capitalism, "in the interest of all." How can government manage capitalism for all? I do agree; that c...apitalism is managed well for big business. Even so, how does that bring about an equitable share for the masses? Looking at reality, the masses of workers have depended on illusion long enough. So, put away your begging, a hope in other New Deal type reforms, or pleas for the implementation of other such as programs by government and big business. Only by mobilizing the masses of workers and other grassroots and fighting, instead of begging, for an equitable share of what is truly the product of their labor, the wealth of nations, the working majority achieves economic security and human dignity. And of course, this is democracy and freedom is all about.

AMERICA'S THREAT IS TO LOOK AND TREAT HER INNER COMPASS.
Americans are fearful that China desires a take-over. The Chinese being astute have no plan to play chess, at this time. The only interest China has is taking center stage economically and protect Chinese's territory. America is bullet proof from external forces but not from current passionate internal forces tucking and pulling the American... flag. The downfall of America is having disgruntled Americans change the landscape and consequently, having wiggled room for external forces to sabotage Lady Liberty from strength and power. I propose a face-lift where faces reflect a mirror of liberty and justice for all. Concentrate on America's inner compass to negate the possibility for the external to ooze in. We are concerned policing the world that our landscape is ridden with destructable weeds. The only thing that matter is having a healthy home individually and home-land collectively.

MEGA MALLS PEARL HARBOR our SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
Often, I wonder how corporate colonialism invades communities and extracts resources? What cause the dramatic change? Is it because of our obsession to consume? Are people happy with the big-box opposed to small stores? Are we aware that corporate power seizes the opportunity to supply a neurotic need?
Furthermore, don't you think st...anding looking up to a giant concrete structure dehumanize? And like colonialism disperse whole communities, mold an environment, profit, and take the spoils somewhere-else? What can we do to restore relationship and neighborhood stores? I propose to disengage and re-build social and physical infrastructure. These parasites with the cooperation of government stole our streets, acres of land, and take privately owned property (Eminent Domain) to make room. It is time to kick the master out and re-claim our community and land. Remember, Mega-Malls are scorpions and wolves in sheep clothing that sting, alienate, disperse, profit, and take the spoils.

REALITY SHOWS REFLECT WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE.
I recently noticed that television shows are on the rise depicting a strange relationship between law and order. It seems that society is fixated and fascinated with bend reality and cop shows. Furthermore, it justifies why prisons are packed and a need to build more. Looking at it closely, would you not agree that we are losing liberty and have become... a police state? The acceptance of violence mitigates freedom and justifies government control in any shape or form. Television need to modify and offer shows of high-income offenders opposed to high-lighting the poor. In addition, media should take a look at sophisticated societies and perhaps soften the impact of violence. The only solution is to inquire into the nature of violence for television to change. We have to change in consciousness because corporation runs the entertainment industry and work for profit. Unless we adopt a gentler model where violence is negated society becomes police bound and violence the norm

ARE WOMEN REALLY LIBERATED PSYCHOLOGICALLY?
Women asked for liberation but yet lay on their back holding a begging bowl. When things don't go her way she plots to destruct. Instead of standing tall and gird to learn new talent and skill, she succumbs to narcicisstic ways. "I am special." Now, I find that most divorces are caused by women. Once married she finds fault and nags like a dripping fauce...t until satisfied. And if that doesn't work she hammers until the head of the nail is broken. Furthermore, if the relationship fails most likely children have to be dealt with. "Is he a good father. Can he do it?" In battle, she finds excuses and struts her nurturing instinct to take the rights of the man she dearly once loved. She belittles, and yes she obsesses and juggles in her favor. "Is he?" she asks. Ladies, don't worry men are capable. Perhaps, more because men don't carry the garbage, the grudge, the non-sense women bag. So, for those women who insist in bouncing the ball alone I'll suggest sharing the basket in the court. Team work soothes the beast into a civilized person where actions are fruitful. Smart women work with their former spouses, stand tall, and together the child can flower into a healthy person. And for those who are childless re-think your position free from favors, a begging bowl, and turn on your inner compass. The woman who understands will be pleasantly surprised how nature restores, and finds a reservoir of pure energy. Even so, it is this energy that negates darkness into inspiration and flashes liberating insight

A MIND IN REVOLT IS CREATIVE, AWAKENED, AND COMPASSIONATE.
The purpose of education is to mold, conform, and imitate. At birth, the mind is blank like a white sheet, and unless parents are astute, the mind is shaped to mediocrity. So, in our education, in our relationship with government, in our relationship with religion through various means, we are being influenced to conform, to imitate. Wher...e, then, lies the nature of creativity if clay is molded to a pattern? Is it possible for parents to shape the mind to be inquisitive, curious, and explorative? We have lost to think out something original for ourselves. Everything is served on a platter. Should not the mind be in revolt to understand the influences that are always impinging, interfering, controlling, and shaping? Parents can teach the mind to be in a state of revolt not accepting but asking questions. If not, would you agree that those are the factors of a mediocre mind that is always fearful and being in a state of confusion. And because of its condition to conformity, it wants order, it wants consistency, it wants a form, a shape by which it can be guided and controlled. Would you not agree that these forms, these various influences create a contradiction in the individual, create confusion in the individual? Then, any choice between influences is surely still a state of mediocrity. A mind in a state of revolt can only be creative, and it is this mind that is capable of shedding all influences, all interferences that stand in its way of being. Teach the young to think, ask questions, explore, inquire, and examine. A conformed mind is violent opposed to a mind in revolt rejecting mold and shape. That creativeness is not yours or mine, it is anonymous. It is possible for parents to teach their children to think so that they are always in revolt thinking something original for themselves? And not to mold or shape into something set in granite? It is very difficult to cut through granite, but the mind is pliable and able to being completely alone and think things through to transform and shed all influences, all interferences.

FEAR IS THE KNOWN.
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” quoted George Washington.
Don't you think that fear is a psychological condition? It is something known that you feared? However; what if you observe your fear and understand the assumption that govern...s fear. Then, what happens to fear? Would you agree, that fear dissipates and the cells in your brain mutate? Why do we fear? Is it not that you have been conditioned to fear? A mind that is freer from its psychological condition is to be feared? The only responsibility you have is to free its condition. If this is true, then, how can you be controlled by a master? What is there to control if your mind is freer? Sure, you can imprison but how because of mutation be reduced to fear? What is impossible is aimed fear to diminish who you are. The only fear that exists is the known. You know that government is brutal and fail to reason. They can torture and even kill. However; inner freedom cannot be contaminated by brutal force or torture. Freedom is to know your condition and boundaries, which have been imposed to secure false psychological security. A meditative mind is not respectable even though it breathes in a certain society. It departs from the known to the unknown understanding illusions that are feared. Dare to understand unexplored assumptions that govern your life. The realizations of those assumptions secure the mind. The only fearful master who stands in its way to freedom is yourself.

IRAN LEANS ON THE DRAGON AND RIDES WITH HIS DAME TO A WIN.

The hand of the clock is closing the old ringing in the New Year. America is celebrating. However; from afar, I hear a noise from a chorus and drums pounding loudly climaxing crowds into a frenzy. It is the sound of a war ritual. The roaring and beating come from the Star of David. Close by the camp I hear rapping and tapping of helicopto...rs hovering dropping paper like snow flakes, "It is our duty to nuke." The rumbling rotating blades knifed my spirit. A few moments passed, then, fire leaped and spit forcefully toward the center. The chorus shout, " It is our duty." The drummer laments, "The economy is in a meltdown. The political elites are exposed. Capitalism is on the run. It is time to drop. It is either us or them." Out of the orange-and red-lit sky a Red Dragon appeared and quenched the fire full of force. The world watched and feared the dragon wagging his tail, and on his tail rode a great dame dressed provacatively holding a sickle and hammer. The dragon offered comfort, and a man with a turban twirled sat next to the dame. The wisdom of this tale bombing Iran will back fire. The plan has adverse consequences because Iran wins support from China and Russia, two un-approachable states. America needs the duo in the future and would do well to re-think the scenerio.

ECSTASY
I often ponder the nature of ecstasy. Most of us associate ecstasy with religion or drugs. Even so, don't you think that is limited? We should ask, what is ecstasy? Is it not being carried away by an overwhelming emotion? Could it be listening to sweet music in a perfect rapture? Perhaps, there can be a state of elated bliss reading a book? Conversely, is it sexual, the climax between two ...people? Most organized religions choke on that concept. It is simply taboo. However; is it not a state of expanded consciousness where the Self is abdicated binding and dissolving the senses into a perfect rhythm? The Self is dissolved and then the only thing that remains is rhythm, the Universe. Yes, even in love-making when the self does not exist the couple enjoys ecstasy. Ecstasy is doing what you love and abdicating self into a state of being.

Max Bin,
What is more honorable collecting bottles and cans or panhandling? Panhandling teaches people to obtain something for nothing. However, collecting bottles and cans takes effort. Imagine, walking flesh to the bone jumping and digging into garbage bins hoping to earn a few coins.
I have witnessed souls' diving into a bin when temperature exceeds one-hundred. Surely, sweat pouring off the br...ow is not cherry picking for treasure.
On a personal note, I like you. Looking at your picture holding that sign, I see a man who sees things as they are. I love the way you look, a man who dares to be himself. Accepting oneself is a rare quality and the only path to freedom. Accepting is loving and being in touch with existence. Sure, most of us know of existence but to be in touch with your own existence is the experience of being. And not to be imposed by boundaries of the outside but a movement within, a reservoir of true security.

The gentleman, Bruce Van Vorce wrote correctly," people are disillusioned and gave up." The drops of the jobless rate are not cheers of charm. To the contrary, alarm bells are rung loudly. The results must reveal those who mitigated to part-time and whipped to defeat. People are astute and use the tool of discernment when reading an article. Journalists are often humanitarians in vain pursuit. They are caught-up un-aware in the web of supporting the establishment.

I am in agreement with John Hillman. However; let us be patient, since we know where the error lies. San Bernardino is the second poorest city of the nation, Detroit being first. So, now we know the weakness of San Bernardino. Let us, then, reverse the trend to good tidings, hospitality, and lowering fees. Gestapo tactics of code-enforcement need an over-haul. Agencies have to place bullet-proof s...creens to protect themselves from the public. Of course, this is absurd. Walls are forms of apartheid sending a message that the public is dangerous and staff must be protected. Actually, it is the other way around. The city-staff is dangerous because it interrogates, punishes, and destroys the relationship. To change the tide, simple and direct policy is wise and prudent. And eventually, barriers can be removed. The mission is accomplished if the apartheid walls and bullet-proof windows are removed. For the wise, hospitality spurts a reservoir of energy to flower goodness and genuine partnership. And not to squash the best asset government has, the confidence of the people. Truly, confidence is the only asset a government has. What else does the government have?

Violence is deterministic; however, humans have the mind to engage in free will.
A MEDITATION ON A SUNDAY-AFTERNOON
The animal is violent, and human beings, who are the results of the animal are pre-disposed of that characteristic viewed as deterministic. Because humans evolved from the animal, it has a peculiar flair and love for wars and conflict. This is certainly shown by thousands of wars a...nd as consequence humans developed an ideology of non-violence. The ideal of non-violence is also deterministic and wired in the brain. Since humans are the result of the animal, and violence is wired in the brain is it possible to be free from violence? I question if the brain is capable observing violence not as an ideal or ideology but fact? To look into violence the mind needs energy and freedom for the action of the insight or free will to approach. This requires deep meditation seeing the fact of violence, and not only outside of you but also inside of you. The fact is that you are violent, and it cannot be eradicated by any ideology through which you think can get rid of violence. The brain is so conditioned and pre-wired to violence and the ideology about violence, and the ideology to be free oneself of violence. The flash of insight is free will in action that negates time and rids the violence not having to preach non-violence or go on showing violence. So, if one is capable of looking at violence and understanding it, then perhaps there is a possibility of resolving it totally. And that is free will in action, an un-deterministic characteristic not embodied by any other animal except the human-being.

The comment by Mr. Perez is very interesting that when you live in a dump your part of the trash. I find that a deterministic point of view and question if people have the free will to look at things differently. Mr. Perez believes that a person has the pre-deposition to become part of the trash when living in a dump. However, the mind also has the pre-deposition to employ free-will, which is the ...action of the insight, to question and examine the environment and words relating to dumping and trash. Perhaps, we can look at the environment, dumping, trash, and comment differently. For example:
"When you live in a dump, you have the opportunity to find treasure ad mist the trash." "Some polished politicians who live in up-scale neighborhoods possess a trashy character that twists and turns like the famous crooked street in San Francisco."
Secondly, Mr. Perez depicted San Bernardino as dumpy and trashy. Cities surrounding San Bernardino are not immune from violence. And broadening the scope the United States has the highest prison population in comparison to other countries. Since, this is the case San Bernardino cannot be singled out. The nature of violence is an approved contract composed of political, social, and economic inequities. Since violence is a national issue, San Bernardino like most cities is a mixture of the good, bad, and ugly. However; a healthy mind regardless of the environment is always empowered to improve instead of succumbing to weakness having no hope for tomorrow.

President Obama crowned himself as the Imperial King when he signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law on New Year's Eve. Furthermore; he has eroded democracy and accelerated a police and war state and choked the Constitutution and the Bill of Rights. The National Defense Authorization Protection Act depicts President's Obama persona in domestic and foreign policy. The president... runs un-opposed and can be defeated by questioning his stance on anti-democratic issues. Unless his occult policies are exposed vigorously 2012 is the year of Obama. America was founded on individual freedoms and terminated the rule and role of a king. The candidate I observe formidable to the Obama campaign is Mitt Romney. The Republican presidential hopeful has the daring and the audacity to challenge gracefully and convincingly. The Mitt Romney today is not the man I saw and heard four years ago

The editorial fails to look at the big picture of Ron Paul and his politics.
The Republican Party would benefit to endorse Mr. Paul. America needs a civilized person who has good perception in economics, foreign policy, and social issues. Mr. Paul is astute in the US Constitution and the Federal Reserve. The Iranian issue was addressed well by Ron Paul. Smart politics is to work with Iran diplomat...ically not to sanction nor a threat to attack imagined sites. Furthermore, our relationship with Israel should ease and recognition of a Palestine state priority. Moreover; a dose of fairness for the twenty-first century having excellent skill in word opposed to drawing the sword. Sanctions, threats, and intimidation are outdated strategies that stagnate progress. And wars initiated by America after the second world wars were illegal and immoral. Ron Paul voiced courageously the illegality and our international... military presence as interference. Republican presidential candidate-hopeful, Ron Paul has keen insight and good character. My view on water-boarding and torture are similar to Mr. Paul. Water-boarding is a barbarous trait and demeaning for America. We should employ civilized tactics to extract information. Our torture policy has sabotaged the symbol of Lady Liberty in the world. Any candidate who endorses water-boarding is unfit to represent the American people and world.
Managing global conflict and diplomacy are crucial to the twenty-first century. Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman is least favorable because of their extreme religious views Mr. Perry, and Mrs. Bachman views are to the contrary pertaining to morality in a democratic society. Morality is independent of organized religion. The trio has little knowledge about managing global conflict, diplomacy, and possess tunnel like perception. Newt Gingrich is the level headed. However, his association with Freddie Mac raises a red flag to look at him more closely. For me, character is foremost and a candidate who has the guts to humanize foreign policy and reform the United Nations having nations voice in the decision-making process mitigating the power of the big five and abolishing their veto power. In the twenty-first century power-grabbing must be replaced with fairness and goodness. And at the end my candidate who profiles honesty, and integrity is Ron Paul.

When ethics have a cause, it becomes corrupted because it serves those who desire self-extension and self-fulfillment. The ethic is a distraction from, "what is." In the acceptance of, "what is," striving for truth ceases.

Meditation
Vladimir Putnam has a secret desire to carve his destiny in granite stone next to Stalin. The Russians are under his spell, because of his chameleon persona. His manner is like a gentle wind soothing the whimpers of whiney mummers. As a presidential hopeful armored in reptile skin he promises democracy and voice. And his promises are solid until the last vote. Then he twitches and emulates his dead hero and rule with hammering power nailing territories lost. And for twelve years silvery streams flow in raging waterfalls throughout the Red State stamping Putnam the Great Pretender.

Meditation
The character of President Obama is splintered radiating three. The first sketch is peace withdrawing the troops from Iraq. A sketch is fine lines that can be changed and manipulated. The second is a pretence for peace perfectly crayoned with markers. These markers are permanent outlining the voice of war. The third is red paint splashing freely on the canvas. This portrait portrays war-mongering against Iran to control the center of the Mid-East.

A just society is when natural and legal rights universally reflect and complement.

I am pleasantly surprised at the daring and audacity of the women from the Middle East. These amazing women are champions protesting in front and center, and in face of grave provocations stand tall and proud. Most of us depict these women as doe-eyed, veiled, and submissive. And no-one would believe that these e...xotically silent, gauzy inhabitants of imagined harems, closeted behind right gender roles can organize and mobilize. To the contrary, they are like the fierce Gurkhas un-matched in skill echoing relentlessly their natural right. The greatest shift and achievement are education. Education paved the way to battle for freedom, and freedom is simply a logical extension of democracy. And how can you stop an impossible force of awakened women and their fight for freedom? Not even the Taliban can discourage their potential nor Saudi Arabia with their restrictive gender policies. This is only the beginning for the Middle East pertaining to democracy. The West would do well to stay out and not interfere with their revolution. In short, the struggle is welcomed by the population not to be resolved by Western power or by Nato. And to add a warm note, hopefully the revolution is contagious and send a wave of courage to fight for our natural right opposed to the legal right that are bestowed on to a person by the law of particular political and legal system, and therefore, relative to specific cultures and governments. Even so, both must reflect and complement human-rights universally.

PROSTITUTION
I propose legalization to resolve immediate related issues and education to change attitude and rise above objectification.
The epidemic of prostitution must be considered a top priority. No city is immune from the oldest occupation. The short-skirted almost bare-butt bitches prancing in stilettos are more than a nuisance. A host of related crimes is associated with street hookers f...rom gangs, pimps, drugs, and Johns'. These tainted chicks need their own place to roam legally instead of prowling for bait in neighborhoods. And to my surprise, men dressed stylish in a tie and suit are most eager to host. It certainly is not the homeless who throws them a coin or two for a trick. They can't afford to keep them in stilettos. The Dutch put these dames in a red-light district. There they can glow and glean and strut like a peacock selling their stuff for a Euro. The men love to window shop, and the government loves the tax. The Dutch would do well to add education and counseling since prostitution is a sexual exploitation that inflicts both. Humans have the capacity to rise above the animal and experience sex freer from being objectified. Perhaps, if we take the approach of legalization and education, we have a healthier society.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly
San Bernardino was braved to come forward. However; I resent having San Bernardino be a scapegoat for cities who experience the bad and ugly. Every city has the good, bad, and ugly. Other cities hide, but I can assure that if we look closely violence is everywhere. Violence is not reserved to a particular city or social status because human beings, which are the result of the animal are violent. It is part of our being to be angry, to be jealous, to be envious, to seek power, position, prestige, and all the rest of it, to be dominant to be aggressive. And this is shown by thousands of wars.

Listening closely and meditating on the South Carolina Republican debate, I observe that Ron Paul is the only candidate who is not owned by the military-security complex, Wall Street, and the Israel Lobby. All the others, including President Obama, are owned by exactly the same interest groups. There are no differences between them. Every candidate except Ron Paul stands for war and a police state..., and all have demonstrated their complete and total subservience to Israel. The fact that there is no difference between them is made perfectly clear by the absence of substantive issues in the campaigns of the Republican candidates. More importantly, only Ron Paul respects the US Constitution and its protection of civil liberty. Ron Paul understands that if the Constitution cannot be resurrected from its public murder by Congress and the executive branch, then Americans are lost to tyranny. Time is running out in which to revive the Constitution. One more presidential term with no habeas corpus and no due to process for US citizens and with torture and assassination of US citizens by their own government, and it will be too late. Tyranny will have been firmly institutionalized, and many Americans from the lowly to the high and mighty will have been implicated in the crimes of the state. Since Paul will not be elected as president, by 2016 American liberty will be forgotten and buried in a grave yard tightly sealed and sold under the sacred canopy of, "terrorism." However; meditating deeply, there is hope at the end of the tainted-rain-bow. The seed sown by Ron Paul takes root and harvest when our great-grand-children revolt and faces the challenge to restore the Constitution and Liberty.

Meditation is bathing in perfume sprinkling fragrance splashing scent sanctifying the brain.
MEDITATION AND FREEDOM OF THE WILL
Adding to Socrates's famous words of life and examination is that the measure of free will is self-knowledge. Surely, meditation is the ointment that keeps the brain vibrant regardless of age. Bathe in meditation and watch yourself, know yourself, be yourself and take t...he responsibility for yourself. In other words: Without meditation there can be no freedom of will. For those who understand the view of determinism is for old dogs not able to learn new tricks. Our gift from the Universe is the ability to explore into our consciousness. Our mind has the capacity to expand to the outer-limits of the Universe and practice the craft of free-will by reflecting and allowing fantasies to play.

Violence is deterministic; however, humans have the mind to engage in free will.

I personally see a healthy competition from abroad which could have a potentially positive structural impact on how the U.S. delivers health services. I believe the emergence of world class health care across the Pacific will likely give U.S. hospitals and clinics a much needed kick in the bedpan.

Medical outsourcing is the outcome of our medical crises. The single payer national health systems of the sort found in the U.K, Canada, and all over Europe make the dynamics a bit different, but they certainly do no avert the crises of aging popluations, smoking, and obesity.

Because of our greed medical outsourcing is the future for the U.S.

Because of our greed and impersonal nature we seek instant gratification opposed to a long term plan of affordable health care.

To lessen the outsourcing and reverse consequences the solution is affordable health care. Hospitals and doctors fail to see the simplicity. The voters must set the record straight for the medical establishment.
