The video link below is to a site with an interview done by Huckabee (the only guy I actually would have wanted to vote for) and a medical doctor who decided to charge a flat fee and the DAMN government stepped in and said,"whoa, wait a minute you have to charge more money."
Let me just say that they (being the government) want him to charge more for specifically sick visits. So when you need it the most you are going to pay out the wazoo. IT is okay for him to charge nothing for his wellness visits under the 79.00 per month fee but he has to charge a minimum of 33.00 per visit when you are sick. So loosely translated it means that it is completely okay for this doctor to profit off his patients being as that wellness visits typically are done once a year or twice but it is not okay for him to make it easier on the poor or sick people when they need it.
Co-pays are the reason I don't go to the doctor anymore it is pointless and it is a waste of money. Not to mention, your family doctor is only the first step and then there are numerous specialists they are going to send you to for further analysis costing double the copay and those doctors will schedule all these other specialists for testing. Lets not forget that absolutely nothing will be accomplished within that first visit with any of the list of doctors you are now having to see and that several visits will follow the initial consultation. That's why I will die before I ever go and deal with another doctor again...ever! By the time you figure out what is wrong you are out thousands of dollars and are exhausted by the process of it all.
It is okay for him to charge 79.00 times 12 months (960.00) for two wellness visits a year BUT when they are sick you have to charge them even more and every time they come!
So again, it is okay for a doctor in the united states to outright rob you but it is illegal for them to help you out by lowering prices?Hmmm. Sounds like the government I know.
I haven't emailed the Whitehouse since Bush disgusted me with his war on Iraq but now I am emailing you out of disgust for your blatant attack on cigarette smokers as I went to the store the other day and bought a pack and was charged more then a dollar more. First, not all stores have the same price varying from 3.93 per pack to 5.15 per pack within a mile radius which is clear price gouging.
Second, this does not affect anyone but me. I do not waste government money on my cigarette habit nor do I plan to in the future. Chemotherapy is a poison with which I will have no parts of, surgery only makes cancer worse when the air hits it and so if and when I ever get cancer I am not going to let the expensive doctors treat me anyway, yet, I have to pay for those who do.
The non-smokers in my family are either dying from cancer or have already died from it but the smokers are still doing well so your theory that all smokers are worse off then non-smokers is based on what? I already get treated horrible just for choosing to smoke cigarettes and now I am getting harassed even more when I choose to pay this ridiculous price. Nobody deserves to be alienated because of their choice to smoke a cigarette it is just plain stupid. I don't have to take a break at work for a cigarette, I don't have to smoke in a restaurant and don't even if given the choice to out of respect for others. The fact here is that maybe some people actually like smoking versus addicted to smoking. Pain pills issued by the very doctors you are trying to protect are way worse and cause more then just medical costs to rise but prison cost too as they are 9- 10 times more likely to be abused then smoking a cigarette.
We should be free to smoke a cigarette, eat a greasy hamburger, and have a stiff drink if we want to and it should be nobody else’s business what we choose to do with our own bodies. I do not like, appreciate or accept the government making money off of my choice to smoke it is unfair and just makes me more disgusted with the stupid government crap that continues to get more and more into everybody else’s personal lives. Even though all these people have quit smoking the money that smokers supposedly cost the government (which doesn't pay my insurance or my doctor's bills) has also gone up not down so what since does that make? It's like the price of gas going up because it supposedly has to and then we see the gas companies making record profit.
I feel angry about all this lying that continues to go on from out of that Whitehouse office and abroad. The truth is that it costs the government nothing when I go to the doctor so you justifying the price increase with government debt involving cigarette smokers is ridiculous and a lie. Medicaid only covers the children of smokers as children and I know they don't have medical bills associated with smoking cigarettes so you must be referring to the senior citizens who get benefits that they paid for through the years of slave labor they put into this country. Not to mention my mother died from cancer (another non-smoker) and Medicaid paid for her since she was terminally ill with no other insurance and something tells me that you are adding her bill and the thousands of others just like her (all non-smokers) with cancer to our (being the smokers) responsibility.
All the way around the government pays nothing and we end up paying everything plus a little extra. By keeping more people alive longer you are ultimately creating more cost anyway. People have to die someway and they should die in a timely fashion instead of filling up nursing homes that only mistreat them in the end. I must say though I am not surprised that you did this and I did not vote for you or Mr. McCain because I know that neither of you have the interest of the American public as your main focus. I also know you don’t care about this email at all and are not going to change anything but I have the right (for now) to protest and so I am exercising that right while I still have the choice to.
So the government says you can't discipline your children and then when they become uncontrollable convince you to send them to one of their facilities where they are disciplined by them the way you should have disciplined them in the first place. Sound stupid? It is stupid.
I find it amusing if not down right hilarious how all the same people who jumped on the bush band wagon were right there bashing him and jumping on the next one to come along. These people have no minds of their own but rather just follow the majority and listen to whatever inspirational speech the next jackass decides to come up with.
FOOLS
The worse part about it is not that we have another puppet who is under control of the few rich who make all the decisions, but is that he was elected for one reason and one reason only, he is black. OR is he.... because he doesn't look black to me but rather half white and half black and sometimes half dead with his purple/gray looking lips. Hmmmmm. I guess the white part is just ignored. Regardless, my black friends all voted and all the people I have asked who were black with the exception of a very rare few all voted him in because he was black and only because he was black. This man could have been the next hitler and they would have still voted him in because of his race.
I did not vote him in office because of his extensive involvement in the united nations as I personally feel that he will sell us out even further then mister bush has. I also did not vote him in because I had no idea who he was, where he came from, what he was about or anything else until he was nominated for presidency which had me feeling he was inexperienced just like his counterpart Bush. They are puppets and only puppets to do the will of another.
I was extremely disgusted though by my black friends who voted not with intelligence but with malice and favoritism towards race. They were saying that white people vote for white presidents simply because they are white which is ridiculous because most people I know vote based on their political party except for me. Yet to turn around and vote someone in just because their black doesn't make them any better then the people who ever have voted in white just because they were white. Two wrongs don't make a right and an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
It is time for a change, yet that change won't come from mr. obama I can tell you that. In fact it isn't going to come from anyone at this point. We are done and just like I said in my blog post over a year ago when people start losing their slave jobs then they will wake up and it will be too late to change a damn thing. Wow, here we are, standing in the middle of the hurricane and the only thing that will be left is bits and pieces to put in a museum one day. America was stripped of everything and will continue to be stripped until we have no power left, no freedoms, no rights, no voice.
The funny thing is that when people finally started to realize that bush hadn't done us any good and had wisened up a bit with a tad increase in their knowledge on politics the upper heads had to play the distraction game. IF you distract them then their knowledge is futile and that is what the race card was all about. More then half the people didn't know about his political past or anything about his character and the rest just didn't care as long as they got their black president.
I was wondering when they were going to give the native americans their own month to celebrate their history, or maybe their own tv channels, their own movies, scholorships, colleges or any recognition at all for what they have done to them? I think it is funny that a race of people who want so bad to be equal are in fact so quick to seperate themselves. IF I was black I would not want one month of my heritages' history but rather be equal and learn about it 12 months out of the year like the rest of American's history. I would not segregate my self. Plus Martin luther king fought against black people having to go to seperate schools, having seperate anything and yet they fight today to be seperated within their own colleges and the like. It makes no sense.
I am american mixed with a whole lot of everything to include being 1/16th native american (3 different tribes with three different views and cultures), 1/8 german, 1/16th welsh, a little irish and others. I don't think the classification of white is really fair because their were lots of different white people even hundreds of years ago to include...scottish, German, brittish, welsh, russian, etc. all with different distinct personalities based upon their counrtries views and how they were raised. And there is the key. It all boils down to how we are raised.
The only black person I know that didn't vote for obama is in fact a Jehovah witness because they don't vote at least that is what she told me anyway. If you are one who voted based on race then I say to you that you are a racist yourself and used your own vote to discriminate against whites for no reason. If you are the idiot person who believed the whole repetitive message of WE NEED CHANGE then you are IGNORANT, INEXPERIENCED, AND DON"T DESERVE TO VOTE.
I feel like I am on the merry go round that just won't let you off and if you jump, well, you'll certainly never land on your feet. Why, you ask?
Because this country is F-ing crazy! That's all there is to say at this point because the whole world now understands what I have been saying for the last seven years but they STILL don't do a damn thing! Nothing! Absolutely nothing but continue to go to their stupid slave jobs day after day and only when they lose those precious time takers will they actually start to care enough to do anything at all. Of course by that time it will be too late and our whole country will be fighting each other over what little bit we have left.
I look into the eyes of my son and think, where in the hell will we be in ten years and what will he have to be taught in order to survive in this country at all. In this new America we have created it is slowly seperating into two distinct groups of people. The rich and the poor. With that grouping is also an expectation of behaviour.
It has become a scary occurence over and over where people just don't seem to feel anything anymore for other people. They are more worried about the better good or what's best for the whole and are more then willing to kill for it. There is less forgiveness and more forcfullness. There is less compassion and more Hate. There is absolutely no understanding for anyone doing anything considered "bad" by the group and a higher chance of people condemning others through their own judgements.
I don't understand the logic behind everyone being good or being emotionless slaves. It is through our mistakes that we learn our paths and some people unfortunately have a lot more mistake making to do then others but it is not our right to force change immediately on anyone. It is through the fear that change will come to those who force it upon others but it is through the heart that change comes to those who have been given freedom to his own life according to his own will without the intereference of others prematurely. Now, if murder is actually committed then a sentence must be given but if someone looks like a murderer because of his appearance physically, his behaviour, his artworks, or his past times one can not just assume that he is a murderer and then treat him like he is one if he has done nothing wrong. Innocent until proven guilty, remember? Well apparently not these days because you can't express yourself at all in any manner or you just raise all kinds of red flags and alarms, tasers and police.
I yell, sometimes I cry, other times I laugh hysterically. These are called emotions and I was taught that you don't hold them in but rather express them in a positive way and all of the above were once considered positive. Now, they are considered mental instability which is stupid and dangerous. If people don't express themselves they will go off the deep end and if someone is angry they should yell instead of hit, if they are sad they should cry instead of hurt someone else, it is common sense to me. These days though you can't tell anyone anything without them thinking you are just too emotional. If something is bothering you and you try and talk about it to the other person it is just absolutely frowned upon and you should not have said anything at all just to keep the peace. What good is peace if it isn't real?
What good is it following all the rules and paying all the money to live in a place that refuses to do what is best for us for a change? The IRS right now took my money and owes me money but when I call to talk to them about it they tell me through a computer lady that they cannot take my call today call back tomorrow and I call back the next day and it is the same thing. If I owed them money they would take my call but since they owe me and surely would never be required to pay me interest on keeping it overdue they are refusing my calls! IF I did it they would charge me lots of interest, penalties and jail time. I am sick and tired of being pushed around in my own country that I pay my very last hard earned dollar to it is just flat out ridiculous and something must be done about it. No new president will help this situation, we need a complete system overhaul and it must be done politically without violence.
Even the police, guys! The damn police are just so scared of their jobs these days they have to taser every poor person that they come across like old ladys, pregnant woman, college students, drunk people, etc. People who are supposed to protect you just as corrupt as the individuals they are locking up.
The oil companies getting richer while pointing fingers at us for polluting the earth and sticking their hands in our pockets to bleed what little bit of money we have left. George Bush promoting no child left behind while the children get pushed through school regardless of learning the materials and more then a few of them are left homeless on the streets. This is creating less educated, less financially stable, and less career focused citizens which is what is needed in a slave country where the leaders want stupid and helpless people under their thumbs! All the while promises of a better future lay just past the horizen so we are told.
Whatever! Whatever! Whatever! I am not stupid and I don't think they are treating us right, period. WAKE UP PEOPLE WAKE UP
By law a person cannot or at least should not be fired for a first time offense but rather reprimanded and coached or trained otherwise as to how they should act while on air. To send one man out to the slaughter for an idiotic statement such as "nappy headed ho's" is petty, ridiculous and insane. To advertise severe punishment as a necessity instead of encourage reformation and change show us how our world is turning into barbarians weilding iron fists at each other. When we as americans cannot take a joke or cannot hear a person's words and ignore them like our mothers and their mothers taught us to do then I think it shows what state of mind the country is really in. We are a bunch of whiny, cry babies if this is our main concern.
It feels like some sort of school with a bunch of cliques running around pointing fingers and crying about the other. This place has become an embarassment when all we can worry about is a stupid comment made on tv from an ex drug addict/alcoholic to the point that we stage more protests and effective movements to fire a man and destroy his career then we have ever or would ever do for the dying children in Iraq.
You have a few individuals who fuel racism in the hearts of the black people to include mr rev al sharpton, several rappers and radio talk show hosts. Can I just point out that nappy headed doesn't mean black people it just means that they might not be groomed very well and didn't bother to comb their hair that day wether black or white. As far as Ho's goes, some women and MEN I might add like being called another person's ho and others find it disgusting but true to the word it is how it is percieved not the words themselves that cause chaos to arise and the perception was just as idiotic as the statement. So these racist sexist comments have now been turned into a derrogatory statement that was just ill-humor by simply adding another's point of view.
This man's life has been turned upside down and his comments aired all over the place thousands of times a day for all the people who might have missed the ranting by choice to be forced to hear eventually through all this attention given to it. Not only have they spread it, they aggreed with a total destruction on someone's career because of a simple mistake. One such simple mistake in 30 years time deserves a total loss of your life and pursuit of happiness? Even if the worst outcome of your comments is hurting someone's feelings and not death or illness or loss in any way the people think it is fair to condemn this man to a darkened future and to be blotted out from our mainstream? Is this not insane people?
Who does this remind you of?
Secret Societies and their power to strip another of their status just because they did something they didn't like.
Imus's comments like many people on the news were stupid and influenced only those who were already corrupt enough to listen to him until it became a big issue and then it influenced a whole country because of one group of people called NAACP. People who influence seperation or discrimination should not be in a position to influence a large mass of people however the process to which we get to that point has to be a legitmate one that follows our ethics and morals not to be replaced by a mass angry mob of citizens forcing immediate change with unfair boundries that may come to haunt the very people who chose to use such tactics never to achieve the true goal of equality. Freedom and Equality by force is dictatorship in disguise.
On a side note that woman's basketball team actually became quite famous because of a man's ignorant words. His stupidity gave them more coverage then the winners of the game itself and their reaction was all that mattered through it all. So if they forgave him then they show that they are not nappy headed ho's instead rather a group of decent kind loving individuals, but if they don't then well, I would say the label fits with the behaviour not the race or the sex.
America you have bigger fish to fry and larger problems to solve. Such as OUR ECONOMY, our JOBLESSNESS, our DEBTS, and my favorite OUR POINTLESS WAR!!!!! All of which I might add are OUR PROBLEMS not white or black problems but OUR PROBLEMS as a whole so lets stop bickering over he said she said and get our asses in gear so we can turn this sinking ship around back to sturdy ground.
It amazes me how I am able to see this argument unfold over the years since at one point all the people considered global warming a lie and the ones who believed it were conspiracy theorists and now all the people are stampeding like bulls for a solution to a problem that we just not long ago didn't believe existed all because of "An Inconvenient Truth". A movie by Al Gore which depicts the CO2 levels and how we the average american citizen is the worse cause of this incites nationwide belief in what was just little paid attention to days before. Why would he do this you must ask yourself because if he cared so much he would have tried harder to fight for us when he lost the presidency through electoral voting which to me was a disgusting shame the lack of effort he made in saving this country and therefore putting himself in a position to fix these things "bothering" him like global warming.
Al Gore neither mentions power plants or the cutting down of trees as a contributing source in all this but pins the blame on the cars that we drive to work everyday and thus pinning the blame on us never mentioning the SUV's, Tanks, Aircraft, Seacraft in Iraq continuously burning natural fuels due to a war that should not have been fought where countless woman, children, as well as a few good men have died today not ten years from now but today they are dying and we do nothing about it but call it a "Just Cause" and point a finger at the public for driving to work and potentially causing future disaster which ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE.
I see the same people who did not believe in global warming now deciding to rally behind the scientists that at one time were considered overreacting by the same peers. Now that old Al Gore made his stage appearance quoting a bunch of things that he is simply speculating all the skeptics have hopped aboard and all the beleivers have jumped off. (such as myself)
READ articles from the past and compare them to now and you will see that yes indeed the planet is warming up but why is it doing this really and another good question is has it happened before?
We have had acid rain caused by the steam output into water from electric plants which we fixed and diverted into the atmosphere, but have yet to hear the consequences of outputing so much heat into our atmosphere continuously. One must assume that if so much heat going into the water caused Acid rain then likewise so much heat going into our atmosphere can not be a good thing. That is only one thing that is not being mentioned while the american citizens are blasted for killing the planet with their daily routines of driving to work everyday.
There is the research facility for global warming that actually uses an ionic heater to heat up a portion of the atmoshpere to bounce beams back to earth and somehow help them with learning more about global warming. It really does exist, it really is called HAARP and it really is in Alaska but I am not a scientist nor am I any conspiracy theorist so I will stick with what I know and leave it at that. It is supposed to run on low frequency instead of high and is for strictly research purposes (so they say anyway on their website.) The key word there is HEAT folks and doesn't matter wether it is legitimate research or not it is in fact heating up portions of the atmosphere for those research purposes..
Then there is the numerous cell phone towers, satellite transmissions, computers, etc. Well, what happens when you leave your computer running? It gets hot, really hot at times. With all the wiring we have going on here and components within each house it would appear at least from a distance above the earth that we are one big giant computer that is running 24-7 and thus would likely heat up.
Personally I think that we need to work together to fix this problem and stop harrassing each other over who is right or wrong. Who's lying or who is making up a conspiracy are questions you shouldn't have to ask because you should be educated enough to do the research yourself to find out the difference. It is quite simple really.
Do anything you can to decrease your heat ouput as an individual and that will force the power companies to run less, don't encourage or participate in the research facility and it is no longer research therefore no longer necessary, don't support the war and the SUVs, bombs and aircraft won't be running therefore wont be polluting, turn off cellular phones, Satellite TVs, GPS, DVD players, VCRs etc, and unplug them. If you have trees on your property, well, I suggest you ease your appetite for money and save them for the whole "global warming" catastrophe and stop cutting them down it is really an easy solution to this problem.
In a nutshell...
Sacrifice convenience, Educate yourself, refresh your morals and values with a side of courage and you got yourself a solution that works.
Being as that I personally do not know the truth I am asking if anyone of you actually know the truth either?
For instance, Lebanon up in flames because the shiites are backing hezbollah. The same hezbollah if I am correct is also a problem in Israel as well as Syria and branded a terrorist organization. However, we (the americans) were convinced that Sunni Leader Saddam Hussein was backing hezbollah and other such groups and that would mean that the Sunnis were more in favor of supporting Hezbollah not the shiites UNLESS the shiites in Iraq were doing it all along and backing hezbollah in Palestine.
(Which would then mean that the bush administration appointed a terrorist backing leadership over saddam and would fit well with the comments that he made about the black masked men hanging the former leader, were now being accepted into the terror coalition.)
Terror Coaltion vs Terror Organization (what's the difference I wonder?
Bin Laden didn't destroy us. We destroyed ourselves by the guiding light of the bush administration. Isn't it Ironic, Don't you think?
So which group is for terrorists truly or are they both?
A woman, a man who claims to represent the african americans but yet has a name like an arab, a first time spanish president or the same as always a white, young president to lead the way?
The ONLY one not playing on his race or sexual nature is in fact the young white male.
Why in the hell is that?
What in the world should it matter what color or sex they are and why should we give them the upper hand just because of such?
As it stands at this moment the only one who seems to be playing the game somewhat true to its rules is the young white male and if he does win I would hate to hear people complain that it was because he was a young white male. Likewise if the man claiming to be african american wins I would hate to have people think it was just because he was black or Hilary just because she is a woman.
I, just in case it matters, am not white nor am I black or spanish but I am a woman, an american woman, and I say that the person who is best for president at the moment (which would have been old Al Gore had he not submitted such propaganda in his latest movie) is in fact the one who is not playing on the minds and hearts of the American people if there is such a candidate.
Don't vote based on racial views or sexual preferences, past mistakes and the like for if we do then we are not getting better but merely flipping to the opposite side of the scale.
In the past it has been racial in favor of white males but if we continue this screwed up biased way of thinking then we will in effect do the same thing again wether it be electing a man because he is white or electing a man because he is black or because she is a she.
For the first time lets vote someone in that we have researched thoroughly and feel in our hearts is the best light for our path regardless of the color or sex. Let's not be biased ignorant individuals anymore against anyone.
Let not fame or money cloud your judgment as it has in the past.
Be not a fool... but a tool for the country we love so dear.
Don't eat fatty or greasy foods they will lead to heart disease and you will die
Don't this, Don't that so you can live a longer life and not die.
Despite if you like smoking, enjoy fatty/greasy hamburgers, and would melt for a soda anyday you are told to give those things up to live longer.What is the point of living longer if it isn't doing what you want to be doing?
How many of us torture ourselves wearing a seatbelt (if you are short like me it cuts into your neck) JUST IN CASE we get into an accident and die!? Almost all of us and what is the number one cause of illness and disease? STRESS!!!!! Is it not stressful doing all these things JUST IN CASE when really there are no guarantees?
How many of us, who do the things we are told we shouldn't, secretly harbor guilt, shame, humiliation, FEAR, as well as anger towards those who try and force change on them? Do not all the above things also cause illness and depression?
Above all, if we eliminate all ways of dying then how are we going to die? Immortality is not what I want in the flesh and blood but rather in the spirit which is not attainable here in this present state (in my own opinion)
Everyone must die somehow so in my own views I feel your life should be lived how you want to live it as long as the ten commandments are being followed to ensure balance and order for all parties around you. From there it is up to God how long you live and in what way you die not you or anyone else. Hence the reason forced resuscitation or assisted suicide is illegal and should stay that way.
