Hard core editorial.
Medicare and Public Healthcare!
I watched americas choice to fix the world, President B. Obama speak about medicare, public health and elections in Iraq. (on CNN) I find the entire american politic to be an amazing entity, that all on it's own, is its own being! I do not understand why there are americans denied good health care, because they are poor and can not afford the most basic health packages? (I also know that it is state by state)
As a sidebar, on Discovery channel. I watched "Destroyed in Seconds", hosted by Ron Pitts. The USAF was celebrating it's 50th anniversary a few years back and launched a delta rocket from Cape Canaveral with a GPS satellite for research.
I mention the afore, well, due to an "anomaly", the whole darned thing blew to pieces! That entire USAF failure, would have paid a good portion of the public choice for americas health care! I find the whole thing curious, americas government can "burn" money, but not take care of her "most at risk" children? But heh, I am a simple canadien with a very canadien point of view.
Also, on CNN. Earlier this week, Rick Sanchez with Wolf Blitzer, announced that the big three automotive manufacturers, in all likelihood, won't, don't or can't pay back the US government, more importantly, her tax payers, the monies loaned to them! No reason given either! Well, one that made sense! I live in Ontario, Canada, we bailed them out, up here as well!
The "Bomb"!
Most North Americans do not know that France and Israel have the "bomb"! There are nations that are currently chasing, either the idea of the "bomb", or the actual "bomb" itself. These countries feel that, with the "bomb", they will be treated as America and Russia are treated! With respect and deference! Ironic, considering Russia and America have been trying for twenty plus years, to get rid of what they "have" and prevent others from getting "it"! My opinion on the "bomb" is the same as "guns". Either give everybody one, or, "nationalize" weapon manufacturers and control the weapons on-site!
Money!
As arrogant as this will sound, over the last three years, as bad as things seem to be, no money was "lost"! Most of it ended up over seas! Some stayed in North America, just not enough. There were a lot of folks who, are continuing, to make a ton of cash off the horrible economic crisis. But most investors, ie. banks, investment firms and such, instead of investing in North America. Moved their revenue over seas, into investments, hedge funds and start-ups, which will never help any of us...ever!
As money is spent, on research, to make the "bomb"...better? (there's the universal oxymoron) Remember, a child lays in bed tonight with no "right" to health care! No right to "peace"! No right to the same "rights", that we as North Americans and Western Europeans, enjoy everyday!
Kingboat
p.s. I pray everyday, that you americans, made the right choice!
p.p.s.s. Kick my butt...here!
