Healthcare and Government

What is happening to our congress?  It has come to a point where governing is no longer even an element of their day-to-day job.  The Healthcare bill in the senate is the most recent example and hopefully, the last.  Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!  We must pass this by Christmas!!!  Why?

This entire process is being driven by emotion rather than reason.  “What item do we need to include to get you to accept this other item?” is all they ask.  No matter the true cost, no matter who it impacts and how.  These people are making a mockery of our system.  All so that they can stroke their ego on how important they are and how they can make “big” decisions.

That is all crap.  They want the headline, no matter if it helps or hurts the bottom line.  Deadly Sins: 2 (Pride, Extravagance), American People: 0.

  • The Aphorism Drive

    Here is a truism, if not an aphorism. Without death and the certainty of physical finitude, Homo sapiens would never have left the cave. Unhappiness and uncertainty — rather than happiness and certitude — are what get us off our duffs.

    No misery. No Sistine Chapel.

    So what happens to the creative spirit when government steps in to soothe our anxieties? Without unhappiness, what happens to culture? Without adversity, what happens to motivation? Parents know. Suffice to say, the work ethic is not strong among the coddled.

    Most important, with all needs met, what happens to freedom — that human recoil against imposed order?”

Wise Words
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have...a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers.
