People are neither lovely nor ugly - it is their behavior that defines them. The problem with casinos is it brings the same type of values, greed and capitalism, onto the reservations. These are the same type of values that caused Europeans to divide up North and South America. The land is useless unless it is private.
Casinos are the worst type of greed because it is clear that the profits come from preying on people's hopes.
There are lots of things worse than casinos. People have free will whether or not to gamble. The worst greed in my opinion, is preying upon elderly people and the predatory lending industry who make payday loans at sky high interest rates. The victims are desperate people with no where else to turn.
I agree that there are lots more things worse than gambling and casinos. But gambling can become and addiction. Plus it is often cited as a tax on the poor.
Unfortunately, there has been little movement, if any, to pass those regulations on banks.
the banks are the most heanvily rated industry probably in the world, thiings go askew when banking commiittees and presidents get "high minded" ideas about "equality". this is the genesis of he cra. frank, dodd, later clinton were the first step in that process that you rightfully object to.
give your speech to all the democrat governors that make these casinos possible. you can still move to places that are just as backward and primitive...no reason to stay in the country coirruootubg your values.
i,m not sure what you're referring to but it would appear as if you are being condescending, if this is so, and you are being arrogant enough to be so dismissive then, fuck off.
i usually wouldnt say such a thing, but if you are being so dismisive to give me the verbal shoo shoo oof the hand then fuck off is appropriate.
especially considering that you seen to have a degree of respect for keith olberman, whom, incidentally is very abusive towards woman and his employees, i've repeatedly heard.
Not even fifteen years ago I was reading reports of misery, alcoholism, drug use(and dealing)in reservations. Nowadays they have casinos. Great for them. I hope it BEGINS to compensate them for 150 years of misery.
The indians were a "lovely" people. The white colonists who came and took their lands were every bit as "lovely". Stealing a wasteland as big as half of Europe to breed a few cows or get some gold and silver is obscene.
Indians are are just people. No better, no worse than any other race on the planet. Where their trouble was, was in the area of being isolated from the rest of the globe leading them to lack immune exposure to diseases like small pox, tuberculosis, measles and all of the other bio weapons we had and they didn't have access to Asian tech like gun powder. Change those two things and Europe may have reservations full of blue eyed blonds living in misery.
I am being crude and rude but in my opinion they were savages living in a wasteland and they should have been left ALONE. The French in Canada had a few towns and traded in furs. My people set up a few misions. It was the English and later the Americans who insisted on going into howling wildernesses to screw with people perfectly willing to chop you in pieces for bothering them.
And nowadays isn't the west being abandoned? aren't small towns dying out? the farms vanishing?
May I make a suggestion? This isn't a road to serious scholarship on the matter of Native American history or culture, but it will give you a feel for the level of alternate societal developement and pit falls they experienced here in North America. Read the "People of ........" series of books by Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear. They are extremely entertaining and very accurate in the use of known scientific facts where possible. They had issues, they had greatness.
I have to confess, most of what I know about native Americans comes from the History Channel and a very few other sources so it might be interesting.
Heh. One thing the History Channel said that really cracked me up was that about a third of men(boys, actually) abducted by indians(pre 1850s) and half of the women did NOT want to go home. Their life was just as hard and the indians were nicer to each other.
Less technically advanced in some ways, but culturally developed as well as anything Caucasian. Like I said, to really get a feel for the rich tapestry of their world, read that series. Funny thing, you'll think I was being egotistical because the first book in the series is "People of the Wolf".
"Culturally developed." You have GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! Peasants all over Europe lived brutish lives in miserable villages with no break from their labors other than going to church to listen to mass in a different lenguage(Latin). The indians were far better fed, a hundred times freer and their culture was a lot more interesting.
My point exactly. But they too had cycles and bad spells. Look into the mound building societies of the Ohio, or the Anastasie. Some real brutality there. Sometimes their farming practices led to ecological disasters. But at other times, they were the epitome of atunement and enlightenment. The sad thing is, everyone just thinks of them as war paint wearing savages swooping in on wagon trains and taking scalps. Was every European a viking? A Nazi? Or a Druid?
I AM an European, a Spaniard. My people committed all kinds of attrocities in the Americas. And everybody else was even WORSE. Except the French. They didn't come over much.
correct . the vast majority were not "exterminated" they dies from sickness. which isn't really any better for the indian, but it does exxonerate the pale face from a degree of malice that has been attributed in the past.
Not really. There are records of early settlers deliberately giving the Natives blankets they knew were from deceased victims of virulent diseases and they knew the Natives were terribly susceptible to these illnesses. No one covered themselves in glory back then.
because there were instances of colonost aggression doesn't negate the evidence of a dissproportanate amount of the death came from disease. you also must be aware that the indians slaughtered the first europeans. t
Actually, the first contact with the Columbus expedition was with the natives in the Caribbean. These people were like 1960's grade real life Hippy's, peace love and lots of sex. Of course Columbus enslaved them LOL. They did have the last laugh in the form of introducing V D into Europe.
As to the meeting of continental Natives with colonists, one must take into account the predecessors of the colonists...the Vikings. Those boys were aggression incarnate! They may have left *cont*
a really nervous attitude with the locals concerning white skinned folks showing up in boats. The Vikings sure left a lot of their fellow Europeans skittish as hell. One must tip ones hat to the Vikings, they were far more than a bunch of drunken beserkers in long boats, they performed feats of navigation that were light years beyond what their counter parts in more "civilized" parts dreamed of doing. But, in war and plundering, they truly were demons, that memory would linger a long time.
I happen to be Native American and I have ran into several people mostly republicans who have this racist point of view. I find it highly offensive and disgusting. I know I should not say this but right now I would love nothing more than to watch someone slit his throat.
Limbaugh is fodder for haters and fools. He speaks to those who don't read newspapers and have a fascist scripted view of history. He is living evidence that education in the U.S. has fallen to an extremely dangerous and moronic level. Limbaugh is an embarrassment and insult to anyone with a brain
Only in a contained controlled environment with great levels of physical safe guards and a full coven of skilled witches familiar with the control and dismissal of high level demons and a cadre of ordained priests experienced in exorcisms. Trust me, when that sack of putrescent evil is popped, it won't be easy to contain and dispose of it all.
I know what I think when I hear them say it... and it is not pretty at all. You are black so I am sure you are quite familiar with the thoughts that we all keep quiet about because we do not want to offend anyone else and we do not want to be what people like Rush Limbaugh are... We just take the higher ground.
you do not take higher ground. you can claim it, but it's not yours. i'm not saying this to make you feel bad or hurt your feelings i'm trying to tell you that, though you may not be, you sound delusional. clinically delusional. not because of your politics. not beacause of limbaugh. but because of your failure to recognize a dormant sadism. i wont say anything else. good luck.
Don't try and project your personal problems onto me. I have seen your comments on several threads and you are nuttier than a gosh dang fruitcake sweetheart.
i am not projecting, this has nothing to do with me. if you wish to make it so, then we can do that, perhaps. this isn't personal.
you are articulate, sharp and from what i can tell, quite adorable, but you said that you would like to "watch someone slit his throat" shortly after which you suggested that you were on higher ground.
if i hear anyone talk about slicing throats i am alarmed
if i hear a pretty girl say it, i'm really fucking alarmed
You must have missed the part where I said that I should not let folks like Rush get the best of me.. and that usually I take the higher ground however even I have my breaking point... most human beings do.
The fact that I am Native American may have a little something to do with it. It was not very long ago that my very own ancestors were involved in Wounded Knee. I just said outloud what almost every Native American thinks initially when they hear crap like that. If you don't like to bad. Your joke on the other hand was funny.... lol
i too am the native of america grandmother of great, she was "princess" of tribe we are of the potowatamee tribe harm we bring to no one the earth l we flower we plant we seed we nurture we harvest how your call agriclulture that's my indian language. i really am direct descedent. both great grandparents 100% potawatammee. that's what makes the blond hair, blue eyes and inability to grow a decent fern all that more disconcerting
Ogallala Sioux here,, out of Pine Ridge SD aka the badlands. My grandparents were born and raised on the rez . I was not born on the rez but I grew up there off and on as a child. I am a discendent of Crazy Horse. I also am not very hairy.. and my skin is lighter than that of my siblings.. I have heard he had light skin so I figure that is where I got mine. My boys on the other hand look even more native than I do... and their father is irish... LOL
i cannot believe you just said that. i'm not joking, i'm not provoking. i am telling you that as a sane person that disagrees with you, but has admired your tenacity and grasp of issues from a far, that i'm speechless. do you know how vicious and sadistic your coment sounds?
you think limbaugh is a racist, therefore you you want HIS THROAT SLIT.
THIS IS THE HIGHER GROUND, you claim. ARBITRARY THROAT SLITTING IS HIGHER GROUND?! again, i'm not calling you names or "hating"i'm just...wow.
This guy has a shit load of balls say half the shit he says. But there are plenty of people that worship his knuckle dragging mouth breathing rants.What are they called dickheads o my bad i meant dido heads.
I was being all phonetic in my sarcasm. Allow me to translate.
"Liberal media is picking on us real Americans." Isn't this what the Reich wing always claims? I keep looking for this so called liberal media, but all I have ever found is middling right to extreme right bias in American media. But doesn't this make very logical sense? The media is owned by corporations, the corporations are to a man, right wing, ergo, the message will always be slanted right, either sharply or not.
reich wing would be a nice a pun if it had an ounce of of validity. the nazi party were socialist. hitler installed "universal" care, controlled the banks, the auto manufacturers and worked in the name of ein volk. the people. that is the description of only one major u.s party. what party. democrat? correct, democrat.
i'm not comparing the two, you are. the nazi comparisons are irresponsible and stupid, but you are making the reference.
I didn't start this pissing contest. Obama posters with him as Hitler did. And You are trying to foist a fallacy due to a phonetic similarity. They may have called themselves the National Socialists, but they were the furthest thing from socialists. They were Fascists pure and simple. Hitler was all about select groups being better than all others and was hand in glove with the corporatists, why do you think he allowed Switzerland to sit there unmolested? Because they were neutral? HAH!
not being a wise ass, it's great. you clearly stated your opinion, backed it with facts. facts of the fairly esoteric variety. from beginning to end you are cool and logical. professorial. then HA!
took the edge for me.
how are you?
theMETALDOVE is my given name, but i usually go by bill
You may be on the other side of the political fence, but you come to the discussion with honesty and leave the vitriol behind so I would be a crud if I didn't treat with you in the same manner. I wish everyone would dial back the flames and dial up the attempt to persuade and understand. We are all Americans after all. We sink or swim as a nation together. The name calling gets us no where. I didn't like the way Bush supporters called me a traiter when I questioned his decisions *cont*
so I would be a hypocrite to do the same to someone who isn't just flame throwing. I have always sought understanding and accomodation with folks from the right and I am in real life, very good friends with quite a few, the business community does trend right LOL.
That being said, I will NOT tolerate the low tactics of calling our president a Kenyan, a Muslim, a Fascist or a Nazi. He is an American Democrat who is just a bit right of center...which makes him a liberal these days ;-)
i ran out of vitriol a few years back. i might get some in the future, but i thought i would try the "communication paradigm". despite the distinct liberal flavor of that concept, you never know.
seriously though...yes, we are all americans. nothing is more disgraceful then hearing debates on the policies of our very existence reduced to a game.
the fact that he "gets away" with free speech is fucking amazing. that a person gets away with telling a joke that is a bit mean spirited is fucking amazing?
what should happen to rush for saying this?
were you outraged when olbermann on a few occasions joked about cheney having a stroke or most amazingly, and i'm serious, he "joked" about a failed assaasination attempt and how unfortunate that cheney could not be where the bomb was.
What, like the joke Rush told about wanting Obama to fail? He back-peddled on this really quick. So, he says some fucked up shit and then can brush it aside by saying (or defenders saying) he was joking?!?! Bulshit.
Get away with it means he has so many viewers that dismiss this and other racist statements. People that listen to a racist condone racism. This is also bullshit.
Who you like and dislike is your own business... honestly it makes no difference to me. I honestly don't watch much TV. I catch videos from a wide variety of sources here on youtube. I spend a lot of time listening to the radio and reading my local newspaper. I think I am pretty well rounded media wise.
last time i moved i gave my tv away and it is the best thing i've ever done...
that's really a sad statement isn't it?
my life is so empty, vapid, void, vacuous that as empty a gesture as giving up television is when you have a mac soddered to your fingertips, that might be the best that i can do right now.
no its not....i gotta n strip last night. lunch time
I have a tv.. it just isn't ever on.. in fact more than anything it takes up space. I have thought about giving it away but every once in a while I like to rent a movie plus I use it for my work out videos so for now it still serves a purpose. :)
i might label for reference, but not on a personal level.
without gratuitous politics, insults, or pie in the sky concepts--and i ask as a person, not as a conservative, or a republican....let me try this
can you tell me why i should want a govt healthcare plan and assuage my belief that like any other fed program this will cost infinetly more then projections and will still fall far short of its goals in the end?
The current system can not sustain itself much longer. They have known this for 60 years and have been trying to fix it. The longer they put it off the more expensive it becomes. The public option is like any other insurance company and for the most part it will be sustained by the premiums people pay. The fact that people think it is free is a misconception. For lower income people the cost will be based on income... but most people who would get free care are already doing so.
To not attempt needed change simply because of past failures is cowardice. We must grow or we will be left behind. I am sure it probably will not be perfect... but if it isn't we can always tweek it and ammend it until it is.
sorry about that. i'm not trying to lure you into a fight. i want to understand this position. but it couldn''t make less sense to me then if it were written in chinese.
No I mean the entire system. Private insurance premiums keep going up while wages stay the same. They decide who lives and dies. Health reform is definitely going to happen. If they do not include the public option in the plan we are all SCREWED. Most of the people I know without health insurance have trouble paying their car insurance. They can not handle the added expense of being required to have health insurance at the current rates. Kids in college don't have money for that.
The Public option will be less expensive because it will not have a huge overhead. Therefore people will be able to afford it. This way they are contributing to their own medical bills... where as currently we the tax payers pick up the whole tab and then some.
I don't think Obama has any intention of ramming it through as of yet... I do however think he has to say things like that in order to light a fire under peoples asses. Besides that it is hardly being rammed through.. we have been working on this problem for 60 fricken years.. That is long time by anyones standards. He did not slander all doctors he said some and some do in fact think of profits before patients. That threat of prison thing is BS and won't happen.. not Obama's idea btw.
sufffice to say, you are well rounded. i was recently accused of being a "trojan horse" for the RNC. it never occired to me that anyobe was incognito.
in walks you.
i decided you were very smart, not as a whip, but smart, which led me to conclude that you must be a republican. that allusion you had to know lasted only a 2 seconds, maybe 3.
Actually if you read my nick name it is a play in words. I find it very interesting that I am so often accused of working for the government. LMFAO at all your spelling errors and then revealing you are Dan Quayle. In reality I am just an ordinary citizen who happens to be very passionate about the health care issue. When I decide to back something up I go all in and give 110% that is just the way I do things. Some love it.. others hate it.. It makes no difference to me.
well of course i knew it was a play on words. i must admitt though that i initially thought it was whip as is in the whip in congress. shows you where my head is. i apologize for all the errors. my eyes are of a somewhat limited use.
they're crucial for my work so i go no glasses, no straining when they're not earning money or trying to earn money.
while i'm here and as a delight as you are on a personal level, may i pick your liberal brain for a moment? cont.
First of all.. I am not a huge fan of lables so you should drop the whole liberal thing. I am in no way ashamed of having some liberal views but there is much more to me than meets the eye. On other issues I may not be so liberal.
I understand.. I didn't mean to come off as defensive... It's just a pet peeve of mine. I am well aware of our differences as I have seen your comments several times.
Better to have your enemies inside your test pissing out... than inside your tent pissing in. :)
sadly, i think i need to work now. it's almost 12. last week i put off wed til thursday. i stlll haven't found a place to put off friday or monday and now its tuesday. hmm, between healthcare and hiking work is very inconveinant. at your leisure, have i really said loopy crazy insane things as you suggested yesterday? my therapist would like to know.
I don't know... LOL Do you still think I am clinically delusional? I have to go meet with a group of scholarship representatives this afternoon... so I have to start getting ready. For the record your concerns seem a bit more valid than most. If thoes opposed took a similar approach then perhaps there would be more discussion and less senseless arguing.
As you said "when olbermann on a few occasions joked about " Hmmmm, "on a few occasions" and "joked about" seem to say it all. Rush doesn't "joke", he advocates and it isn't "on a few occasions", it is a constant drum beat aimed at fueling the passions of disgruntled racists, homophobes and all of the other disaffected fringe elements he can lay aural hands upon.
Oh, I reaaally hate this guy now! Millions of Native Americans died at the hands of white Europeans but it's all okay now, because their descendants have casinos? ASSHOLE!!!!!

Only in a contained controlled environment with great levels of physical safe guards and a full coven of skilled witches familiar with the control and dismissal of high level demons and a cadre of ordained priests experienced in exorcisms. Trust me, when that sack of putrescent evil is popped, it won't be easy to contain and dispose of it all.

You know, when I hear these nutwads talk about "Taking back our country", I wonder what the Native Americans are thinking.
Smart, thanks for directing us to these videos.

I know what I think when I hear them say it... and it is not pretty at all. You are black so I am sure you are quite familiar with the thoughts that we all keep quiet about because we do not want to offend anyone else and we do not want to be what people like Rush Limbaugh are... We just take the higher ground.

Always take the higher ground. If it floods, you stay dry, if they attack, you have gravity as your ally ;-)
Plutonwolf 2 years ago 2
Exactly! :)
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
you do not take higher ground. you can claim it, but it's not yours. i'm not saying this to make you feel bad or hurt your feelings i'm trying to tell you that, though you may not be, you sound delusional. clinically delusional. not because of your politics. not beacause of limbaugh. but because of your failure to recognize a dormant sadism. i wont say anything else. good luck.

Don't try and project your personal problems onto me. I have seen your comments on several threads and you are nuttier than a gosh dang fruitcake sweetheart.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
i am not projecting, this has nothing to do with me. if you wish to make it so, then we can do that, perhaps. this isn't personal.
you are articulate, sharp and from what i can tell, quite adorable, but you said that you would like to "watch someone slit his throat" shortly after which you suggested that you were on higher ground.
if i hear anyone talk about slicing throats i am alarmed
if i hear a pretty girl say it, i'm really fucking alarmed
how should i react?
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
You must have missed the part where I said that I should not let folks like Rush get the best of me.. and that usually I take the higher ground however even I have my breaking point... most human beings do.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
you're presumably not a violent person
nothing in anything you've ever written portrays a hint of violence
indignation, yes. viiolence, no.
then comes the throat cutting
again,, i'm not in dange and i'm not offended
my thinking is, simply put "why would that sweet girl say THAT"
maybe "i'd like to punch him in his fat rich head"
or "i hope he chokes on that diet of his, the fat fuck"
throat slicing is a cut above get it? it's a joke... take care and give em hell
not a joke

The fact that I am Native American may have a little something to do with it. It was not very long ago that my very own ancestors were involved in Wounded Knee. I just said outloud what almost every Native American thinks initially when they hear crap like that. If you don't like to bad. Your joke on the other hand was funny.... lol

Ogallala Sioux here,, out of Pine Ridge SD aka the badlands. My grandparents were born and raised on the rez . I was not born on the rez but I grew up there off and on as a child. I am a discendent of Crazy Horse. I also am not very hairy.. and my skin is lighter than that of my siblings.. I have heard he had light skin so I figure that is where I got mine. My boys on the other hand look even more native than I do... and their father is irish... LOL

you think limbaugh is a racist, therefore you you want HIS THROAT SLIT.
THIS IS THE HIGHER GROUND, you claim. ARBITRARY THROAT SLITTING IS HIGHER GROUND?! again, i'm not calling you names or "hating"i'm just...wow.

Plutonwolf 2 years ago 2
What?
7jerryv7 2 years ago
I was being all phonetic in my sarcasm. Allow me to translate.
"Liberal media is picking on us real Americans." Isn't this what the Reich wing always claims? I keep looking for this so called liberal media, but all I have ever found is middling right to extreme right bias in American media. But doesn't this make very logical sense? The media is owned by corporations, the corporations are to a man, right wing, ergo, the message will always be slanted right, either sharply or not.
Plutonwolf 2 years ago 3
True. Corporations that own the press act as filters. The advertising is the content and the news is the fluff.
Never let the fluff get in the way of your real content.
7jerryv7 2 years ago 3
reich wing would be a nice a pun if it had an ounce of of validity. the nazi party were socialist. hitler installed "universal" care, controlled the banks, the auto manufacturers and worked in the name of ein volk. the people. that is the description of only one major u.s party. what party. democrat? correct, democrat.
i'm not comparing the two, you are. the nazi comparisons are irresponsible and stupid, but you are making the reference.
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
I didn't start this pissing contest. Obama posters with him as Hitler did. And You are trying to foist a fallacy due to a phonetic similarity. They may have called themselves the National Socialists, but they were the furthest thing from socialists. They were Fascists pure and simple. Hitler was all about select groups being better than all others and was hand in glove with the corporatists, why do you think he allowed Switzerland to sit there unmolested? Because they were neutral? HAH!

i like the "hah!" at the end.
not being a wise ass, it's great. you clearly stated your opinion, backed it with facts. facts of the fairly esoteric variety. from beginning to end you are cool and logical. professorial. then HA!

You may be on the other side of the political fence, but you come to the discussion with honesty and leave the vitriol behind so I would be a crud if I didn't treat with you in the same manner. I wish everyone would dial back the flames and dial up the attempt to persuade and understand. We are all Americans after all. We sink or swim as a nation together. The name calling gets us no where. I didn't like the way Bush supporters called me a traiter when I questioned his decisions *cont*
Plutonwolf 2 years ago
so I would be a hypocrite to do the same to someone who isn't just flame throwing. I have always sought understanding and accomodation with folks from the right and I am in real life, very good friends with quite a few, the business community does trend right LOL.
That being said, I will NOT tolerate the low tactics of calling our president a Kenyan, a Muslim, a Fascist or a Nazi. He is an American Democrat who is just a bit right of center...which makes him a liberal these days ;-)
Plutonwolf 2 years ago
i ran out of vitriol a few years back. i might get some in the future, but i thought i would try the "communication paradigm". despite the distinct liberal flavor of that concept, you never know.
seriously though...yes, we are all americans. nothing is more disgraceful then hearing debates on the policies of our very existence reduced to a game.
we won you suck asshole
that's what i originally wrote to you.
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
the fact that he "gets away" with free speech is fucking amazing. that a person gets away with telling a joke that is a bit mean spirited is fucking amazing?
what should happen to rush for saying this?
were you outraged when olbermann on a few occasions joked about cheney having a stroke or most amazingly, and i'm serious, he "joked" about a failed assaasination attempt and how unfortunate that cheney could not be where the bomb was.
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
Focus on Rush.
What, like the joke Rush told about wanting Obama to fail? He back-peddled on this really quick. So, he says some fucked up shit and then can brush it aside by saying (or defenders saying) he was joking?!?! Bulshit.
Get away with it means he has so many viewers that dismiss this and other racist statements. People that listen to a racist condone racism. This is also bullshit.
Listening to Rush is bullshit.
7jerryv7 2 years ago
suffice to say, i probably detest olberman as much as you do rush.
i'm not a regular viewer but when i have watched, he is clearly a passionate guy, and as is such, acts on passion. passion is seldom responsible.
this compels him to say and state things that to be viewed objectively one would have to, to be kind, put them under the "B.S." category.
so i do not watch the show and am not concerned with what he says or does from day to day.
his audience likes the show.
and i am not his audience.

Who you like and dislike is your own business... honestly it makes no difference to me. I honestly don't watch much TV. I catch videos from a wide variety of sources here on youtube. I spend a lot of time listening to the radio and reading my local newspaper. I think I am pretty well rounded media wise.

last time i moved i gave my tv away and it is the best thing i've ever done...
that's really a sad statement isn't it?
my life is so empty, vapid, void, vacuous that as empty a gesture as giving up television is when you have a mac soddered to your fingertips, that might be the best that i can do right now.
no its not....i gotta n strip last night. lunch time
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
I have a tv.. it just isn't ever on.. in fact more than anything it takes up space. I have thought about giving it away but every once in a while I like to rent a movie plus I use it for my work out videos so for now it still serves a purpose. :)

i might label for reference, but not on a personal level.
without gratuitous politics, insults, or pie in the sky concepts--and i ask as a person, not as a conservative, or a republican....let me try this
can you tell me why i should want a govt healthcare plan and assuage my belief that like any other fed program this will cost infinetly more then projections and will still fall far short of its goals in the end?
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
The current system can not sustain itself much longer. They have known this for 60 years and have been trying to fix it. The longer they put it off the more expensive it becomes. The public option is like any other insurance company and for the most part it will be sustained by the premiums people pay. The fact that people think it is free is a misconception. For lower income people the cost will be based on income... but most people who would get free care are already doing so.

To not attempt needed change simply because of past failures is cowardice. We must grow or we will be left behind. I am sure it probably will not be perfect... but if it isn't we can always tweek it and ammend it until it is.

sorry about that. i'm not trying to lure you into a fight. i want to understand this position. but it couldn''t make less sense to me then if it were written in chinese.
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
by current system you mean social security and medicare?
yes, change is fine and there are many things that could be improved upon but as a society the change must be prudent and not acted on as a mantra.
you are remarkably sensible and open
but obamas desire to ram this through in
addition to all the duplicity and politics is
nauseating
slandering doctors , villifying ins. companies
all for legislation that they wont have a thing to do with
and now want to compel by threat of prison!
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
No I mean the entire system. Private insurance premiums keep going up while wages stay the same. They decide who lives and dies. Health reform is definitely going to happen. If they do not include the public option in the plan we are all SCREWED. Most of the people I know without health insurance have trouble paying their car insurance. They can not handle the added expense of being required to have health insurance at the current rates. Kids in college don't have money for that.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
The Public option will be less expensive because it will not have a huge overhead. Therefore people will be able to afford it. This way they are contributing to their own medical bills... where as currently we the tax payers pick up the whole tab and then some.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
I don't think Obama has any intention of ramming it through as of yet... I do however think he has to say things like that in order to light a fire under peoples asses. Besides that it is hardly being rammed through.. we have been working on this problem for 60 fricken years.. That is long time by anyones standards. He did not slander all doctors he said some and some do in fact think of profits before patients. That threat of prison thing is BS and won't happen.. not Obama's idea btw.

sufffice to say, you are well rounded. i was recently accused of being a "trojan horse" for the RNC. it never occired to me that anyobe was incognito.
in walks you.
i decided you were very smart, not as a whip, but smart, which led me to conclude that you must be a republican. that allusion you had to know lasted only a 2 seconds, maybe 3.
then i was convinced you were axel rod.
now i know you are to kind to be a
greasy used politician salesman
which is a shamem because i'm dan quayle
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
Actually if you read my nick name it is a play in words. I find it very interesting that I am so often accused of working for the government. LMFAO at all your spelling errors and then revealing you are Dan Quayle. In reality I am just an ordinary citizen who happens to be very passionate about the health care issue. When I decide to back something up I go all in and give 110% that is just the way I do things. Some love it.. others hate it.. It makes no difference to me.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
well of course i knew it was a play on words. i must admitt though that i initially thought it was whip as is in the whip in congress. shows you where my head is. i apologize for all the errors. my eyes are of a somewhat limited use.
they're crucial for my work so i go no glasses, no straining when they're not earning money or trying to earn money.
while i'm here and as a delight as you are on a personal level, may i pick your liberal brain for a moment? cont.
theMETALDOVE 2 years ago
First of all.. I am not a huge fan of lables so you should drop the whole liberal thing. I am in no way ashamed of having some liberal views but there is much more to me than meets the eye. On other issues I may not be so liberal.

I don't know... LOL Do you still think I am clinically delusional? I have to go meet with a group of scholarship representatives this afternoon... so I have to start getting ready. For the record your concerns seem a bit more valid than most. If thoes opposed took a similar approach then perhaps there would be more discussion and less senseless arguing.
Smartassawhip 2 years ago
As you said "when olbermann on a few occasions joked about " Hmmmm, "on a few occasions" and "joked about" seem to say it all. Rush doesn't "joke", he advocates and it isn't "on a few occasions", it is a constant drum beat aimed at fueling the passions of disgruntled racists, homophobes and all of the other disaffected fringe elements he can lay aural hands upon.
