Thank you.  Will do. Peace.

[Bree1059]

I'm terribly sorry for what you're going through. I pray that they find ways to come up with the funds for individuals who really need it such as your self. God Bless ya hun

[makezmuzic]

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts Bree. I like your profile. Its very positive and is filled with love. I wish you the best, peace.

IMO, those who believes in karma, who believes in "cause and effect" and have an awareness of what this country has done/is doing to people truly believes this.

I think Christians SAY it's the end of days all the time because they are repeating what it says in the Bible.

Do I think they believe it, or is due to the damage we do to each other and the world? No.

If they did they would be on the front lines of the Peace movement, anti oppression movements, abolishing homelessness, poverty.

Ms Lynn, I'm sincerely sorry you are having such troubles & I hate to add to them with bad news, but the money you paid in taxes is all gone. ALL gone the minute you paid it. The government is borrowing upwards of $3billion a day (mainly from China) because they are BROKE. There is a man, a DOCTOR who has been ignored, smeared or ridiculed because he doesn't work for the moneyed interests. This man has the answers you ask for, but he needs help from a lot of us. I'll link you if you're curious.

[mpolzkill]

Thanks, by the way, for linking me to the Elizabeth Cotten video, that is just about my all time favorite song & I didn't know until today that this beautiful woman had been filmed.

[makezmuzic]

Your very welcome. I can't take all the credit. Someone turned me on to it. She is amazing isn't she. A lot of women have never seen a female guitar player of that generation. Even some of the women from that generation.

The historical archives on U Tube is amazing.

Peace, Lynn

[mpolzkill]

Ms Lynn, Speaking of GREAT women instrumentalists, do you know of Mary Lou Williams? I'm not sure if you are into "jazz".

[makezmuzic]

Yes, this admin has done a smashing job of making sure the US public doesn't know that we are broke and indebt to our teeth. We are a financial "time bomb". Our government's greed and spending habits is completely matched by it's citizens greed and spending habits.

The fact that China & wealthy Arabs are buying up the US, that doesn't really phase or surprise me. Everything comes around. Including manifest destiny. We have 400 years of karma getting ready to crap on us.

[mpolzkill]

makezmusic: Yes, nice comment. It looks like some real Jeremiah style stuff is about to hit us. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it seems to me from my hundreds of exchanges, a sort of unscientific personal poll, that black Americans are awake to this reality, & very, very few white Americans are. One friend told me I was wasting my time talking to them, that even Noah had to give up at some point & shut the door. (I'm not a Christian btw, but think the Bible is profound, just the same)

[makezmuzic]

I believe in Karma. Not the "end of days". I believe that Karma can effect any generation of those who perpetrated dirt.

Even descendants & family members, countrymen. No matter the religious beliefs.

Just because all my bad behavior hasn't bit me in the butt, doesn't mean it hasn't effected my loved ones. Who knows what dirt the Hilton family has done in the past to spawn Paris. No telling what spawn will come from the Bush, Cheney, Rice bloodlines in the next 7 generations. lol!

[mpolzkill]

I don't believe in the end of ALL days either, just American ones. Like Roman days. And while I don't believe in the supernatural, I think I DO understand what you are talking about with descendants:

watch?v=8-fEzEG8d54

This, of course is all in the Bible, they weren't dummies, ha ha. And I feel sorry for Paris. In that jail cell, she got a little taste of the American black experience. A lot of us will.)

[mylestics]

What type of disability plan, health insurance, affirmative action plan, equal employment opportunities, housing opportunities, etc., do you have in place for people that have Tourette Syndrome as well as other disabilities? Me & My Tourette's: Motivated By GOD

[makezmuzic]

mylestics, I'm assuming your asking Wedding Angels this question. She might not kniow its here unless you post it as a "reply" to one of her questions so she will get notice that you directed the question to her.

[WeddingAngels]

sry my last mssge was in reply 2 makezmusic's question 4 every1 else reading these posts. In my opinion the UK is bttr run in a Democracy rather than beuracracy like our currnt PM & prev PM. The Conservatives don't sell your country from under u!

[WeddingAngels]

Hi mylestics sorry I didn't know u were asking me, I thought ur question was directed to someone else, but as I am restricted to the amount of characters I ca use here, I will send u a mssg in reply to ur questions. I hope that will then be of assistance.Same as ne1 else if u hve a question 4 me personally I will send u a personal message, THanks

[WeddingAngels]

part 2 of 2 We need another conservative governement and not the idiotic labour that we do have. Another iron ladt would definately whip this country back into shape. And stopping more asylum seekers that is. If the US did decide to start a non profit NHS it would certainly put them ahead in every aspect.I am just so disgusted and disillusioned with our government and my grandfather and his grandfather would be turning in their grave to learn what our government is doing now.

[makezmuzic]

I'm ashamed to say I don't know as much as I should about your Labour Party. In what way is different than the consercative Party?

[WeddingAngels]

Well 2b honest they r all as bad as 1 anthr but we need anthr Maggie Thatcher, I am from that generation & even tho she sold off the mines & othr services, & created our old poll tax, since chngd 2 council tax which is worse, she was a damn good PM. Labour sold the UK down the swanny b4 when they were in pwr in the 70's & that's precisley what they r doing again.They are socialists, with marxists views basically Conservative r the same as the US democrats

[WeddingAngels]

Oh How I wish I could slap Bush so hard to knock him into the 31st century, maybe if somene did that he might wake up and stop seeing those Dollars signs. I really wish I could send you our healthcare, or that u could swap bodies with me ust so you would get the proper medicines ect.. I don't really know what u have 2 go thru 2 get healthcare, but I do know that even tho the US is the richest country in the world, they are last in healthcare and that is just wrong.

[RumbleHD]

You lady is correct on all points. BRAVO!

[makezmuzic]

Thanks RumbleHD.  ^5

[Alex3977]

1. If you cant afford healthcare, can you afford a new webcam cuz your webcam sucks.

2. Are you reading this?

[WeddingAngels]

how can u be so heartless? u need 2 think b4u write! This poor woman needs ur help, she needs support in her plight & u hve the heartless attitude by slagging off a irrelavant problem. U need 2 pray & hope u're not in her position 1 day, or a member of ur family, cos sum things r mre important in life!U cant put a price on health or on a LIFE! I'm just thankful my country isn't so narrow minded and has these basic human rights in place. I hope 4 ur sake u donty need a hospital ne time soon

[makezmuzic]

Thank you Wedding Angels. I know 13 year olds that are bright and mature. I think Alex has a lot of growing up to do.

I checked out your Channel and I love the "FF-Bring me to life" vid. Beautiful! Excellent song. Peace

[WeddingAngels]

How can u be so heartless? This poor woman needs ur support in her plight, and ppl like her. I hope u or a member of ur family doesnt need healthcare ne time soon cos ur attitude stinks! Some things are priceless such as HEALTH & LIFE. U R disgusting being so nasty when this poor woman and ppl like her die daily due to their unfortunate financi circumstances, u shld b ashamed of yrslf. I'm jst thankful my country has these basic human rights in place.

[lekari005]

shut up u dumb shyt

[makezmuzic]

Thanks Lekari, Alex is a very young 13. lol Peace.

[makezmuzic]

interesting priorities Alex. Something tells me you wouldn't "get it" even if I did have an expensive web cam.

LOL! "Am I reading this?"  I think THAT question tells us everything we need to know about you. TMI!!

[SchraderRose]

This is completely ridiculous. A hard working TAX PAYING American should have no problem getting the medical attention they need. Medicare is a joke! PEOPLE - THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF HEALTH CARE HILLARY WANTS MANDATE! How many more horror stories do we need to see in order to understand SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK! As Americans, we MUST work towards helping our brothers and sisters - WE CANNOT RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT TO DO IT!

[WeddingAngels]

I really feel 4 those who really need healthcare, it's just not right, surely it's a basic human right to hve access 2 a free healthcare service, I will pray that ur government comes 2 it's senses & thinks abt the ppl instead of jst MONEY MONEY MONEY! Those profiting from others misery & unfortunate circumstances is jst wrong! I really hpe that something is done & vry soon 4u all b4 it's too late.

[makezmuzic]

Unfortuately, MONEY, is what this country was built on. Manifest Destiny was about acquiring as much as you can - no matter who you have to kill.

[Ricksjames]

Thats so true. The more money u have. The more people u have trying 2 get it from u. Especially if they have something you need or U think u need. Some drugs doctors write 4 have almost worst side effects than what they treat. Some drugs make u feel worst when u stop taking them than u did before u ever started taking them. The only reason some drugs are illegal is because the government can't regulate them good enough to make money off it. Everythings good in moderation. Thats in the bible.

[WeddingAngels]

Hi I think it's really bad that you can't afford the ridiculous costs of healthcare in your country.Here in the UK we complain about our NHS, but at least we don't hve 2 wrry aboutthe costs, tho left 2 sme narrow minded ppl here we wldnt have an NHS service. I think shld hve sumthin like our NHS

[makezmuzic]

You are so right Wedding Angels. The pharmacuticle companies won't let it happen though. In america ppl believe yu can never be to rich or thin, and it's killing us.

[Ricksjames]

I totally agree with u. I use to work at a pharmacy. They don't pay anywhere near what they charge 4 them. I saw people fork over thousands of dollars a day 4 medications they believed they need 2 live. I worked there and still didn't get any breaks on cost.

[makezmuzic]

Sounds like you saw it first hand Rick. I have friends on lung disease internet forums who are paying $1000's to stay alive. People who choose between food & medication every month.

[makezmuzic]

Medicade D has made some drugs unavailable for people on medicade because the drug wasnt made to treat their disease specifically.

Thats a trip, they wouldn't even cut their own staff some slack. Dang.

[Ricksjames]

It's crazy they word it to death with small print. Each one of those different plans or insurance companys have a formulary with list of drugs they approve of. And they expect you to choose from that list and that list only. Even tho new drugs come and go every month. Sometimes there's so many doctors in the area writing for the same drug so much its hard to order the drug at all.

[leonsam04paige07]

NHS thats how it cud be beta

[makezmuzic]

You are so right. And a NHS that isn't for profit.

[WeddingAngels]

Part 1 of 2: Unfortunately that's the way our NHS is headed, the government keeps taking more money from our NHS and putting far too much of our tax money into asylum seekers, war & other frivolous and unneccesary projects.

[makezmuzic]

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I'm very sorry that your Mom is struggling with her health. Not to mention the added stress of dealing with the medical machine. She is very fortunate to have you by her side. That can make all the difference in the world. Take care, Peace. MM

[Ricksjames]

Medicare is so sophisticated today. When they divided it into all these different plans all they did was create more insurance companys and more frustration for the already frustrated ageing american. Bush and republican buddies are 2 blame. Because you better believe one of them if not all of them are getting big bucks in some kind of way.

[SWKShelly]

Don't I know what you are talking about. My mother is on o2 and we are starting to have problems with her medicaid and medicare paying for it. In addition, I am a social worker and I know first hand how difficult it is for people to get help. It is especialy frustrating when someone has worked hard their whole life and they get nothing. Everyone deserves at least basic healthcare. keep up the hard fight!
