    I think our health care system has need of work, but who can we trust? I am a first generation American. I have not had good experiences in the old country in their hispitols. Yes they have very talented doctors that can do amazing things when they have to, but it is no where remotely close to the level of care we get here in the states. Many of us will not realize what we had until it is gone.
    I say do whatever, but do it fairly and honestly, that is where our current and past gov't have failed the people. Madison Avenue got everyone to stop using straights, where do you think your opinions actually come from? We all need to stick together and demand more accountability from our officials or we will all end up "back in the old country" and it will be here and the Lady who wecomed everyone will be saying goodbye instead. I don't think any party that operates with what our taxes are currently paying for, deserve our support.

    GregJDS,
    I get where your coming from, you obviously, like a lot of people, are trying too make sense of and rationalize why bad things happen to good people.
    I to wonder why sometimes. But from my first hand experience I know there are no guarenties in this life, my mother never drank, never smoked, never swore, attended church, did unpaid social work with wayward youth, died of bone cancer at 32. My father has smoked since he was five, drank more alcohol up until he was 30 than most people drink in a lifetime, worked in one of the most dangerous industries on the planet all his working life, (the logging industry) admits he should have been dead 30 times before he was 30, but he,s 80 years old now He says "God looks after drunk,s and fools and I,ve been both"
    Also he is the only person I know who has and is truly living his life by two motto,s "LIVE AND LET LIVE" and "ONE DAY AT A TIME"

    It doesnt really make sense of it by explaining how bad thigns happen to good people, it just says there are no fully good people. Everyone here suffers in some way to whatever degree they have bad karma, and will suffer based on whatever bad karma you create as time goes by.
    God doesnt look after drunks or fools or anyone so far as i know, people either look after themselves or they dont, but god gives best wishes to everyone and hopes they find the correct choices to do things and make things easier on themselves. God cannot force choices, that would make him negative which would go against his positive nature.
    Haveing good karma and skating thorugh life with some drunkenness and foolishness is just the way some people go(I did it for a while), doesnt make it a great situation to be in. Alcohol is disguisting IMHO, and i know becuase I drank my fair share. And nobody wants to be a fool, but whats really foolish is if people dont look around at the world and see different degrees of foolishness in everyone. Neither of these things make your life any easier.

    They say that all laws mimic and mirror in everything all the way down from the spirit world. So karmic law is mirrored in the law of seeds germinating. The action is the seed, and it could take a long time after the action for the long road of the tree growing, and even longer before the fruit appears. So from karmic seed(action) to karmic fruit(result) can be quite a while, sometimes overlapping in lifetimes(reincarnation).
    With this in mind, who knows where your mother was coming from or where your father is going.
    This is a question we should all be asking ourselves, where am I coming from and where am I going.

    With respect,
    Best Regards,
    Greg

    I do not wish to open old wounds and this is a wounded old topic for Americans, but as many of you are my friends and I know many have been mislead about many facts repeatedly surrounding the issue, I thought it would be helpful, might be important to expose some more deliberately misleading disinformation. As the clips in question are from FOX News it should hardly be surprising. (Really, if you ever bother to watch that network you should just stop now, but let that alone.) Please take the time to review the information included in these videos and be better informed. If you must do a short trip through I guess part 2 and part 5 cover the most important ground, but they are all worth your time IMO.

    With all care and concern for your welfare,
