Health Care is the parable of the Good Samaritan

Health Care is the parable of the Good Samaritan, and should be a human right to all (primarily) Christian Nations and People. How can you in good faith, be against it (Luke 10:30-37)?

Egads, he talking socialism. No, I'm not! You don't have a right to happiness, you only have the RIGHT TO THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! Bad news; You might not ever get there and be happy, but you have the right to dream the dream, and try and make it happen. Good Health is a huge part of happiness, and it's pursuit. And we as a civilized nation under law, should recognise that as a HUMAN RIGHT!

A conservative friend of mine, just mentioned something about; HOW are you going to restrict Health Reform to just citizens of the United States, and bar all the illegals? And the second he said that, I realized myself that it's immoral NOT to extend such a right to all people, able to get here! That's right, totally and completely immoral, to even think such a thing. Sorry, Mr Lue Dobbs! And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I would rather have a border totally lined with Hospitals and Clinics, than with fences.

Why, because those are OUR JOBS, that can't be taken away! Even if you are not a doctor or nurse, there are other support businesses from lodging to administration. But, ABSOLUTELY NO HOSPITAL OR CLINIC SHOULD EVER BE FORCED TO TREAT ANYBODY, EVER, as long as there are public alternatives in the community. This is where the Capitalist in me comes out. I should be able to accept and reject any client, for any reason I want, as long as there is someone else around who can do the same job. Which means NOT ALL Health Clinics and Hospitals have to be open to the general public- as long as there is at least one that is within a community that is open to the public.

Health Care has historically been recession proof. And as long as the population grows, and grows older, there will be infinitely growing need for more clinics and hospitals. Which means, we can capitalize on our own reputation as world leaders in quality of life issues, and fairness. Which should cause growth and naturally expand out tax base from profits, as well as create plenty of good careers. Health Care can be an even bigger keystone industry for us, when it covers all.

We are not talking about Government practising medicine, and manufacturing medications, etc. We are just talking about public access to insurance, and price negotiations as a form of price control. The surge in coverage is actually the ability for every one on every level to make EVEN MORE MONEY than ever before. So who's against making money, and creating jobs?

Which is just another way of saying, nobody will ever go broke banking on health care, any more than a tither's church will ever go broke. And we as well, can fulfill out commitment to our moral center, and be the Good Samaritan to the world, and the source nation to which the whole world is blessed.

I also like to remind my Faith-Based Friends, that God in every religion, is a socialist dictator, and not a capitalist- sorry! Why do you think it is his prerogative to ignore your wishes and prayers and offerings? Why do you think you bow and praise and pray to him, in the first place?

Polarized

I have one question to all politically minded people: When does your hardened hatred turn to being your own cancer (metaphorically)? You are so obsessed with YOUR party, that we can have no dialogue of any issue at all, without spitting hate words at leadership people you don't even really know? Where does that go? How is that productive? Wait for your orders, and do the bidding of your masters and spin doctors? Do you ever think for yourselves, because you don't seem to be able to express it? Have a single thought that wasn't placed there by someone else?

This piece is a public letter about my disappointment. It's not intended to offend anyone. It's reflective. Some of you will oddly even find glee in my words. I'm just feeling a bit melancholy tonight, about my loss of friends and family to a few idiots, who are just gaming them. They don't love them, yet they demand some strange loyalty from them? It's an obsession like a cult.

Some of you don't seem to understand that "cult" is not the short form of "occult". And it's not- go look them up! Devotion to a master, is frequently cult like behaviour is all- particularly when it pulls you away from family and friends.

I have and had health insurance, and I still went bankrupt on medical bills. And someone just told me, there was no need at all for reform, it's just bullshit. The system is perfect. There is no question mark on that on purpose. I know they don't know just how painful bankruptcy is.

Infant Mortality Somehow this doesn't embarrass you- it's just bullshit?

Tort reform passed making harder for YOU to sue your doctor, or insurance company. "Show of hands of how many of you saw a drop in your insurance because of it?"; was recently asked at a town hall meeting, which nobody raised their hands on.

Medical expenses out pace EVERYTHING in growth, but there's no problem?

Your health insurance company should be suffering along with the rest of the economy, you would think? Your doctor is! Maybe you should check your insurance companies profits for the last year?

A little scepticism is healthy. Cynicism of EVERYTHING is a thing called paranoia, and it is not healthy at all! Honestly, do you ever disagree with your party? Are you really living in the Magic Kingdom, where it's sunshine and lollipops all the time? Really? While stewing in hatred in particular for villains?

What are you teaching your children with your lack of respect for all others, and the name calling? You want somebody to talk about you that way?

I give up, enjoy your perfect world. Really!

Nobody is talking about Mental Health Reform, and I think we need that even more?

Health crisis

The only one's going to loose from Health Care Reform, are health insurance companies, who currently make all the rules as they go along. But they aren't even going too loose much! Look, they give you a contract that comes in a book thick enough to be a phone book, that a Supreme Court Justice can't figure out. Not even doctors like insurance companies: Even my Republican Cardiologist tells me that! So why are you on THEIR SIDE, again?

Living Wills are to enforce your wishes about care when you can't speak for yourself. That's not a death warrant, you can make it clear, you want heroic steps taken to preserve your life, if you wish! It makes it clear, exactly what your wishes are about life, and now how is that a bad thing? Not your family's wishes, or your spouse, your wishes about care, treatment, and even death. They are very complex documents to setup, and some one wanted to help you do it, by having the government pay for the attorney. It's not to make you decide how to die, because your somehow worthless! And that's why the "death panel" remark pisses me off, it's not just spin. It's the kind of sellout I expect from you know who, and her whoring for Wall Street.

When it comes to health care reform, I haven't got a lot of faith in our government. They are still owned by Wall Street, and don't kid yourself! Voting Democrat did not change that! Those who are concerned about Government Sponsored Boob Jobs, and Sex Changes, and stuff, are humorous at best. What do you think Government Quality Boobs would look like? Go ahead, write your own punch line, I dare you! You could go in for a sex change and come out an ostrich instead. Come on lets get real, that's what the insurance companies would be competing with, so how do they loose?

What they don't like is the idea of less profit, but the free ride is over!!! They've behaved badly, and now they're going to have to pay a price. Which with this Congress means all of a slap on the wrist and promise not to do it any more, with your fingers crossed behind your back.

First Single Payer fell- not an option. Now the Public Option might fall. I'm already MRMIP (it's Government Supplemented by California), and that's just more of the same old shit, that is intended to barely keep you alive! Now, you can get insurance that covers you for million dollars lifetime, but I can't. I'm sick, so I can only get $100k- LIFETIME, which isn't much! A driver runs me over at the post office and it's $600k, but I can't insure myself for that at all? My cancer can wipe out what I've got in a year, so I need a safety net!

Which means with your opposition and shouting, you've signing my death warrant. And you wonder why I take it personal? Because your afraid of government boobs, profiteers, Nazis, death panels, DMV lines, and spin and lies!? Bankrupting your insurance company is hilarious (remember what we did for AIG). Unbelievable, if I wasn't such a sceptic to begin with, I'd sure be one now. This is starting to look like the sameo sameo thing, all over again. What a nightmare!

Democrats, hang your heads in shame, you're the same old spineless jelly fish, you've always been. Get back in the water and sting! What change I can believe in? Prove this nasty old sceptic wrong- PLEASE!

Death Squads- how low will they go?

The far right wing doesn't want death of the health care reform, they want the death of the President! Comparing health care to Nazi's is just wrong! Very wrong! There are things that never should be said out loud, much less to the public on radio. You don't yell fire in a crowd, and you don't call Social Moderates Nazis- EVER!

This is always my fight, but you need to make it yours, and shut this shit up! It frequently as not backfires on those who insight it. Glen Beck thinks it's funny to joke about killing Pelosi. That's not even a little bit funny, on any level! The guy wants you to take up arms against your own government, and you don't think he's dangerous? He couldn't be more wrong and stupid at the same time!!!

In California we don't joke about such things, ever! We remember Harvey Milk and George Moscone. You need to do your home work, I'll bet? Particularly with San Fransisco politicans. Wiki them- this is nothing to joke about!

Now Palin has to dig in, telling you that Obama is organizing death squads, to kill old people and her kids! That's not the Public Option or what Living Wills are about- those are words to insight hatred. Not to kill a bill, but to kill people!

No matter the slant of your own politics. A threat, no matter how vealed, must be taken seriously. Words that insight hatred, fuel anger, can not be tolerated at all! That's not debate, that's not the American way, it's anarchy! And loose canons do more damage to their own.

This hate speech can not be tolerated. There are no Nazis, and no death squads in health care reform. You need to speak out, I've already done my part for this debate. But I've never suggested killing an opponent, and never would! Stop the madness- you have a voice, use it!

The party acting just like Nazis is not the Democratic Party, it's the one fanning the flames of hatred and racism. Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh are the big three I never intended to talk about on this blog- but when they're fueling hatred, it can't be avoided. Hate speech is hate speech, it's not entertainment or politics- it's hatred! And it must stop!

"Oops, I didn't mean that!"- is not acceptable in the end, when you did mean it. The careers of coaches have ended over much smaller racist attitudes, so why are these guys exempt? They're dangerous, flash backs to worse times in our history. Guys holding congressmen hanged in effigy is not debate about health care reform! End this, by speaking out, or we'll all regret it, when someone gets hurt- is the sad truth.

There isn't that much difference between Conservatives and Liberals in America. But some people want you to think it's total war- and they've gone too far with Nazi Death Squad claims! Hear my voice if you hear no other; STOP IT!

Update:
Oh, pardon me; Death Panel, that's different then isn't it?

Pizza dough (again)

I got news for Scientology, that empty feeling we all feel is called hunger. Have a pizza!

The difference between Bread, and Pizza Crust, is really moisture control. Breads are drier, and therefore less flexible. Pizza is wet and springy. So how do you convert a good or favourite bread recipe into a pizza recipe? There are couple of tricks to it.

Add more water or milk. It's that simple! But don't add too much. For example even a tablespoon difference can make great pizza crust. If your recipe calls for a 1 1/4 cups of water, you might change that by adding just an ounce more, to be 11 oz (+2tbl) instead of 10 oz. Moisture control is what makes a great loaf bread, a great loaf of bread, but this pizza, it's far more forgiving, and easier to control with higher moisture.

That wet dough is very, very sticky, so use that old trick of putting it down on corn meal, on top of your peal (pizza paddle). I use a wooden peal to drop the pizzas into the oven, and a metal one to take them out. And use a pizza stone for those awesome toasted crusts. It takes 20 minutes for a pizza shop to make a pizza, but it's just 10 minutes in the oven!!! There's your clue not to over cook the thing, they're done in an instant, when it's not frozen. I like mine to bake at 420 for about 12 minutes- reason I like so long? Harder bake on the crust, and less stringy (browned) cheese, 14 minutes and it's burnt pizza, so set that timer!

The type of dough, makes your topping taste different, which I'm sure most of you just filed under 'well duh'. The more whole wheat there is, the sweeter your pizza will taste. The more rye, the more pungent. If you want a crust that is very thin and chewy, you want higher glutton. You want thick, but flaky, you want almost no glutton, so you might want to kneed it by hand.

With a home made pizza like my favourite is rye bread, it's a good idea to increase sour flavours like using sharp cheddar cheese. The more whole wheats, the more mushrooms, is one of my rules.

With pizza, because of all the carbs, it's like sitting down a giant bowl of CANDY for dinner. So, no more than two pieces, no matter how GOOD it tastes!!! You know to use low fat cheeses, still your going to take in a lot of that too with meats and sausages. So always have salad to help push that through you, and curb that appetite some, eat as much salad as you need. Take your Lipitor the day before and after! And the day after eat some oatmeal for breakfast, to help your digestive system push it all through. Oatmeal is a great cleaner for your Colon, it really is.

Uncork the red wine- never the white for pizza! Red Wines contains fat busters, and anti-aging goodies, that allow the French to eat all that real butter! Sorry but red wine is health food, more than most of the crap they say you should eat. But listen to the advice of Pete Townshend: A little is enough! Two slices of pizza, and two glasses of red wine!

There are all the secrets to indulgent and yet healthy living. Sorry Scientology, I don't have that empty feeling inside. But some would say I'm full of shit, too. Which isn't all that far from the truth either, so I eat my oats. If you're feeling empty inside, I still recommend pizza over religion- it costs less.

Now hit those labels on the bottom of this post, and you can read my rye bread pizza recipe, along with this one.

Promo Code 'Economy Stinks'

Recently, doing some online shopping, this was a REAL PROMO CODE I ran into, and I guess it says it all? The economy stinks! And even Barrack Obama was greatly surprised to read that the recession is over, this month- for who?

Barrack:
I don't know whether you've seen the latest cover of Newsweek magazine on the rack at the grocery store, but the cover says, "The Recession is Over." Now, I imagine that you might have found the news a little startling. (Laughter.) I know I did.

Only in Running Springs, the Squirrely Paradise of the world, does the local Tattoo and Tobacconist go out of business one month after going in business.

Only in Running Springs, the Bird Brain capital of the universe, does the local Pawn Shop go out of business 6 months after going in business, in a recession.

I fully admit, that I wasn't unhappy to see either of these go bankrupt. They really don't reflect well upon this sleepy conservative village. And apparently the Tree Huggers agree with me.

Still though, I see yet another new owner of the rib joint that just keeps failing, and failing.

There is a recession on Gambling, Pornography, Beer. Apparently the only thing people really want is a new economy car?!! Guess there tired of being _____ by vices? Come on congress, extend the Cash for Clunkers program.

Why, because I want to save the Earth. So that someday it can cause our mass extinction, just for the amusement of ET, and our surviving robots. That will be so funny!

Hillary is in Africa, so Bill wasted no time in jumping aboard a plane to Asia, to pick up chics! All joking aside here for a minute; Good work, Bill! Real good work! And welcome home Laura Ling, and Euna Lee! What do you mean they brought Bill back with them? What kind of a trade is that? This wasn't a clunkers deal?

August BREAK!

Safe sex, Congressmen!
Please, don't forget your sunscreen or passports, or you wont get back in the country!
See you in the fall?
Why isn't there MTV Congressional August Break House? We know, they know how to party!

Most of them will not be HOME with you, this time. They will be out of the country, so they can distance themselves from the mounds of bullshit they will be throwing at you for the next month, to kill Health Care REFORM. You've never seen mega-neutron-bullshit bombs like this EVER before- get your gas-masks ready. And I'll remind you; your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device. Even the strongest swimmers will find it a challenge to escape this under current.

Congressmen: Please bring extra police to stop all that shouting. It's called disorderly conduct, and trespassing. Quite well established law. Why is this hard to stop, anyway? This nation was founded by thugs. The Republicans and Insurance Industry haven't discovered anything new here. They were against Social Security. They were against Medicare. And being consistent, they are against the Public Option. Just how many times can you be on the wrong side of history? Tells me everything I need to know!

Lewis; If you don't support the Option, retire! I want to see you go against the party on this one. You're man enough. Be on the right side of history, already! And I might even back off?
