I contacted my Congressman, Dean Heller, regarding the Health Care Reform Legislation I remember explaining that the point of view he was advocating was Pro-infant mortality, Pro-obscene Health Executive Compensation, and Pro-Emergency Room chaos. I received a response that I would love to share with the good reader, along with my rebuttal-
If you are thinking about filing a class action suit, find an attorney who understands that if s/he is unable to negotiate a substantial award for each member of the settlement class, that you will insist that the suit be taken to trial; otherwise, you are merely involving yourself in a lawyerly boondoggle in which the lawyers will use your misery to enrich themselves. If your lawyer is not going to get you and your colleagues substantial awards, at least make sure that s/he does not get any either.

by Darwyn (centrist, October 23, 2009)The Decision
As an elderly, former university professor, I am deeply anguished whenever I come across shameful academic writing. Such writing not only exposes the inability of the writer but it exhibits the extent of decline in American university teaching and is a symptom of a decadent civilization. Institutions that employ these writers have abandoned the classical educational ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty for belief, greed, and exploitation. And not only Americans but the whole world is paying a horrid price for it.
Nobel? That's No Prize
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, October 22, 2009)Excellent journalism was never a priority of Joseph Pulitzer's, and the prizes reflect it. So does the mainstream press which is yellower than ever in both the conventional journalistic sense and the colloquial sense of cowardly. Even worse, however, are the Nobels. They are almost always given to those committed to Western civilization and Capitalism. So now Obama has gotten the prize. Why was it awarded to him? Because he is a protector of the economic status quo and a hegemonist—a true child of a decadent civilization. The deadly arms manufacturer would be highly pleased.

Mortgage Anyone?
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, September 30, 2009)Why are the standard terms for mortgages 15 and 30 years? Could it be because downturns in the American economy have occurred on an average of once every 14.5 years? When a buyer defaults on a loan after paying on it for 14 years, the lender gets the house for free, sells it again, and nets a small fortune or an investment of zero. Wouldn't you like to find a way of doing that?
To date they failing grades on all counts.

Everywhere Arms Races
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, September 12, 2009)Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama claim that both North Korea and Iran must be prevented from developing nuclear capabilities to prevent arms races in North East Asia and the Near East. But the United States of America began the international nuclear arms race more than sixty years ago and has never taken the task of eliminating nuclear weapons seriously. So yes, as ye sow, so shall ye reap! Why should anyone expect otherwise.

Michael Jackson Memorial Day
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 8, 2009)Michael Jackson had no peace in life, and it is unlikely that the media will allow him to rest in peace in death. Hell hath no pain greater than that which can be inflicted by media moguls whose only goal is to turn tragedy into orgies of entertainment. This media now feigns honor, but the authentic honor comes only from his fans who displayed true civility and profound humanity during his memorial service, proving once again that true virtue lies only within the hearts of common people.
Lawmakers Billing Taxpayers
by John Kozy (centrist liberal libertarian, July 5, 2009)The Congress enacts legislation for itself which provides itself with what are essentially employee benefits. So it treats its members as employees of themselves. In doing so, the Congress provides taxpayer subsidized employee benefits to its members that it refuses to provide to the people Congressmen represent.

If private insurance companies had any interest or desire to provide Americans with a high-quality healthcare system, it has had half a century to do it and hasn’t. Private industry has no interest in solving social problems. Never has, never will have. It’s only interest is profit. And profit buys no medicine.
