Needing to move

There are times that we come to ourselves and become change agents. There are times when we realize the need to move on, out up, or just leave. These are hard decisions to make and put in to action. The reason is we are resistant to difference:we love the sameness and security it gives.

In a book called "Who ate my cheese?" the author weaves a tale about attitudes and how they affect us. What we are prone to do and the out come of action realization: action no action, and action reactionary action. These types of attitudes are the reason our Nation is stuck on stupid. Recent events show that people want health care but the insurance company does not. Forget the attack ads on television just look at the deductible you pay, the premieums you struggle to deal with (they are automatically withdrawn from paychecks so you will pay them), yet time after time people look at the wrong things. We need to move. There is a need to stop the hem and haw personality of the little people that unrealistic sense of entitlement: repalce my cheese...NOW. The cheese is gone period and it is not coming back.



The persons who need help the most and who get the benefit of this care are themselves seniors. I am a amazed, they harp, lie, shout at, disrupt and make guttural sounds all in the affect to keep information from being heard. Media shows on cable actually put up with this madness filling the airwaves with the vitriol form deranged individuals, then when they are accurately called fascist, un American, and wrong, the reaction is to say the persons who call them that are hate filled HUH!!????? Case in point, Rep Barney Frank had a mad women ask an insane (literally) question about the "T-4 program" alluding to the extermination of the infirm. This to a Jew whose ancestors lived through the Holocaust (which she probably denies). When the answer given is too acerbic people took her side when in the meeting the crowd was clearly, CLEARLY dismayed at the question. What is wrong here? Have we as a people finally lost our collective sense of decency or has the slope become to slippery to handle? This is a question we must solve before there can be any movement to a solution. The stakes are way to high the cost to expensive if we do nothing. There is already a move from the insurance companies to reduce the co pay, to 65 %, while the deductible either goes up or remains the same. These are the issues we as Americans must face.

To be honest, I have some issues with the proposal: namely I have not seen it yet!! Is it still in committee yes it is. And to be sure, I have some concerns as all of us do: where will we get the funds; are we really looking at the numbers in realistic terms or is this another "rosy scenario" (you remember Rosy scenario from the Reagen years, the deficits that grew as we built bombs, planes and weapons of mass destruction to fight communism.)n that masks the real numbers that will scare everybody. Personally I do not blame the people that are thoughtful and say do we really need this? It is responsible to do so. I am not comfortable yet to agree with President Obama that to do nothing is unhealthy, saying that the cost to the economy is dangerously high. Prove it... all of you prove the point then all of us will follow the decision.

This is the author's point in "Who moved my cheese". That the cheeses has gone and we must be able to move to new places where the cheese is. To be innovative and mobile in mind to envision new ways of providing for all persons. If we can keep the present insurance then do so. If you have no insurance because it is not affordable then we as a society must make a way to provide options. To have 46 million, 20 million 10 million or 200,ooo uninsured it way to many.

We need to move and do it now, we need to make common cause and do it now. the war no longer is with weapons, it is with dollars, yen , euros, pesos, and who ever controls the markets controls the economy of others. Tie your shoes and put them around your neck the journey started already. Later
