California is looking to pass a law allowing the state to regulate and control private citizen's thermostats through radio control. Of course it will only be applicable in emergencies. Once the state is allowed in, what's going to stop them from declaring a permanent state of emergency based on the «Global Warming Crisis»?
My 16 year old daughter came home the other day telling me one of her teachers told the class that GWB was a baby killer. Seriously. I, of course, asked why in the world would he say that about our President, and thought that the teacher was referring to the Iraq war. She told me that it was because Bush vetoed the SCHIP reauthorization and because of that thousands of babies would die from not having insurance. We both chuckled at this because we have had discussions about this liberal wacko teacher before and my daughter and I use his liberal indoctrination attempts as learning opportunities.
Edwards would require that we go to the doctor every year...
«It requires that everybody be covered. It requires that everybody get preventive care,» he told a crowd sitting in lawn chairs in front of the Cedar County Courthouse. «If you are going to be in the system, you can't choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK.»
This may have already been discussed somewhere but I haven't seen it. I was repainting my deck yesterday and thinking about political issues and the three that I seem to spend the most time on these days are Global Warming, Universal Health Care, and the War on Terrorism. My focus yesterday was on Universal Health Care and what it would mean to our privacy should it ever pass into reality.
A couple from Calgary, Karen and J.P. Jepp, had to drive 325 miles to Great Falls in order to have their identical quadruplets because the hospitals in Calgary were unable take them because they were at capacity. They would have had to wait a few months, I guess. So the couple could not rely on their country's Universal health care and had to look to the US where there is no wait time at Benifis Healthcare Hospital.
