The Health Care Deceit by Walker Bennett, SF Author

Today's government runs on big business run by the unions which controls just about everything we make and do, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and just keep naming anything else you want to add. Most likely they are controlled by the same high power groups. The government is not even a good show anymore because they are all paid by the same source.

Really want to give people a break in living and healthcare. Here is the way we would have to start. Remove all our government and replace everyone with short time workers. This may help the payoff deals because the big money will be unable to install a long time person that will do what ever they ask. Don't stop there, but close down all unions and set up employee bargining units where needed. Each one can extent no further than the company directly employing them.

Close down all medical as we know it, and place doctors and phramists together on the front lines of patient treatment. Everyplace else will be run as a individual business getting patents from the doctor front. This eliminates the need for drug advertising and special handling. I can keep going on but this is already too long for you chatters so will stop and hope this makes since to you readers.

The Taliban is only religious when it comes to their people. They wish to kill all outsiders as I understand it.

WE NEED THE CHILDRENS' SCHOOL BUS! by Gordon Swanson

The long distance kids would be bused. The short distance would walk. I lived in a small town in the north and I walked over a mile to and from school. Sometime in heavy snows and rains. All the school buses were saved for our outer area kids. I didn't enjoy the walk but it was just what everyone did. We are afraid to let kids walk alone now so grouping them all as a bus without wheels is the answer.

Please read my Posts on the same thing you are asking about. Healthcare needs to be reduced where it wastes the most money. More of us need to be active in trying to get government to do the right thing, even if it hurts their pocketbooks.

After an accident, I had pain that never stopped. Even medication could reach it. I still have a lot of pain but try not to take pain medication. It just makes me worse.

I hope some of those medicines you are taking act on the mind. A poor mind is hard to live with.

With all the hate talk going around, I think it is a good thing to show the children the person we chose to be our head of government. It should be light and informative in a way a child can understand and not push any of his objectives.

Why I Don't Like the Bible Anymore. by Abigal Ja

We are the same species but many different races. Most species maintain their race except humans. We chose to venture beyond our races which I believe is due to our higher intellagence that tells us it is not a bad thing to do. When we took this step, we should have had a way to agree we are still all equals. Jesus seems to be the only way we can truly consider everyone an equal. Most other religions still believe each race is to be protected and many have laws declaring this.

We need to understand that all people are equal is a new idea and we need to try harder to change the old thinking. Maybe everyone needs a sign on their liciense plate that says I love everyone and so does my God. I only had space to say - MY GOD LOVES YOU!. I also try my best to love everyone too.

I was not in Korea but from what I saw of pictures, etc of the Jap tortures to our men, and the other ememy aisian people toward of men during Ventanam what you write doesn't seem so harsh. Men drank uran many times to stay aline on the ocean and in the Arctic when no water was available. It won't kill you. Our astronautes has a taste of it when there water purification system was malfunctioning as I remember.

The things that hurt the Turks and others in the area were forcing them to see woman naked and other things against their religion.

Man has much evil inside of him and it is just waiting to get out. Torture of early times from my studies would make anyone sick so we are trying to get better. Also, it has many forms. Would you call burying a man underground and letting him be frozen in a test or torture? Our own military did this to me just to prove that a sleeping bag would work under the worst conditions. If it failed I would have been dead. How would you rate this on the scale of 1 to 10?

Gays in the Bible -- a must read by Wendy Hanawalt

Do we all understand how babies grow in the womb? First they are a feamale and then a gene if they have it turns them into a male. Science says this is so, so why do we fight amount each other using a written text to base our being on? Maybe, it is just that some babies have too little of the gene to make a full change? If God makes millions of us to be similar, why can't he error once in a while? Also, if we study our history, gay people many times are the ones that push the people forward from their past to the present. I am old enough that I don't care who my friends are as long as they treat me as an equal. Why can't you all do that?

Is the Bible as stupid as it seems? by Peter Joseph Swanson

Why does the Bible cause so much contraversy? I have decided that the Bible as written for King James Version is a history of the Jews failure to listen to God. God keeps trying to get them to be his priests and they keep failing.

The New Testiment gives all people a chance to serve a God. If followed as written it will provide us all a better way to live in a large group. I don't believe it is real enough for people all over the world to argue about. I don't believe any other text I have read it any better so I suggest we each pick what suits us best and stop trying to get everyone else to go along with us.

I like having a God I can talk to in private and without others getting into our conversation no matter what it is. I like to believe Jesus hold the door to my salvation if I only will believe in his words and gosple. This has served me well most of my life and even when my life was about to end. I didn't cry out to my God saying why have you forsaken me at my end point. I said that I was ready for him to take me, but would keep trying to remain alive until I failed and was in his care. Isn't this enough to allow use all to be in peace with each other and our God? It is for me, as I love everyone until you hurt me, than I may cry, and look for another that may be good to me.

The comments above are distubing to me. Are you all American birth or from somewhere else trying to make as mad at each other?

How do you think I should feel? The military used me as a test subject for two and a half years and everything I ate, wore, used was apt to be test material. I didn't try to kill a bunch of Americans like the prisoners in our jails. I just enlisted to serve my country and have I heard anyone asking about my or my buddies wellfare?

I was frozen in the Arctic ground, burned in the desert, fryed in Death Valley and yes even almost drowned in one of the few cloud storms. Gased, frozen feet and nose, including hands, lost and almost not found in the Arctic tundra, and more. I may it alive but just bearly, and I am not complaining. Why should all of you make a big deal over a little hard treatment of men that wanted to kill everyone of our people?

How can a prisioner not be giving a bad time when placed in confindment? Just to restrang a person is to cause suffering. Is it time that we see this as just another fact of being the loser, and stop making it a cause to do the same to another somewhere?

How I wish, that someone would have taken my ideas to use for creating work for our unemployed. Think of the possiblity of a cleared area under our forest that would prevent such fast spreading fires. I believe this would have been government money well spend and creation of a huge work force well trained to move up in the structural world where they will be needed. Is it possible someone will think ahead and plan rather than wait and suffer?

Reading The Bible by Gary Gentry

I started reading down your comments so I could add my own. They became to many and I lost track part way down. I will comment anyway because I may say something a little different.

The Bible as a history of the Jews, I have written in some of my comments to people in the past. The more I studied it the more I believed that it shows the failure of the Jews to follow God's directions.

Skip forward, to the New Testiment, and we have a new beginning for mankind. Jesus gives us a God that is kinder and more enjoyable to believe in. Even if you do not believe, it is a way of life most people could adopt and find years of happiness following.

I believe that life had to have a God to set the rules of nature. Most human species need a God over them to keep them in line so they can join together in large groups for the betterment of all. I believe this because it makes me less affraid and gives my life more meaning so have decided to enjoy the good of having a God verses being all alone.

I have meant death several times without fear because I believed it would raise me to another part of past life where the source starts. If affraid, like I was when incased in ice under the Arctic ground, I didn't go crazy, but prayer to God he would find me worth taking, and closed my eyes and tried to sleep. What does one do that has no one to give up your life do?
