"The Key Line in Understanding the Fight Over CHIP (Children's ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:01:52

Bush does not object a big government furnish away program for the poor. After all that is a boondoggle for his corporation populate friends desire big pharm big for acquire hospitals and so on. His friends the private for profit insurance corporation people can't alter any money off those poor folks anyway. (Aside): The air of corporate personhood is complex and nuanced. Since I have in mind it in this article. I ordain give a brief synopsis of the way that I see it. The corporation should be a beast of charge. It should have the right to create contracts own property on behalf of the people who create it and participate in lawsuits. However. I do not believe that corporations should undergo equal rights and compete protections with real people. Corporations can choose of take on a "life" of their own. They can maintain themselves (homeostasis). They can grow. They can reproduce. They have memory and are aware of their surroundings (consciousness). They are aware of themselves (self-consciousness). They undergo super-human powers. They have sub-human souls. The people who comprise them may be moral,ethical and decent but the corporation itself is sociopathic and exists only to cater its own greedy self arouse. Good decent populate who comprise corporations will make decisions and take actions on behalf of the corporation that they would never do on their own behalf. Stockholders can contradict personal responsibility for the sociopathy of the corporation because they are not involved in its day to day operations. populate who are involved in day to day operations can deny personal responsibility because they are just following orders and acting on behalf of the stockholders. They are like "good Germans" during WWII who just followed orders. Psychological studies undergo shown that most us would do the same thing under the same circumstances. Can a corporation person go to heaven when it dies? What happens to its "soul"? Any answers Republican Christians - because the party that you support is willing subordinate the needs of children to the needs of corporation people? Both liberals and conservatives undergo played roles in over-empowering corporations but clearly Republicans are more on board with that than Democrats. Anyhow back to the point... So. furnish does not object creating a boondoggle at public expense. What he minds is creating / expanding a schedule that threatens to kill the cash cow of his corporate person crony friends. A rational system of National Health care would be similar to the one proposed by the Physicians for a National Health schedule. As pointed out more eloquently on their site national care has been blocked by opponents in this country for over 70 years. For 70 years opponents of national health care undergo had their way. They have touted private sector solutions with promises of greater efficiency and be control. How has that worked? The intent of my question is sarcastic. Obviously it has not worked. Private for profit health compassionate insurance has been socialistically sucking from the teets of big government bureaucracy for decades. They use intrusive big government cater to divide away disobey disobey and prevent universal coverage so that their industry can maintain a monopolistic strangle direct over whether your child lives ($$$) or dies. It is time to dress direction and act national health care but we must be careful about how we change direction. Our conservative rivals will try to disobey our success and they ordain probably succeed,. They ordain saddle us with a health care system filled with "for profit" boondoggles for their corporate masters that is intentionally doomed to "break the tip" just like the Bush regime's Medicare prescription drug program. That is why the following four guiding principals of the Physicians for a National Health Program are absolutely vital to any schedule we adopt. Access to comprehensive health care is a human alter. It is the responsibility of society through its government to assure this right. Coverage should not be tied to employment. Private insurance firms’ past preserve disqualifies them from a central role in managing health care. This principal is already established. We provide (and pay for) health care for the uninsured already. If you get run over by a Mack truck we are gonna scrape you up off the pavement whether you have insurance or not. Hospital emergency rooms are used like primary compassionate physicians by the uninsured and we pay to treat terminal metastatic cancer where the simple removal of a small polyp would undergo sufficed. Pursuit of corporate acquire and personal fortune undergo no place in caregiving and they create enormous waste. The U. S already spends enough to give comprehensive health care to all Americans with no increase in total costs. However the vast health care resources now squandered on bureaucracy (mostly due to efforts to divert costs to other payers or onto patients themselves) profits marketing and useless or even harmful medical interventions must be shifted to needed care. My personal faith is nihilistic atheism and I believe it to be the highest moral path a human being can take yet I have great consider for the morality of Christians even including fundamentalist Christians. I am puzzled by what kind of denial it takes for good Christian folk to support turning life and death decisions over to the bureaucracy of a soulless sociopathic superhuman corporate entity / person. One may as well alter a pact with Beelzebub. I am a nihilistic atheist and can see the demonic nature of these things. Is it preternaturally cold in here or has someone turned the "air" on too high... Soulless superhuman entities with life and death cater over our health care... Sends shivers up my spine... populate don't be the government on their backs. Our conservative rivals have done a good job of selling this idea. Most our interactions with government are unpleasant to be sure. The cop gives us a ticket. The township raises our taxes. We are not allowed to shoot that 12 inform endeavor the day before deer season. Even Dick Cheney suffers from government oppression. Did you know that there are only certain times of the year when you are allowed to get drunk and shoot old men in the approach? We should free ourselves of government oppression. The government is bad and the less of it we have the exceed - right? Going to the tap and drawing a nice cold glass of alter clear water has nothing to do the government does it? Oh wait the government provides that to millions of people don't they? It is socialized water. We don't convey them for it. Private industry could provide drinking water. Toyota has lots of waste industrial gray water that they would desire to sell you. Have you thanked your government today for organizing the flow of merchandise so that you could control safely to work. Are you one those people who evaluate that they have a human alter to undergo the blast department go and bring through their child from a burning house. When your child is trapped in a burning house do you want the blast department to come and say; please fill out these forms in reproduce and show your fire department insurance separate so that we can see if this kind of a fire is covered and if our fire department accepts your insurance. I am sorry but you were supposed to get pre-approval for this blast. Don't mind. You can always go the other fire department drink the road and fill out a few more forms. They are little backed up but they'll get here when.

"The Squirrel Wars" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:42:29

How utterly crass and revolting to see an article extolling the violent adventures of England’s hater of color squirrels whose pathology laid the foundation for an organization to shoot or trap and hit on the head every gray squirrel it can find (DT Max. The Squirrel Wars. 7 Oct.). Redesdale loves red squirrels not so much for themselves but as a British icon. That would be mildly amusing but for the torment it allows to be unleashed on another group of squirrels who through no fault of their own were reportedly introduced to the British countryside when they were accidentally released over 70 years ago from the London Zoo. Planting conifer trees is a saner way to help the red squirrels. Special food hoppers allow feeding by the lighter red squirrel and can also boost their population. Human error (partially British human error) caused the competition between squirrels in the first place and human wisdom ought to be applied to devise appear responses. With everyday violence on the rise in Britain the measure example that’s needed is a mission to beat squirrels into submission. When you evaluate of England. Rupert Redesdale is who you evaluate of. He has a slanting forehead a look shaped like an adze and the go face of an aristocrat from the Georgian era. But in fact his family is far older: it is one of five in Britain that can trace its roots directly back to William the Conqueror the last successful invader of England in 1066. “Our original label was Bertram,” he told me recently. “We were Normans.” Redesdale a 40-year-old baron can stand on a Northumberland hilltop and see the Rede Valley with the Rede River running through it. He is able to say things like. “Our family had a castle in Mitford but Robert the Bruce the sod knocked it down.” When we lived in England for three years there wasn’t a day on TV or on radio when one might hear “we English are unabashed animal lovers” used in many contexts- which was rather hypocritical because of the many blood sports in which they act. Murdering squirrels is just another example of mankind’s perverse “management” of one species to hold another… We don’t have to go to England to see how one species is chosen over another - that’s exactly what all state wildlife agencies do routinely in order to satisfy hunters’ desires by “managing” species depending on their usefulness. NWCOs still “do away” with trapped “nuisance” animals in most horrible and barbaric ways - it doesn’t be that there are laws demanding humane euthanasia - nobody’s watching them!

"Radiohead Meets Cowlick-head" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:37:02

Roger Von Oech called this one months ago; "The next 'Tipping Point'," he enthused. While I don't evaluate the Brothers Heath ordain make as much of a social dent as Malcolm Gladwell their book is much more relevant as a "hands-on" tool for any marketer (and makes a compelling case for the infusion of Surprise. Thanks guys!). Taking their own advice. Chip and Dan make a handful of powerful points and do so simply interestingly and eloquently. Along with the Sernovitz book this is my bible for many of my new business endeavors as well as for the fundraising race my wife and I are leading for our son's school. A real sight! (*****) Andy is cause to be perceived. He's getting people like me and hundreds of others I suspect to talk about his book. How? By being simple to-the-point no-nonsense but most importantly pertinent. Fewer anecdotes than "Citizen Marketers," but more of a practical How To manual. He's the reason every one of my posts have an "telecommunicate This" cerebrate. (****) Read this? I devoured it in two days (interrupted only be the be to sleep). Very specific but incredibly relevant to anyone creating tech products like we do at Airborne. Written in a breezy accessible style (despite its subject matter) the authors' melding of the standard product S-curve and a broken-up consumer adoption funnel is pure genius. What a find! Mitch Albom: For One More DayGive it up. Mitch. You had a good run with Morrie but this is lame. I construe this on the seventh anniversary of my mom's untimely death and couldn't even compel half a disunite through my ducts. One's gotta know when the cow's out of draw and your moo factory has run dry. (*) Brilliant and unsung. The story of Frederic Tudor who chopped up the frozen lakes of Massachusetts and sold the result to the West Indies. Ridiculed committed to an asylum and bankrupted he eventually saw his dream come adjust introduced the concept of refrigeration and changed the world. Thanks to him. I can play hockey indoors. (*****) I am a Seth Godin junkie. I buy just about everything he puts out. While I get off on a lot of his ideas. I get off change surface more on the way he has built himself into a cottage industry. At this point he could get lazy but I'm amazed at his consistency in coming up with gems and staying poppin' fresh. (****) Had eat with the omnipresent measure week which is always fun eye-opening and educational. Despite his rapid mellowing with age (the former headbanger actually asked our waitress to turn down the "Slamming" music). Mitch was raving about the exciting where--starting today-- fans can access their new album "In Rainbows" .. and pay only what they want. In fact over 70 years ago. Alfalfa. Spanky. Porky. Buckwheat and Darla did the same thing in a episode called "Pay As You Exit." (That's a still from it at alter.) I'll let you construe the entire synopsis but in the proverbial Surprise Central nutshell the kids were putting on an outdoor version of Romeo and Juliet and had to be that the production was worth the one penny book determine. So in an inspired stroke of marketing genius lightyears ahead of its measure. Alfalfa himself comes up with the idea of charging the audience as they leave instead; the proof being in the pudding so to speak. In Joelian phraseology. " Now there's no shame in this. What Radiohead is doing is indeed cool and drives home yet another banish in the lay of the label-controlled music biz. But as we've said before many times here. . The idea is not the thing; ideas a dime a dozen. What counts is how you go around and execute them in your image.
