Heart Attack!

I think I almost just had one! I saw a comment to one of my posts. "Jeff" had some comments and recommended a book, The Fourth Turning. It's now on my list of books to get. Of course, classes are starting and who knows when I'll get to my list, but I hope to soon.

He also posits that the "mosque" issue in NYC is a diversion to incite hatred of Muslims. Hmmm. I'm not sure I ever considered that, at least not in such open terms. I just approached it from "just because one can do something doesn't mean one should do it." Let's think about that one for a while longer.

BTW, I saw a video of Max Baucus, the Senate author of the ObamaCare bill/law. One of his constituents asked if he had read the bill. Remember, he's the author of it. He chuckled, openly, and admitted he hadn't. He told the questioner he didn't have time, that she certainly wouldn't want him to waste his time reading it. And, besides, he went on, he couldn't understand it even if he did read it. Only the experts could understand it. He admitted that the bill's language was written by some "legislative experts," not the politicians, and "who knows what it means?" What incredible things to say, to admit!!!!! I would have thought, after his first rather stupid response, he'd be smart enough to keep his mouth shut, but he wasn't. And K. Sibelius, Sec of HHS, sat at the table, too--no, she hadn't read it, but at least didn't go on like Baucus. Now, one might well be in favor of a national health care plan. OK, I can accept someone wanting one such a bill; I understand that. But consider all the garbage, well, like the above. Seriously.... How can one condone this? That I can't understand or accept. Imagine any other line of work, any other endeavor, anything, that has been handled like this. And, the Bozos admit it--from Baucus, to Dingell, to Conyers, to....

Yet another sign that the Apocalypse is nearly upon us.
