About Law:
I'm not sure about other states, but in Michigan prosecutors
are immune from legal action. Health insurance companies are
also immune to most legal action. Why are we surprised when people
become vigilantes and take the law into their own hands? I never
took the law into my own hands, but I have personal experience
with the evil behavior of prosecutors and of health insurance
companies. I suspect I am not alone by far. My experience reveals
that some prosecutors are cowards and thugs. It also reveals
that some insurance companies are run by crooks. Can't anyone
make the connection? People who cannot be held accountable will
tend to become dishonest. This is as certain as the law of gravity.
Felony Fraud:
To restore the rule of law in America requires that we consistently
punish the people who break it. An HMO admits felony fraud against
medicare and has to pay big fines. Good, but none of their executives
are in prison. Why? All of their executives should be in prison.
If we want the rabble to believe in and obey the law we must
enforce it evenly.
Helping People:
Recently, my wife was incapacitated and needed my help. Fortunately
for me, she is also of an independent nature. I quickly learned
that she could do some things for herself. In fact she became
belligerent about it. I learned from that. It is important for
us to do things for people who are incapacitated and in need
of help. Sadly, we often overlook the other side off that coin.
It is even more important to not do things for these people that
they can do for themselves. It is much too easy to create unnecessary
dependencies.
Michigan:
Governor Granholm vetoed a bill before her which would have legalized
a four day school week in Michigan. That was good, but she did
it for the wrong reason. She did it to protect the teacher's
pensions, because there was no provision to correct for that.
The pensions are determine by the number of school days. She
should have vetoed the bill to protect our kids from exploitation
by short sighted school administrators. Saving money is not the
goal. Educating kids is the goal. The state should find the money
for education, instead of shortchanging the kids like some carny
huckster.
Are We Desperate?
The United States has offered $25,000,000.00 for information
leading to the apprehension of Hussein or proving he is dead.
How many false leads do you suppose that will produce?
