in the news

the rider family is back safe and sound...a little delay, and 20 benjamins later...they are back...

health care...i have very little intelligent commentary because i am not as studied as i should be, however, here is my thought...i do not believe the proposed health care by the administration is a good one...i believe that our current health care is flawed...i think most of us will agree to those statements...so it is a system that needs to be fixed...to what degree and how is the issue...i am not a fan of big GOVT...nor am i a fan of small GOVT (leaving certain large tasks in the hands of the private sector doesnt work...american history teaches us that)...mainly because of greed i believe that the "private sector" cannot and will not fix any of the problems we face in our health care system...i believe that our health care will only get worse no matter what...for ONLY the GOVT can fix it...but the GOVT is inept when it comes to such tasks...

brown winning MA and balancing power in the senate is a "win" for the elephants, so, i guess the "impending" doom is haulted...ugh!...giving our taxes to the GOVT... it is like putting gas into a car that just spins its wheels while up on blocks (ferris bueller's day off)

haiti...estimations are that 100,000-200,000 will have died...that is like SPFD being wiped out...other estimations, (conservative) are that 1.5M will be left injured or without a "home"...that is like STL, KC and SPFD together...and now this morning, another 6.1 aftershock...a writer from the associated press called it an "apocalyptic quake"...and perhaps that is an accurate statement...

i have always ignored the details that are prophesied to happen during the great tribulation because i will be in heaven for that 7 years...the natural disasters that take place are going to be catastrophic...this week we got a glimpse into what panic and devastation will take place on earth...i have no point...

later from 3rd St.
