acorn really reminds me of a certain animal rights group that starts with a p. crazys that think they know what is best for everyone else. sure 1.4 million pales in comparison to the amount of money it will take for healthcare, or even to assist with the national debt, but it would help...

Off topic... Why would you not want it to go someplace where it would be helpful - like healthcare you think everyone else should pay for, or to help with that national debt that's been racking up? Instead you want it to go to criminals and liars. :hu Continue with discussion.

Use of this medication will lead to 10 more deseases that will require medication, that will lead to 10 different deseases, and so on a so forth... :/ :lol: :rolleyes:

:welcome

That and people who run to the doctor at every sniffle or cough. It's amazing that people don't know how to treat a cold without going to the doctor for antibiotics that don't work anyway, but the doctor still prescribes them. Or parents who diagnose their children with ADD and take them to...

Good points! (I was just joking about the conspiracy) I have even heard people say that their doctors have admitted that it is just easier to prescribe a pill, than waste their breath and time help people learn how to live a more healthful lifestyle. That won't change with the government run...

Great ideas!!

Eating right may not mean you never need medical care, but what is the biggest health issue in America? Obesity. Where does obesity stem from? Terrible diets. Obesity is not just being overweight, it often times includes diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and all sorts of other medical...

Sure it takes radical change, which could mean, stop spraying our food with poison, stop pumping us full of antibiotics through meat, stop using chemicals to over process food (which are all approved by the government), tell people macdonalds is bad for them. Those are drastic changes that need...

I tried to bow out gracefully - so much for that. Look at wifezillas post - If you really think those 47 million people are "suffering needlessly" then I don't know what to tell you. There are ways to get healthcare without insurance, and again there are the exceptions that rack up thousands...

I do not agree with requiring anyone to have insurance - that is why mine covers un-insured motorists. That's how I take responsability for myself. If someone hit me and didn't have insurance would I expect the government to pay for the damages? No. I'm not sure that's the equivilent, but it...

Vehicle issues are, for the most part, regulated by the stae, not the federal government. Getting something started is one step closer to total control - look at GM. edited typo, though there are probably still one or two.

I regret having contributed to this discussion without having reliable internet access. But I have to wonder why one that is striving for self sufficiency is so adamate about putting the government in charge of yet another aspect of our lives. With the plan the president is pushing it would...

So which is it? Has it never been tried before, or has it been proven not to work? Instant gratification is what y'all are looking for. What I'm looking for is change that will sustain.

What steps have been taken over the last 20 years to make any sort of improvement? I'm not scared of change, change is good, but the change this administration wants to make is not in the best intrest of the entire country.

:thumbsup Thanks! I try.

My co-workers looked at me like I have five heads when I told them happy constitution day yesterday. :rolleyes:

I have to point out that the constitution states it will promote the general welfare, not provide for it. I don't understand why it is ok to just disregard the document that this country was born from. America is unique in the fact that is was built on the premise of freedom from oppression...

What great stories, and you tell them so well!!!

I was so glad to read that. I have those maggots in my compost and I knew for sure there was something I was doing wrong. But now I will nurture them and love them. I was always worried about diseases that they might carry, but now I'll let my chickens have at them when I'm turing the...
