Ron Paul is quite wrong. All states as slave states would not have lasted or been productive. People of African heritage took awhile to accept they would never get back home, even in two
or three generations.
People of African heritage did go through Kubler-Ross's five stages; we still go back and forth
through those stages. Sooner or later though, we learned the lay of the land here. We did
learn to read in many instances, despite the fact it wasn't legal to do so.
As it happens , the Supreme Court really could have held to the principles "all men
are created equal" in time enough to save us from the Civil War. But-
They have often been a very bad act on enforcing the Preamble as foundation for our constitution.

This Is War!
Health care is one sixth of the American economy.
Back in the 70s, I worked for a lot of companies starting out as HMOs.
(See, in the 70s I often worked 2, 3, 4, or 5 jobs.)
(See, in the 70s I often worked 2, 3, 4, or 5 jobs.)
If a doctor enrolled women in his practice, we paid him a Lot of money for each one, every month. Any other enrollments were paid nominally.
How much of that one sixth of the U.S. economy do we believe is women's health?
If companies can no longer cheat women on health care, how much of the care they are paid to administer will they actually have to deliver? Oh curses! Will they have to hire people? Humbug!
Companies no longer able to cheat women don't hate women. They hate not being able to cheat
women.
If a woman finishes her breast cancer chemo, you can not now drop her from your rolls. SO
inconvenient isn't it?
If a woman's husband beats her up, companies still can't drop her.
If a woman wants to control her reproductive decisions, you have no quarter with which to object.
Well you do have a very phony court that has proved since 2000 A.D.to be an enemy of the people.
But drat! Sucks to be you otherwise. No wonder you call it Obamacare. You may only be able to afford two or three vacations a year now. What sort of leadership are you getting from this guy?!
Going On Vacation?
I heard Sanford, Florida was a good tourist spot. I mean, if you don't mind violence, and inept police departments at the base of your ability to kick back.
Oh What Nonsense
Businesses don't hire when their taxes are low, or when they get cut.
When their taxes are low, their overhead is low. The economy is then slow because they don't
need to hire to make more cash so that overhead doesn't cut into profit.
Businesses have less demand for their products when people are out of work; so whatever they
do sell goes mostly into profit. They don't go hiring, because out of work people don't buy a lot.
If their taxes do go up, they hire more peope, to make more product, to sell to the working public,
so that profit goes up enough to pay taxes.
Salaries are not so high that making more money doesn't happen when businesses are selling
at or above market value.
They do make a lot of money.
But if the economy is slow, that is- not much buying or selling is going on, then businesses produce just barely enough to try to keep some sort of profit.
Right -to- work is a big joke because when salaries are especially low, working people have a
somewhat deprived environment. Municipalities cannot develop a great public square because there isn't enough in public earnings to have tax revenues to build public spaces. In that case, only the private endeavors are wonderful, and even then, often in somewhat mealy ways. The private places in public domain don't have to be stellar because those wealthy holding wages down take the excess profits to Europe, to Asia, to South America, Africa,and Australia, to spend.
The exploiters can buy the best perfume and couture abroad. No way can Mississippi affford to
develop that here.
Fabric, exotic furnishing, rare artifacts, sculpture, music, can be had abroad, where leaders may be free to put a wealth of work into developing their people.
The top percentage of wealthy in America insist on scorching the earth in American work ethics,
reaping huge profits, then going overseas to spend that profit rather than pay their fair share of
taxes where they earn. When taxes are low, much more incoming company cash goes to profit. Not much overhead accrues, and 'Resource and Development' departments dry up. With whom do these companies need to compete? Why would they develop?
Anytime corporate taxes are cut, companies lay off. In the entertainment industry, the lay-offs don't come immediately, but they can be more permanent. Boxing and the music indusrty should have been nore effectively taxed. Traditional incomes of wealth are also somewhat race dependent.
In many instances, people here who live off wealth begun in the nineteenth century use racist
culture speak to keep to a status quo they have come to love.
There is an unspoken "treaty" in the work world politics of some of our most powerful industries.
Coal mines, oil rigs, used to kill people even more regularly than they do now, because regulation
was anathema to profit, and often still is.
Industries would do what they wanted, to whom they wanted to do it, in return for keeping minority hiring to low or non-existent levels.
People would not insist on fair wages until pushed to the brink of extreme poverty.
People would not insist on unions to keep workplaces safe.
Even when people got unions, they often allowed their union's bargaining powers to become compromised.
People don't always insist on electing government officials who will push for safety or wages.
Today, people have a bit more wage and security. I hope they can hold onto it, and insist on more union representation.
Companies love to keep employees segregated if that is all workers are asking.
And in many cases, our country needs us to be more developed than that.

Trickling
What a mouth! Is George W. talking about trickle down again!?
I am so sick to death of hearing it. It does not work. Ok. And for you of all people, at the helm
when the twin towers were struck down, at the helm again when the world economy slid toward
precipice, to tout this theory again means for certain it is going to spell disaster for whomever might be tempted to listen to you.
Are you insane? We had a senile president, and now are we to find you were the clinical definition of an insane person? Someone who does the same (in this case very sick) thing over and over, expecting a different result each time can be clinically a danger to self and others. Clearly, you have fit neatly into both sets of characteristics; but we who did let you lead us, will you please let us get better at last?
Hear me now, please.
Humans don't like anything to trickle.
Only liquids can trickle.
People enjoy liquids.
They do not enjoy trickling.
People don't generally want their waters to trickle.(Well, maybe if the water is in the mountains)
People don't want their blood to trickle.
They hate bladders to trickle.
Trickle down furthermore, is a foolishly redundant phrase. What substance could trickle up?!
We need osmotic economics in our society.
Everything should be absorbed from the fertile resources in the earth of our collective efforts, then diffused upwards to create a wealth of asset for different people at different levels, in
accordance with individual ability.
We want to get better, not to dangle on your precipice, or to crack the vessels of our
resources so that they can slowly dry up from LEAKING out your trickle!

Easter Sunday
This Easter was a good year at church.
Our priest didn't mention one word about primaries, or candidate qualities, or elections.
I was so relieved! No political policy endorsements or prohibitions emerged at our service.
I would not have felt my faith disturbed if there were announcements of some sort after sevices;
but I hate the boundaries between church and state blurred, in church and out.

Holy Saturday
To honor our presiden and the White House, I watched To Kill A Mockingbird again.
I read the book in the 60s, and saw Gregory Peck in the movie. I was stunned, I remember, when I saw how closely the book followed the movie. I began to wonder back then
if Hollywood was getting better, because I loved their romantic thrillers and
spectacles of the late fifties, but hated their musicals, and later their new young love movies
about people in their twenties who had no parents.
I was a North By Northwest girl, and was horrified by The Manchurian Candidate.
I feel now, with all that is going on in Sandford, Florida- our president was reaching out to us to let cool heads prevail by screening " ...Mockingbird" at the White House last week.
But we have to remember "they" do; they do kill Mockingbirds.
