Gerald Ford stood in front of the Citizens and pardoned Nixon.
It seems that the present administration is covering up the High Crimes and Misdemeanors of the past administration by pretending that they did not occur.
Our Country is suffering today because of the lack closure of the offences of Nixon and the lack of charges against his appointees, many of who came back in the Bush Administration. The punishment is not the issue! It is the missing history and precedence for today.
We live in a Country that is Corrupt, States that are Corrupt, and in Counties and Cities that are Corrupt and all obey no Law.
For me Change meant the Processes of Government and laws would be recognized and enforced as the guiding principals of our Federal, State and local Governments.
Today, over one year into a new administration these principles are still not followed or enforced at any level of Government.
Our operating system has crashed and there is no reset button!
Please realize age makes one unemployable by companies that provide insurance, these are the companies that pay the best and anyone would love to work for.
Hiring is done by the Human Resource Department and it is responsible for controlling health insurance costs as it is one of their budget lines. One of the major ways they control costs is to keep the average age of the employee younger.
The cost of health insurance is set yearly in 2 ways. The first issue is the average age of the work force for the company is analyzed. It is further broken down into male, female, geographic location and jobs performed by the employees. This is a beginning factor for a new policy. The older the average ages of the group the higher the costs of the policy.
Another factor with an existing policy is the history of the group. The higher the costs last year the higher this factor drives this new years increase.
The Human Relations Department thus has an incentive to hire young and not hire older workers of any age.
If you are in your late 40's, you are old by present insurance standards. In fact older workers are fired (laid off) because of our present way of providing private health care insurance.
The private insurance policies cost every older American INCOME and hope of getting better paying jobs with the companies we want to work for with good pay, healthcare and wages paid.
Now bitch about single payer all day but anything else cost us as we age our income, employment and our quality of life as we mature.
PS, President Obama we would gladly pay higher taxes if we were employable by the better companies. This also does not take into account the opportunity costs to the companies and country of the experience lost by not employing the most capable Citizens.
Both of my Florida Senators do not support public option health care.
18,000 Americans die each year because they can not pay to live! I say again Citizens are allowed to die for lack of that green stuff.
My Senator Martinez's office uses voice mail to answer when I called, no humans here. I left message asking him to support the public option. I knew it was probably hopeless but I asked. I called Bill Nelson's office and talked to a real human. I got a run around that really meant that he did not support the public option much less the single payer I want.
I have decided to call back and ask if they will continue to allow over 18,000 Americans to be killed each year by lack of health insurance. .
Most of these politicians have supported war against those who have killed far fewer Americans!
Why will our Senators and Congress persons not go to war themselves against the health industry for us the American Citizens?
Please call your Senators and Congressman/woman and ask ......"Why are you killing over 18,000 or more Americans a year?"
Memorial Day is Ceremonies and Prayers for those who have sacrificed for this Country. As our military comes from the rural areas we personally know fewer of the victims of war.
We have not responded to the needs of the wounded, their families and the families of the dead.
Actions require money, Prayer is Free.
Having just listened to this re-broadcast I am sitting here shaken. Not understanding the language, only the emotional universal feelings of horror beat into me.

Having searched the site I cannot understand the lack of comments about the League of Democracies comments by McCain
We used to have a section on the Café called American Abroad, the Neocons in the Democrat’s Party clothing.
When McCain again razed this concept there has been little explanation on what this is about and how it is a commitment
To continue George Bushes Wars.
Where are the past blogers that posted through this period that can discuss this much better than I?
Be warned these comments are code to indicate the Neocons are in control of McCain!
Search TPMCafe for Concert of Democracies and League of Democracies and read the comments.
Goodle this also for a larger view.
Here are some links to get started.
