On The Nations Health Care; How To Siphon Off The Blood Bank

Our Great Success at The Nations Health Care Blood Bank Must Continue!

{A fictional parable narrative}

IMG_0636_2_2

You all know why we must work together on this one.  It is a battle over what is assumed true, what is real, and how we keep what we have.

One thing any predator knows; separate the individual from the herd.  Now you have access.

This is what we face in commandeering The Commons, or the common interest, commonly referred to as the public good.  We turn the commonality into the subjective.  Just as a predator will work the herd to find the weak, we program ideas into the culture that achieves this same objective. By controlling the conceptual parameters of individualism, we can engineer access to break that common good, and make that good our own.

We use fear as if it were teeth baring down on the individual.  This not only makes them fearful and susceptible, but has them seeking out a new body of protection, a new herd to provide cover.  Survival is in a basic sense; the individuals insurance plan; what preserves them and their future.  This new herd mentality of the individual, must be our desire and our ideology.

We manipulate The Commons, for the interest of the individual above the whole.  In religion, we make the individual fearful.  In the economy, we do the same.  Wealth and power have their now intrinsic access bias provided by our cultural paradigm; a way of life that keeps us on top, while others lust after our achievements.  This we use to our advantage, and all while the ideology of individualism supports the kind of success and fortune that we represent.  Their identity is in this way, wed to our own.

This is how Creation is separated in individual consciousness.  It is also how we project ourselves as the intermediary, standing between the individual and survival, be it earthly or heavenly.  They are then dependent on us.  Our fears can be transmitted to them as if they were their own, for in effect they are.  We own the cosmological and spiritual perspective.  Where we point, the individuals narrative goes.

Now we can defeat Democracy and its Liberalism while using those very inventions to untie themselves.  The public good is rendered our good.  The best slaves, are those who believe themselves to be free.

-

We can defeat American health care reform, which means, keep things essentially the way they are.  To do this it is necessary to divert attention from reality, to fear. Fear can overcome an individuals sense of self with the attending sense of reality, having it defer to paranoia and linked apparent threat motivation.  Fear is an opportunist, meaning our opportunity; a predators prime leverage in conscious and subconscious consideration.  It is then, a currency unparalleled in identity control and manipulation.  Fear is money in our bank.  We must never forget that!

We are faced with this imperative; We must culture an audience based on faith, on belief, and not on so called objective reality. These so called believers are prone to accept opinion and attitude over truth, fear over fact, for now they are rendered independent and suspicious of objective critical thinking requirements.  These greatly enable our primitive control mechanisms; shame and ostracism, to motivate conformity to our will.  We will so control the individuals sense of survival, attaching their ensuing identity interest to our own.  We have many media avenues to deliver this drug to the populace.

IMG_0636_2_2

Look at how obvious individuals see this one way street of interest already; Corporations simply pass on their tax of profit, their tax of cost, and even their tax of tax onto the individual.  But is the reverse true?  Do the working smoes pass on their cost of living increase by upping their wage?  Absolutely not!  This is why we must attack unions and any other organization of the relative whole populace, accept where we desire.  We call the shots on survival, then we have individual behave as we wish.  And believe me, we have them insisting that this is freedom as well!

No one said transferring your interest to another does not necessarily have you be thanked for it!  Once we have this myopic identity inserted into individual consciousness, the big view becomes ours to define.  We automatically attract a legion of followers that are desperate for our own intellectual and rational dialectics.  Those who see our power and intuit its advantage, will lust after our reason, and attack those who do not accept our commands.  Do you see the propaganda business scenario?  I trust so.

We own America, the public does not!

We will lose control of the public if they are taught to understand what fact in context is for themselves, and so we defer to attitude, authority and posture; standard conservative identify control features.  That, and a self validated individualism that considers ones own opinion as the relevant truth.  Do not underestimate individualism as an identity feature.  It enables us to part out Creation, making it all up for sale, including ones very health and well-being, ones life.  No more apples for them for the taking, or unconditional love. The individual is disconnected form nature continuity, dependent upon supply strategies we provide for survival.  This greatly enables cognitive dissonance coping mechanisms, contorting our public into the shape we wish to guarantee our survival, all through their own subjugation.

And our individualist think they are free!  Lovely.

We have our usual target audiences; those who are proving to not know how to actually check facts, and are highly susceptible to black magic, or rumor and allegation.  Remember the statement; ‘He palls around with terrorist.’ comment last election? Soon they were yelling that Obama was a terrorist.  It is about controlling cause to produce desired effect.

Unhinging fear upon susceptible identities is a powerful disruptor of consciousness and civilized dialogue.  This is why we must provoke the exhibition of these fears upon the population; doubt and fear help conservatism.  Period.  Turmoil sets people back to what they think they know, conserving what seems relevant to the identity’s stability. They are then diverted from what now seems a dangerous unknown change.  Straight forward monkey business, people; and we just sit back and watch this happen. Wrong! We encourage it by not aiding or abetting our enemy!

To these ones out of the critical thinking mandates, opinion appears as fact, in that that opinion or innuendo suits the already believed in ideas. People who operate by faith conceptualizations, can be the easiest pickings for propaganda.  Our thinkers have long been aware of this, being it is evident throughout human history.  We now tailor our required fear manipulations to the target audience susceptibilities. We will bite them with it.  By anesthetizing critical thinking capacity, emotion and idea association become the proof, facts become suspicious.  That is how we take down the “reality community”.

We will care for ourselves by defeating the reasons people support caring for one another unconditionally. It is how The Golden Rule is conquered; divided and defeated.  This causes compartmentalization of The Golden Rule to our kind of people, and not those others.  You know who we are talking about.

See how easy it is?

IMG_0636_2_2

We control minds by tugging at the suspicions of the heart.  Fear is thus our allied communicator, our constant companion. We do this emotional point of view pivot on health care, by changing a public awareness of common health concerns, to self centered, everyone for themselves thinking. Distrust of government is a key to this perception, where we desire its targeting.  So the socialism ruse is an excellent one.

Most folks do not know the air is, in effect, socialized; the highways, the power grid, the military, many of Life’s fundamentals are communal property.  Yet we can take them out of consideration, control the definitions limitations of a concepts usage.  We can even take away, eventually, the communal identity by hiring out government function to private contractors.  They then use tax dollars, but become corporation dependent in their philosophical world view.

You want clean water?  They buy a bottle!

And our noose tightens on human identity.

We have pretty much controlled the dialectic on government parameters by associating it with cost, then that cost is framed as what is taking form you and giving to someone unworthy as you.  This is simple self-centeredness, yet appealing to most anyone wanting more money.  We have in this way commandeered self interest to exclude interest of The Commons.  Most people do not even know what The Commons actually is; it is the connectivity of Life  In short; we must place attitude and innuendo above illness, subjectivity above the objective.  And believe me; we have like minded followers of this eternal struggle for success over humankind.

We have tried and true means at our disposal, as well as the ever paranoid lunatic fringe to scare suspicion into the nations dialogue.  We defeat the public by using the public insecurity and attaching it to our own will.  Here is where the fabled Wedge Issues come in; under the guise of well meaning intention, perception is realigned to subjective tagged considerations.  Now; what we have created are malleable identities, able to be transformed to accept our interest as their own, while thinking they are seeing things as they are for themselves.  Deception is a beautiful thing!

This is opinion evolution of the highest order, our order.  Our orders are best served by having the public believe they are their own, a seamless continuum.  We are fortunate by nature, that money gives us access to promote our views through congress and our legion of loyal followers.  In this way, we manufacture Wedge Issues as our own health policy guarantee.  And so, power controls Democracy, surrendering it to those who can afford it.  This is as it should be; we erase the Renaissance and the Age of Reason with a wisp of our wing.

Oh yeah; and render Democracy our own servant stepchild.

IMG_0636_2_2

We are fortunate, that in corporate America, the alleged liberal press actually shills for us and not exactly the public good.  Well, let me put it more accurately; it is the public good as far as we are concerned.  We must make the public share our concerns as their own.  This attitude change will change how people identify with health care in the USA, with simple identifying characteristics; what seems to be for them, and what seems against them.

Power must use its “unfair” advantage to defeat the problematic egalitarian implied fairness of Democracy.  We have power and influence to do just this, while the public remains numb in our anesthetics charms; they feel subconsciously dependent.  You know; the hand that feeds them.  We can then use their own subconscious leanings in this regard, against their real interest, and for our own. This is an ancient historical struggle to subdue the mass of humanity. It is never finished.

Vigilance is our eternal cause.  So remember our assets; our corporate press is not actually a democratic Free Press Fourth Estate, but one driven by profit bottom-lines just as we all are.  It is a corporate Forth Estate, based on squeezing out money, and don’t anyone forget it!  Guess who “they”, the free press, will naturally side with?  I trust you know that answer!  How do you think we have practically every unsubstantiated, wild idea on the far right being the questions being asked of the Obama administration?  Yet what is the constant chant?  The Mainstream Liberal Media is all biased!

Back eight years or so ago, most anything spoken against Bush was cast as Bush bashing being done by the far left fringe. Their questions were pretty much shamed into silence, while we have people thinking Obama isn’t even a true American! Brilliant!  A liberal press indeed people!  It is liberal in its diverse usage that we exploit, in that we love promoting sex, violence, and most any conflict to grab emotional attention, as well as for the ensuing big bucks of course. We then have conservatism blame liberalism for it, while sitting back and counting the cash!  That is how subconsius control works, we allude the liberal media is always promoting it!

It is all about hiding right in front of the public eye. Shell Games people.  The old bait an switch.  It will be faith and trust in our goodness, and claims of principle, that allows us to force surrender upon objectivity.  We promote blind trust for our interest, a conspiracy of fear for our mass of adversary.

IMG_0636_2_2

We may be the last industrialized nation to cover all our citizens health. We must keep it that way if we intend to make a gravy train killing off of illness and fear.  It is all about silent and steady leverage.  Public input does not foster that.  Lets face the truth; we scare money our of pockets plain and simple.  Imagine it people: We have something like 70% of Southern Whites believing Barack Obama was not even born in America(*).  That is how we put illusion ahead of reality.

We now have the equivalent of the power of magic, the power of illusion and confusion, with easy ideas as cognitive dissonance antidote.  We can make anyone believe in anything, then blame others for problems that continue to evolve.  You know the cue then; Its caused by those liberals!  Who you gonna trust?  Those sinister liberals?  I don’t think so.

Now I would like to congratulate our ideological promoting hero’s. Special thanks to our own Three Kings, to Rush, Bill and Sean.  They our our masters of cognitive dissonance, of denial, blame and shame.  They make fact checking irrelevant, instead, manipulating identity shames peer pressure perception into just what rules; arrogance and accountability projected out to others than our own.  This is our health protection plan.  We have think tanks and institutional advantage to pry the public interest to our own.

We must disguise government supported Health Care as being just another Big Government spending boondoggle; one likely to kill off our own family, or at least imply that to the public perception of their interest.  Fear is our leverage on individual identity.  The right use of words can mold public opinion as if it were clay in our hands.  He’s forcing us into socialism! Run for your lives! By scaring folks, by manipulating their own fear, we can and we will defeat hope.  Hope will become Nope.  We can then get back to many more years of plundering the public commons, ladies and gentleman.  And that is how we stay ahead of voters; by seduction to our interest as if it were their own!

IMG_0636_2_2

These are an oligarchies rules; we must shift an ideological tag to our interest that appears to represent average citizens suspicions of government.  We do the same for intellectual elites. See how the elite tag taints them?  Do you recall? It works even while George Bush claimed his actual base was the elite.  The elite who manipulate society to remain ahead that is.  That is the elite of consumption, and not of ideas per-say. In democracy, where citizens are given much too much sway over us, we must defeat their own thoughts with our own!  Government bureaucrats will be making decisions for us, standing between you and your doctor! How simple it is, and it is thanks to the intellectual elite we hire to shape public perceptions to opportunist ideology!

Of course this ignores that we have our own corporate bureaucrats already stuffed between the patient and their health care. The dumbed down public doesn’t even realize that they have been fooled into a system that actually takes choice out of their own hands, while claiming to put it there!  Do you see it people?  At least in government, in democracy, you have a say at election time.  Not so in my company! I say not so in America!

Fool them once!  I say fool them 300,000,000 million times!

Believe me.  They will identify with us and share our profitable concerns, even while their own health is being jeopardized by our exploitation of their fear of illness. Remember; society socializes wealth towards the well off (you and me!) and those who set up the various pyramid system paradigms that permit us to harnesses an others energy into your own column.  At least this socialism for the haves, succeeds as long as it is not conceived of that way.  Let us control the dialectic;  Vote for socialism’s public say on cost, bad.  My corporate socialism for me and my stockholders with no public say; good.

That is exploitation, plain and simple, yet for us it is unparalleled opportunity. By sugar coating opportunism with ideas of achievement and success, with self worth and validation by material reward, we obliterate the awareness of exploitation’s usage, while deferring away the problems caused by environmental and social degradation.  It becomes the obvious mechanism to move ahead of others, by leveraging their life energy into your own possession.  Consequence and accountability be damned.  Notice how we shame liberals with accusation while denying accountability issues directed at us?  Faith is something we can bank on!  We can have faith that our followers will not know where or how to check the real facts and how they fit the world.  Disorientation, ladies and gentlemen, allows you to point those pins at the donkey for them!

.IMG_0636_2_2

We have many interested in these schemes that grab others effort, a small piece at a time, but eventually, by mass appeal, this system is accepted as natural and God given.  It rises each day as the sun, and at night as the moon.  We have achieved in human consciousness, the appearance of inherent reality, reality that by all appearance seems simply to be what is.  That is the power and the glory of conservatism.  How do we find that pin in an individuals hay stack that will allow us to pick their pockets lock?  A blowtorch!  Again; thanks to the Three Kings and their many wannabees shilling for subjugation of the individual to our entrenched power dynamic, in the name of freedom!  Magnificent!

We make our logic the logic of identity appeal, then blame change as actually being a threatening attempt to destabilize your life.  It certainly would ours!  This is why we have created the bogeyman of The Mainstream Media, as a shield to corrupt the impressions of any objective reality intrusion.  Remember.  70% of Whites in the South (by an actual poling) are so unhinged of fact checking, that they can be lead to believe what our sycophants wish.—The liberal conspiracy is in reality a faith, it is a belief, and it insulates us from the questioning of these individuals own sense of what reality is and is not.

Notice our Sarah, and so many loyal others; we simply state opinion as fact, while making up logic by already manipulated emotional perception, with its now ideological tag and frame.  It is about an appearance of consistency to our faithful. Luckily they are primed to follow buzz words as if it were manna from heaven. Other aspects of mind control, such as Thought-terminating clichés, will have a word or phrase act as negative magic wands, to stop our followers from thinking further into any matter we wish. Perception slides down that slope right into our bank accounts.  In some ways, we can be much more liberal with the truth and fact as liberals ever could be.  It is a beautiful vice!  We have them both coming and going.  Now there is a profitable trap; other hearts pump to fill up our tanks!

We can have them, the public, our public, think fascism is communism, and more secretly, stealthily to our advantage; think anti-Christianity, is Christianity.  We can reverse the endemic liberalism of Jesus Christ.  A millennium ago we purged the Gospels of spiritually self empowering communal ideas, leaving those that supported our own kinds of power over structures.  We have these believers trapped, but now, without Biblical reference for more direct perception of The Divine and its attending enhanced consciousness.  We have the individual much more worried over their own heavenly outcome, rather than their expanded perception of their being now. This project is still moving forward quite well on much of right wing Christianity, yet they would be outraged to acknowledge this!

That is the perfection of our cover, ladies and gentleman.  Our power over others arises from their own failings within.  Failings we have instituted into the program.  Our faithful have unplugged their own objectivity and rationality, depriving themselves of truly honest questioning.  Check Mate!

Like any opportunism in nature, we have every right to take and keep what we can get, no matter by hook, or by crook, or by the best of intention.  So called reality based Americans look at our followers in abject disbelief; How can they really believe that? The mind is controlled by controlling the heart.  Liberals just do not see the disadvantage they are in; subjectivity is much easier to control than objectivity.  Infinitely more simple, and so this is how we must keep our flocks; plain and simple and proud of it!

IMG_0636_2_2

Keep spreading the Nope about National Health Care, especially any public option. Yell out; “They are destroying America for their socialist plan!” Thanks, but I meant that figuratively. We certainly do not wish the most popular of all health plans, the socialized health care plan run by the VA, or that other one; Medicare, from competing with us across the boards to drive prices down.  We do not need lower pricing.  We need no question permitted about we doing what we wish with our clients health care plan.  Now that is opportunism at work people!  I say; Don’t let the government take that choice for us away!  Now just phrase that to the common folk, and you have them in your talons!

You’ve got to love those congress-people, with their own national health care plan, condemning government involvement in medicine!  Fantastic!  And all because folks do not check the real facts in context; but are instead influenced by our opinion as operational truth.  My people; just check out Fox News and our GOP partners.  It’s a wonderful confusion!  We still retain our loyal followers even when we are found to be the ones whose principle seems to be, do as I say and not as I do!  Keep the faith!

Keep energizing our lunatic base!  Attack and run, ladies and gentleman.  Make things up.  It is all about doubt and suspicion.  It is amazing how few people ever can see through their own inner motivations.  These are our permanent stock in America. We are about control by fear, but this is no horror movie, this is real life.  Lets take it!

People.  Keep up the good work!

Thank you.

Now where is that metaphorical blood bank of heath care?  I need to make a withdrawal; squeeze a few more of the insured out of their winnings.

Oh. Don’t you know?

I’m looking for a new home where the action is.  Got a piece of land in China I’m scoping out.  You’d be surprised how many of us are putting up a roost there as well.  Get to where the flow is people, or be a looser and get siphoned out.

The Political Right And The New Turnip Truck

The Political Right And The New Turnip Truck

-

Observing the quest for truth being presented from the conservative right wing is quite like being yelled at in the middle of the night to not look at the sun.  The one shouting pointing at the moon, veins rising in the neck while pasting on a calm face; Don’t look at the sun!  It will blind you!  Be afraid!  Be very afraid!

Now it seems patently disingenuous to use hypotheticals and imaginary imagery, as I have just done, to point out contradictions in politics; they simply are not the facts on the ground.  So why is it that, as I have done here, conservative right wingers are doing this kind of false analogy, convoluted metaphor, and irrelevant context seemingly no stop?  Where is this strategy headed and to who’s head is it aimed?

Answer; those just falling off of the Turnip Truck.

Conservatism, in a changing world, is forced to redefine its “permanent” opinion into seemingly new truth.  We have just witnessed Lindsey Graham, for instance, explaining why Americans do not want socialized government medical care, while he himself is covered by such a policy, thank us very much!  His explanation why Americans (72% support government option) will not have a government option is designed for the Turnip Truck—–”…a bureaucrat standing between the patient and the doctor.”  It is actually somewhat reversed, medicare is known to have a much lower bureaucratic cost ratio that private medicine.

The Shill For The Oligarchy Requires Permanently Naive Followers

I know of two people who recently had these incidents happen this year in private medicine; A woman, upon having the first heart attack of her life, was scheduled to be examined two weeks from then for it.  Another woman, having a noticeable new neurological issue develop, was scheduled for examination over 6 months down the road.

Many folks are being fooled by the nature of their actual private health care (corporate socialism).  And unlike Lindsey Grahams search for the fools, WE ALREADY HAVE A CORPORATION STANDING BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND THE DOCTOR,  DUH! And unlike a government in a democracy where you presumably have a say on it all come elections, in the private sphere, your say is to go away.  Good luck with that somewhere else.  Nice having that stand between you and your loved ones life; pay up or die, bye, bye.  Have a nice day.

We see this same pandering to ignorance and blinded suspicion on so many right wing causes; pollution, global warming, international responsibilities, depleting resources, The Liberal Media(*), The Commons, and on… No problem, leave things alone, they will magically fix themselves when a company decides to do something about it to make a good profit.  It is irrationalism fermented into hard suicidal currency by the contents of the Turnip Truck.

In other words, ignorance is a politicians greatest asset, when the truth hurts themselves and who they really serve behind the scenes.  And so the campaigns against knowledge must be waged; inditing intellectuals, damning facts in context, loading the truck with ad-hominem assumption, condemning most all science that is contradictory to conservative presumption.

As Jay Leno once inquired, and I’ll paraphrase; ‘I know of someone who just had their broken arm fixed and it cost him $26,000.00. Wasn’t that just 7 or $800.00 a while back?’  Life is good in the humongous health care industry for the corporate leaders.  It was estimated not long ago that just one man received one out of every 700 spent on health care in the US.  For the opportunist in society; Keep those Turnips coming.  We’ll provide the transportation!

To the above Jay Leno point, conservatives need a cover explanation to become presumed in the culture.  So it will be something like accident lawyers, or malpractice lawsuits, that become assumed to be the cognitive dissonant alleviating cause of higher hospital cost.  Never profit, corporate bureaucracy, and the profiteering stock bottom line industry driving civilization to the cliff of sustainability.  Government get out of the way!

The objective of the Turnip Truck industry of conservatism is to keep truth at bay on the curb, ignorance in charge, and attitude as guide.  They will behave thus, while insisting we must hop on-board their ride to success.

{Now I get more sarcastic}

Oh yeah; and keep pointing out the bad bad ways of all liberals; See.  I told you so. This one just pointed out the bad ways of some conservatives and we can’t have that.  It’s us or them, see.  It’s black or white, see. It’s a false dichotomy, see.

Gassed Up!

There.  Check the rear view mirror and drive on.  We are on a mission!

Oh?  Drive right over that existential relativism we use to mark the road. It is about getting to where we are going.

Chasing our ideology?  How the highways of circular reasoning are paved.

To quote a few lines form the group Genesis; “There’s too many men, too many people. Making too many problems. And there’s not much love to go around. Can’t you see this is the land of confusion? …”

* The Liberal Media would be proof of a Free Press.

The only other way to approach a free press would be to have some kind of objective one where all viewpoints and interest had equal access.  That would seem to requite some kind of national mandate or other institution yet to be created.  Does anyone seriously consider the answer to the proposed “Liberal Mainstream Media” would be a conservative one?  Really?  That is not consistent with freedom of speech nor likely democracy or other liberal institutions that manifest America.

We have an essentially Corporate Press which uses aspects of liberalism to its advantage for making money mostly.  To not have a liberal press would likely be more like Iran, China, or North Korea, they are against proving your freedom by having a truly liberal press.  Oligarch’s there are for conserving their own power at public expense.

More Root Canal

Whoopee! Another 2 hours for the same tooth. I may well end up spending an 8 hour day on this one tooth. No. This dentist person does not use laughing gas.

Now for the root canal viewers good news.

I have had a colonoscopy done without pain medication, which was not nice, but not at all as bad as some tooth work.

Then I recently had a video done of my bladder. They do not do pain medication on that one, but for me, it was quite painful, especially since the issue ends up being exactly where the video camera goes. Unfortunately for me, it only gets worse.

The rest of the day and night into the next day was an exercise in ripping a long cut open every time I had to use the bathroom. It is never nice expelling blood while you watch either. That ended up being almost worse than even old fashioned root canals were. Makes me wonder why I was given only this nothing to it warning that there would be a little brief pain. The urologist happened to have a student learning the ropes there. That prolonged the event much longer than it otherwise would have been, as he took a descriptive trip through my interior domains.

So. All you facing a root canal, it is nothing these days compared to some procedures. Even the Novocain injections are not the trial they once were, since they likely will give you some topical numbing first.

Root Canals? They are a piece of cake!

Wait.

Forget the cake.

It will only move you more near to your next tooth mining extravaganza.

A PAINFUL BITE

I am once again thrown back to the old days, days when I could not play for fear of throbbing pain at night. I tried to get this tooth taken care of a year and a half ago. On a side x-ray you could see a third root was bitten. I got the antibiotics, and just near the end of the bottle the pain was gone, but off to the poor peoples dentist I went. (Always finish your prescriptions as instructed!) They took x-rays, no problem except two other teeth needed to come out. I said; there is a molar root the front view does not see. They looked at me like I was telling them their business.

My old fillings from forty years ago, replaced about twenty ago, were getting questionable. One replaced root canal was abscessed and had to go. This dentist tested my response with hot oil or something on that tooth I came there about. I thought; but the antibiotics eliminated the source of pain from hot and cold. I told them over and over; we need a picture from the side, that is were the problem is. I came here for the root canal, he (dentist) said; we don’t do those here. More recently when getting a filling, I told the new dentist about the whole issue. He said they do root canals there.

Many trips and much expense later, and still the original problem was not addressed. Now, a few whole mouth cleanings past, just as the weekend came, so did the soreness, escalating much faster than before. My neck glands have begun to swell. I have pain swallowing, and can only eat very soft things, like mush.

I am back to the throbbing, like so often 45 years ago. For this while, I will remember the neglect, the living with it cause there is no money to fix it. I recall the desperate hiding of the pain, being up most all night, then going off to school with nearly black eyes. I could only chew in a few small spots in my mouth most of my teenage years.

I have had several teeth taken out at once in my teens, some being without Novocaine since I had both the legal limit and abscesses that would not let the painkiller circulate in. I have touched the misery many an ancestor had, in this time between process foods advent and the some advance in painkilling, past being drunk unconscious and the problem just yanked out while you were held down. People once died from mere tooth extractions, due to resulting deep infections eating away into their system.

The best health care system in the world! (repeat over and over)

Don’t be fooled. In the big rush to see as many patients as possible, many live in pain and come down with life threatening issues while in the hospital. There, where even millionaires who break a hip, suddenly find their body shutting down from hospital born infections misdiagnosed or found too late. Then overreacted treatment, or given drugs to slow down digestion because there is a shortage of nurses to tend to you. From a mere hip incidence, I know of someone right now at the edge of life, now part of intestinal system gone for good, family flying in on rotations to tend to them. All that seeming to hinge on a lack of nurses. Oh no! We cannot have single payer health care! It will ruin the best system in the world! Right. Suckers!

Corporate bottom lines in the end, are drawn atop the bodies run over in the rush to get CEO’s and stockholders their gambling pyramid schemes socialized rewards.

WHO IS HOLIER THAN WHO? VOTE THE MOST HOLY ONE!

WHO IS HOLIER THAN WHO? VOTE THE MOST HOLY ONE!

I looked at my tag list again, and since it has politics; liberal and conservative in it, I get to read how humbly but absolutely certain we are, that we are on the side of good and honest. You, on the other hand, I do not wish comment from. I write my polemic and you keep your punditry out of it. At least I have seen examples today of this proclamation.

HYPOCRISY

Most of us think we are true to ourselves, unless we are purposely lying to someone online. I do not tend to see my own hypocrisy in areas I have not scrutinized closely enough, or where the self protection psychological defense mechanism called cognitive dissonance kicks in to avoid my looking into incongruities in my philosophy or beliefs. That doesn’t make me right however.

Since I value liberalism for its freedom loving, and for some, responsible interconnection to all things, I tend to let liberals slide on our contradictions or blind following of what is said to be a liberal value by someone on liberalism’s side. I do believe that liberals overall, need to listen more closely to conservative interest to try to get to the heart of the matter, which is often a somewhat camouflaged insecurity fear, behind a conserved superiority notion or liberal blame buzz frame.

THAT SAID:

As a human being, I cannot comprehend being against health care for all. Sure, have special care for those who want the freedom to pursue “better” care. Keep the private health care system going for those who can afford it, of course! But do not leave people to die or not have preventative care out of some callus so called moral reason. Who said money equals morals? It was once a conservative tenet, in some old circles, that money if the source of all evil.

LIFE OR DEATH OR IN-BETWEEN

I do not care if for some emotional or dysfunctional disturbed reason, that you cannot or will not work. If we are human, we still care, even if gratitude is not returned. Since when is love and caring a strictly reciprocal “deal” or contract? What kind of humanity is that? Seems like differing space aliens using sign language to trade spaceship parts for their robots.

People who are alive but supported by a society for whatever reason, still pass money on to eat, or one way or another, all the other necessities for existing in society. That contribution does not dead end there. We are willing to spend more on defense than all countries combined, for our insatiable fear of everyone else. But what of helping our own citizens for a tiny fraction of that, who are in trouble for one reason or another? No. I cannot go with you on that, cause I have heard that is not conservative values.

It ends up we help farmers some, yep in “conservative” states. We bail out corporations, some. We get pork deals for our votes, some. We take money from the public till; and as we have seen under the so called conservative breed in recent years, the reality check is, that they are the biggest pork and wildest spenders of all. (I have come to call much conservatism, hyper liberalism.) But do not help someone poor out! That would just encourage them to do nothing!

What kind of consciousness lives in such dichotomy, yet still has the time to point the same finger out at liberals. Would we help pick up an old person who asked for our aid if they fell on the street? Or just walk on by as to not interfere with Gods will? Well check the hand while pointing, cause three are pointing back at your own heart.

THE WEDGE CUTTING MACHINE

Since World War Two, conservatives (their manipulators) have been out to “warlordise” the population into post industrial feudal systems. Especially in the last thirty some years, huge fortunes have been spent to breed conservative “ideals” or “values” into the direction of the opportunist and predator. It has become lazy and easy to be conservative because there is such a deep well of ad hominem logic poured into the airwaves and out of “think tanks” and even pulpits, to make sure money and blame seems to be closer to Godliness.

I can get my teeth fixed and my heart looked after if I inherited, stole, have a rich relative maybe, or hard earned enough money to. If not; too bad loser. Is that the high ground conservatism sticks its post into? It is, if one is against health care for all. Or else one is a misanthrope. Much vocal conservatism these days, seems more founded on quicksand.

THE DRY ROT OF CIVILIZATION

I have come to call conservatism the dry rot of civilization, because it eats away ones humanity from the inside out. You can look responsible, dress nicely, have a golden home over the sea, go to church and agree at the terrible state of a permissive society, do all that and be hollow inside.

Someone posted recently, quite a list of prominent conservatives who changed sides on specific issues as soon as it hit their family ( ex. Mrs. Reagan and stem cell research). I believe many conservatives are hiding stealthily behind a hardened heart, listing, thanks to propaganda, many attributes about withholding here and withholding there. The whole tax and spend wedge frame is fraudulently placed solely at the liberals door. Are soaring oil profits not putting any dent in your wallet? How about global warming and depletion of resources and pollution?

But when the storm hits, or a beggar pulls them out of a burning car and gives them the shirt off of his back. Well then, some floodgate opens inside. Our common humanity and connection comes rushing out.

It is not about tough love or hard love. It is what happens when one allows into ones life; unconditional Love.

WHEN LIFE BECOMES PROBLEMATIC

There is that illusion in youth that one is immortal if healthy. Years take an eternity to go by. I remember once hearing a boy say, his friend with him is an old friend of his; they knew each other 9 months.

We stretch our limits physically; how fast can I run, jump, climb, at least many boys do. Girls have some of their own physical feats; sometimes like the boys, or other games, jump-rope, hop-scotch(?), even tumbling and other daring doo’s, that boys might rather not be “shown up” at.

I first hurt my neck when 5 or so, secretly. When 16, I was knocked out after catching a football in a parking lot. I went over the roof of a car and landed on my head. Being “out” was curious, being that I was in a black void, wondering how I find myself, looking for my senses. There was nothing but a desperate search. Things started to turn on in strange ways, hearing in color, until everything snapped into place and you could use your muscles.

I first hurt my lower back when diving off of a high dive while I was recovering from “walking pneumonia”. It was a bad choice to go to that pool, but my older cousin invited me and I hardly ever went anywhere for fun. I loved bounding off the end of the board as high as I could.

In my early twenties was the first time my lower back “snapped” when I picked up a dropped fork, (after the prior days digging up and turning over of the whole back yard in California, huge clay chunks, some prob. one and one half by two feet thick), leaving me with those ten days of no improvement, can not lift much of anything. It is a struggle to get out of bed, then have to walk like a stick not allowing any leaning forward or backwards, or sideways.

In about 3 weeks I was back to normal, but never the same, since that crippling extreme has happened half a dozen times in my life fully, and dozens more in a milder one week recovery way. Now I can usually tell how I get into this situation and try to stop what I am doing before that. That is then only a day or two of back swelling, sweating, or stiffness. Unfortunately, the neck and lower back are connected. I most always have to not bend my head when getting into cars, or the lower back might pop.

Later in life, I went on to work in construction. sometimes doing strange stunts like carrying a five eighths thick four by twelve foot sheet of sheet-rock balanced on the middle of my head to install it up on scaffolds onto a businesses ceiling. What a pain; balancing, aligning to edges, trying to use a hand to put a screw, or start a nail with.

I did this once to get our half hour lunch ended, since no “boss” was there and guys were still talking 40 min later, lounging on the floor. I was hired to work as I promised, so I did. Usually that would wake the others up from their mid day vacation. That is how I have been; I will sacrifice myself to achieve some promised ends in the face of difficulty, even if others sit by watching.

In my late thirties, as the main “clerk” in a huge warehouse in Tucson, I might lift and carry from 50,000 to 100,000 lbs. of boxed cotton goods (boxes often 80-115lbs) in one not so unusual day. All for about 1 dollar over minimum wage. My back went out once big time there. I told the manager, who then put me on another detail. I could feel my back leaking inside. In about an hour I could not hold my hands up in front of me without extreme pain. That started a 3 week no party of a vacation.

By my mid fifties; carrying a three quarter inch think sheet of MDF board (4′-8′) on my head to get it into my narrow trucks camper top and gate opening got more and more difficult. After several of these my neck seems no longer what it was. Now I cannot use it at all for a prop post.

Moral of the story being that; depending on use, some parts of your body can suffer from experiences at an early age, or leave you with a surprise chronic pain later. In case all you athletes thinking the possible thrilling abuse will not be met again later as the aging surprise. Surprise! There are birthday surprises that may be coming to a body near you. A gift that keeps on giving.

HARD WORK AND ITS SACRIFICE FOR ALL

Throughout the culture we have some people using muscle and or being in positions that will have them regretting it later, but for many, that job was what they could get, and they might even become loyal to it, to their later detriment. The culture requires this work to be done.

These people may not have the ability to pay for health care. If you do not believe society (which depends for its existence on these people just as if they were the military) if you do not believe society owes them the decency for their service and sacrifice to it. Well you might be considered one off those heartless Darwinian conservatives, that are enlisted into Pavlovian response come election time, to blame the physical effects on the decisions of the one who sacrificed themselves; because it was their choice! Not only that. But why should I then offer anything to those suffering individuals since I knew better; was hereditary endowed (physically or monetarily), avoided hard work or difficult military service. We see this, the proud and righteous anti tax perception, promoted by predatory opportunist, as a moral value in the society. Down with the Nanny State!

This is an example how the greediness endemic to the alienated-separated individual, can be used to pivot their perception from full life connection, to defending oneself from responsibility to the whole. If one is kept in the perception of economic stress and or ego non accountability to other parts of society, which constitute the whole, I can think I am standing up for moral self accountability BY NOT ACKNOWLEDGING OR RETURNING THE SACRIFICE OTHERS HAVE GIVEN FOR MY OWN VERY LIFESTYLE AND PRIVILEGE TO BE PROTECTED AND CARED FOR IN THIS COUNTRY.

Imagine it. Conservative pundits right now as I type, are well paid to tell society that those homeless (yes, even from the military) living under bridges or a box in the alley, are mentally unfit and so beyond our province to help. That is the conservatives own mental illness of separation, often disguised as pride and moral, even spiritual superiority, to help shove someones life out of sight and out of mind. Their consciousness of the whole that is; amputated.

But this was to be a note on my life from yesterdays travels.

I avoid going to dentist and doctors, so yesterday was a special treat to see both.

Now from the doctor, I must make appointments for three specialist in differing fields. Isn’t that special. I also have another filling gone bad and have an appointment for that one. I did not know I was going to be getting x-rayed yesterday, so that was another surprise for the pocket book.

Gem Show

The tiny bit of the Tucson Gem and Mineral and Everything else Show one can see in two hours, was interesting in that there are many new kinds of stone and craft work suddenly all over, with an increasing shift, where I was at, towards Asian items.

Poetry

The poetry reading was fun. I read the poems I have put on this site, which are in some strange ways different than my usual. I just write them and post them, sometimes going back and finding mistakes or awkwardness from the process of hurrying things on-line, or speaking to interest of my concept of who is writing poetry in general on my tags. Live and learn. That is what I have heard.

There were quite a number of newcomers to that reading, all seniors. Every writer is distinctly different. I sometimes enjoy particularly the straight forward from life ones from someones past, telling of some slice of life impression, fond or difficult memory. No fancy razzle dazzle word usage, just insight. Which is just so very much; a whole lot!

It is warming up an I am contemplating making a longer and less high dam on that small stream I mentioned many post back. The one with the one dam I already made last week. I often have to judge the price I will pay for lifting 94 pound bags of cement then walking sideways downhill with them. Plus all the mixing and shoveling.

Sometimes if a thing is to ever get done, you just go up to it, and do it.

From the nations last line.
