Kind of makes you wonder - how come the other nations seem to gotten it together and at least have health care for all.. What is wrong with the U$A?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[rosemarie,
Dividing, separating, sorting, judging people by people in power may have started even before Urnanshe, the king of sumer. However and whenever judgments started, there had to be a time when people have not judged people.

People, whether short, tall, deaf, blind, dark[e]r, sick, smart, were looked on a people had not, in order to survive and by doing that gave us a life today, cldn&#039;t have but valued one another for simply being people.

But then came along the cunningest, most avaricious, most cruel [probably shamans and clergy] and utterly destroyed the idyllic structure of society.
In modern times, judging people came to its apex.
Judging, and thus discarding people, whom nature/god created, appears as the greatest crime ever perped against humanity.

How cruel-stupid such oppressors can be, events in in palestine, afgh&#039;n, iraq, somalia, and other lands testify.
In fact, US is not governed by a gov&#039;t but by gangsters, a cosa nostra org; behaving  just like a biker, street, or  mafia gang.
The diffference is that US gang is much larger and powerful than the other ones. 
In US such lunacy is actually supported by 98% of pop. tnx]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joseph...Please read my article on this site titled &quot;Your Money of Your Life&quot;.
I do NOT advocate the government takeover of health care. I advocate  the government takeover of the billing. Health care decisions should be made only by doctors and patients - not the government and not insurance companies.
Implied in your statement  is the belief that all citizens should have the money for their own health care or they must be irresponsible. Under our Capitalistic system there is an unfair distribution of wealth and an unfair burden on workers, so therefore many who ARE working hard still cannot afford health care.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The lack of personal responsibility and compassion are blocking real health care reform. We need Reform School for the compassionless. The every-man-for-himself culture was especially evident during the health care town meetings. It was common to hear comments such as, “I am insured – the hell with everybody else”. Raise-the-drawbridge syndrome — I am safe and you don’t count.&quot;

You talk about the death of personal responsibility but yet you advocate total government take over of health care? Where does personal responsibility come up in that equation?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[lichen...thanks for saying that. I too have been disappointed in the way that the left  has trivialized all things &#039;family&#039;. Children, motherhood, and fatherhood  have all been devalued.  Way back in the 60s during the Feminist Movement, my view differed from the popular one. I believed then, as I do now, that there is virtue in the traditional work that women have done over the years.  Every time I say something like that it causes an uproar. 
Of course, I recognize that women have not been treated fairly in society in general and in the workplace. That is why I would have preferred a feminist strategy that valued ALL of the work that women do. Instead the &#039;movement&#039; devalued motherhood. The corporations were the big winners. They got 2 workers for the price of one. Mothers, fathers, and children are still paying a high price for that one. (And yes,  I was a working mother - sole support of my family.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE HUMAN HEART IS A BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THE PROBLEM!
Read Joseph Conrad&#039;s Heart of Darkness or Lord of the Flies by Golding, this IS NOT a new phenomenon!  The philosophising has gone on and on.

On the other hand, it&#039;s hard to separate the wicked heart from the wicked mind- control handlers.  The human brain is like a computer, it can be programed to do all kinds of things.  If you watch a lot of tele you are practically mind controled, or at the very least, brain dead. 

 This is the ultimate in irresponsibility.  There is a reason that these sensational mind-controled shootings are broadcast in minute grisly detail by the American media, and why we are all still hearing about Columbine.  The control the system gets from these events is much more terrifying than the events themselves.  If you do not see how these things are used in the bigger picture you should go and live on the planet where Rosemary and Walt live.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rosemarie, that&#039;s incredible that you started a a children&#039;s rights organization back in the 1970&#039;s.  It always bothers me that even today most on the left refuse to go anywhere near the subject--it is one of a long list of overdue reforms that have never come near us in this horrible land, along with a human right to real housing.  


Actually, I realize now that though I meant what I said about needing election reform, I don&#039;t necessarily excuse all voters--especially not the people who obviously do know better and yet vote for war, environmental destruction, and inequality anyway.   I definitely do blame, further, the members of obama&#039;s delegation who are still &#039;with him&#039; and have already pledged themselves to him for 2012.  And I have suggested a number of times that all those screaming idiots with their &#039;change hope&#039; signs accompany him to the hague where in a just world he would have been prosecuted for war crimes by now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think there is a significant element of cover up to this story and tragically so do so many of those who have been affected by this murderous event. 

From the FBI agent in charge of the event and his son producing a video 2 years before, to the constant death threats towards those injured and those interested finding the truth so that they can find some sort of understanding/completion.  

The boys were called &quot;Neo-Nazis&quot; by the commercial media and yet they were both Jewish.  It seems to contradict with their upbringing.   

There seem to be a lot of contradictions. 

One hopes for those traumatized by this event, there will be some answers that may help them find some sort of resolution.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[lichen...I agree with you. I have dedicated much of my life to advocating for the rights of children. In the 1970s I formed  one of the first organizations dedicated to the rights of children. The organization was named &quot;JUSTICE FOR CHILDREN&quot;. (Since then other organizations chose the same name. They are not associated with me.)

About the sub-prime mortgages. Yes, they always blame the little guy. It would be so much better if they just followed the money.   Col. David Hackworth said at the beginning of the war that in war some people die and some people get rich. The mortgage meltdown is a little like war. Some people got rich and some people became homeless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rosemarie wants to have her cake and eat it, too.  She claims she thinks people are &quot;only responsible for their own acts,&quot; but then wants to blame everybody for not voting like Rosemarie Jackowski, on the theory that holding the vote makes you co-equally responsible for what office-holders do.

What people need is detailed information about how our overlords operate to violate the principles and priorities we want them to uphold.  But Rosemarie doesn&#039;t want to waste her time in this long struggle to find the truth and spread the word.  She has had her own awakening, so she demands that others snap out of it now, despite the oppressive conditions in which they live.  And she is quite ready to blame the little people for not doing it.

Again, how she thinks this is radical, who knows?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Uninformed voting has disastrous consequences. Voters say blame someone else. They say that they do not have time to research the issues. An uninformed voter is dangerous and should stay home on election day. It is better to not vote at all, than to cast an uninformed ballot&quot; she writes 

Indeed , and as far i am aware there is just one political party that every  time it stands for election insists that no-one votes for it unless they understand and accept and want what they want , which is free access socialism . 

It is also a political party that does not have a leader being totally democratic , an organization of equals. Working class emancipation necessarily excludes the role of political leadership. The SPGB and its American companion party WSPUS  has an absolute need of supporters with understanding and self-reliance. Even if we could conceive of a leader-ridden working class displacing the capitalist class from power such an immature class would be helpless to undertake the responsibilities of democratic socialist society.

But these are not  new positions although we have forgotten those tenets  . Eugene Debs  said :-
&quot; I&#039;d rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don&#039;t want, and get it. &quot; - The case against the lesser of two evils argument when it comes to elections - and just how many remember when they have decided upon the lesser evil , that it was indeed an evil !

He also said :-
&quot;I don&#039;t want you to follow me or anyone else. If you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of the capitalist wilderness you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into this promised land if I could, because if I could lead you in, someone else could lead you out.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[rosemarie jackowski  states that &quot;it appears that Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, had a normal childhood&quot;.
i suggest rosemarie that your research is a little lacking.  were you not aware that he was hospitalized at the age of approx. 9 months for several days?
 he was hospitalized at the age of approximately nine months, for several days, as the result of an allergic reaction.   information provided by wanda kaczynski, his mother, however, indicates her perception that his hospitalization was a significant and traumatic event for her son, in that he experienced a separation from his mother (due to routine hospital practices). she describes him as having changed after the hospitalization in that he was withdrawn, less responsive, and more fearful of separation from her after that point in time.   she stated that she did not see her child at all during the hospitalization, on the advice of the doctor, but waited until they called to say that he was being discharged.   she further stated that he had been normal happy baby up until then, he cuddled and cooed and enjoyed all contact with her.  however, when she picked him up at the hospital, she noticed immediately that he had changed. he was withdrawn. he didn&#039;t respond to physical contact. he was aloof and unresponsive. he didn&#039;t smile or cuddle as he had done before. se was never the same. she believes that the hospitalization played a crucial role in his psychopathology.  
it is common knowledge that separation during the crucial early years can be so traumatic to totally ruin the balance and life of a child.  to some, this might not happen, but if the child is predisposed to being very sensitive, the results can be catastrophic and so terribly sad for all involved.
every child/man that hurts others, is himself irrevocably hurt by life.  this is a fact, a dismal horrific fact.  so many millions on our poor planet are hurting and hurting others.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my thinking, if i wld wilfully or unwittingly leave out religion when talking ab. human behavior, i warn readers, i wld be a deceiver.
To talk ab. human behavior and not study the behavior of priests of whatever stripes, is like plowing and plowing and never sowing.

To me, shamans and priests are least sane people. Yet they tell people how to think and what to do. I am unable to come up with the actual degree of deletereous effect  priests have on people&#039;s behavior-thinking-feeling.

Of course, a number of  &#039;teachers&#039;,  having been taught by other &#039;teachers&#039;, pols, and clergy also have a great negative influence on people and on  children more so.

The miseducation by priests, pols, journalists, psychiatrists, &#039;educators&#039;, broadcasters, orgs, doctors, movements, political parties, constitution, jugdges,  think tanks,  and other members of the &#039;elite&#039;  appears so vast and assiduous that only few are able to escape delusional-murderous thinking of ab. at least 99% of any pop and not just american. tnx]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rosemarie, your last reply to me seemed all over the place.   I can only reiterate my plea for altering societies laws and institutions so that the things we know--the mistreatment of children and ignorance of their rights--cause later crimes will exist as little as possible and therefore we will have less incidence of those crimes.   This has has shown in Sweden--for the generations that have grown up there since children were granted full equal rights and corporal punishment was made illegal in 1975, there has been progress.  

Understanding the roots of violence gives us the surest formula for actually ending it, as opposed to just randomly prosecuting it under the explanations of a &#039;christian&#039; evil.   While I do support reform of the prison system towards rehabilitation, I also don&#039;t support simply letting people off the hook, especially not at the top.  There does have to be real measures to stop the lawless violence enacted against young people, which we saw reenacted  upon innocent victims at abu grauib.    Yet this, just like climate change, is a bigger issue involving purposeful reform, and not just a &#039;spiritual matter&#039; for the individual.  

On another note, recently I had an argument with someone about this subject--he insisted I was shockingly negligent for allegedly ignoring the personal responsibility of the victims of subprime mortgages, while i noted he let off the banks scot-free (and he was a free market fundamentalist who wanted more deregulation to allow the banks to commit more crimes...)  So PR can also be used as something really ridiculous.]]></description>
