Their ego's are too dam big!&lt;br&gt;  Americans think that what they do is the best, better then everyone, including&lt;br&gt;  our broken health care system!!! There are 45 million uninsured Americans living&lt;br&gt;  here in the so called highly advance society that looks out for their people?&lt;br&gt;  Where are those so called obstructionist zealots that had the OCD complex&lt;br&gt;  and wanted welfare mothers to get jobs, because they were too darn smart,&lt;br&gt;  and new what was best for those babies! Surely, our service jobs that pay &lt;br&gt;  minimum wages, will help those families maintain a normal viable lifestyle?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  The mentality of US Corps: go plant your manufacturing firm in China now,&lt;br&gt;  because you can hire people as puppets for 35 cents a hour, instead of&lt;br&gt;  $7.50. per hours. Let US Corporations outsource all the good jobs outside&lt;br&gt;  to China, then China will loan us more money, so we can dig a deeper hole&lt;br&gt;  into our deficit and then they can call on those notes and take us over!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  If private business is left to their own demise, then that's exactly what&lt;br&gt;  will happen. Like GM and the big Auto makers in Michigan, they were left&lt;br&gt;  to their own demise and look at them now! Begging from our tax money&lt;br&gt;  to stay alive! So if these huge Corporations are allowed to have their&lt;br&gt;  hands in the cookie jar, why can't programs for individuals be more forthright&lt;br&gt;  for the American people, like Health Care Reform! It's time that we the people&lt;br&gt;  elect Representative and Senators that reflect our way of thinking and not&lt;br&gt;  the big corporate elite way of thinking! Afterall, it is our blood, sweat and tears&lt;br&gt;  that grew those free enterpises, we call Corporate Capitalism! It should be called Corporate Corpocracy, a wonderful book written by Dr. Douglas Lloyd, an inventor and&lt;br&gt;  scientist who help put Apollo on the moon! He talks about how the political culture of&lt;br&gt;  America must be changed if we are to survive as a society. However it is an enourmous task to change a culture from one of political corruption to one of serving the interests of the people!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  He states,"Once we reconginze the problem of political corruption and do something&lt;br&gt;  to change it, creative thinkers will come up with various ideas that can be used to&lt;br&gt;  start the process. One recommended step is the acceptance that the goal for&lt;br&gt;  all should be the "Societal Wealth of Nations" rather than Adam Smiths' powerful&lt;br&gt;  but outdated "Wealth of Nations".  That no one can be rich unless there is&lt;br&gt;  development of each nation's human capabilities!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  If you only have the rich feeding the rich and not helping the less privileged,&lt;br&gt;  then what do we have? A vicious cycle! We must teach those who need teaching, help&lt;br&gt;  those who have difficulty helping themselves, cloth and feed those who need  &lt;br&gt;  help. These are basic Christian values! Where have they gone under this&lt;br&gt;  prior adminstration? Maybe the right wing conservatives need to re-organize&lt;br&gt;  under the Christian principles again that once made them strong to begin with!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stargazer57</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:02:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699</title><link>http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699#comment-14749485</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Listen Mr. US Citizen,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For many years, we were forced to eat the words of&lt;br&gt;President George Bush. His failure to react in a human&lt;br&gt;way towards Katrina convinced me this man is evil!&lt;br&gt;And all those who supported this past President needed&lt;br&gt;to have their heads examined! So if poverty is even more&lt;br&gt;rampant, it's because of the Bush's administration's ineptitude to help those at the bottom of the totem pole!&lt;br&gt;The rich and poor divide grew even wider under George Bush!&lt;br&gt;Plus they funded two wars that had no benefit to our&lt;br&gt;country men! A false lie and two wars based on greed and&lt;br&gt; the Halliburton war machine along with Blackwater's greed&lt;br&gt;to capture non-bidding contracts (illegal when using gov't funds) so the poor soldier boy can losing his life for a fruitless cause, to "Spread Democracy"? Where were the weapons of mass destruction? There were none, because it was all a ploy to get a country to pay for 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Now we are in Afghanistan to help propagate the poppy fields so that drug money can keep supporting two unjustified wars and our beautiful young American boys, 18 yrs old and older, can die for our just cause of spreading the seeds of war! Don't get me started!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stargazer57</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:29:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699</title><link>http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699#comment-14748659</link><description>&lt;p&gt; Maybe you should Mr. US Citizen!&lt;br&gt; It might breathe new life into you&lt;br&gt; and you might grow a conscience! &lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stargazer57</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:17:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699</title><link>http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699#comment-14748454</link><description>&lt;p&gt; At what point should we stop criticizing CEO of Health Care Insurance companies, if&lt;br&gt; they willfully and arrogantly take from the poor (deny simple health coverage procedures&lt;br&gt; so as to benefit their wallets) so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer! I say never&lt;br&gt; stop criticizing your point of view, because it's your right to do so! Freedom of Speech!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  The mentality of this attitude, "That I owe nothing back to society, because I'm able&lt;br&gt;  to draw up new legal loop holes to consistently make my wallet fatter!" is crimminal!!!&lt;br&gt;  It's like the banking system preying on the sub-prime market, to ultimately prosper&lt;br&gt;  at the expense of the poor! They new this was going to happen before they even&lt;br&gt;  sold their new fangled mortgages, such as the 1% to 2% offers with five year ballons!&lt;br&gt;  Pay up at the end of five years or your out of your home, cause we will foreclose!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  If each and every individual cared only for themselves and we didn't have a not for&lt;br&gt;  profit fire dept or a not for profit organization helping those in need, where would&lt;br&gt;  this society be? Hell in a hand basket!! More than likely!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stargazer57</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:12:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699</title><link>http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699#comment-14747563</link><description>&lt;p&gt; What I have learned in the past, by forming a not for profit called the Pocono Environmental Coalition and Wildlife Society, and almost singlehandedly stopping&lt;br&gt;the once active Bethlehem Steel from selling off it's property to an entrepenuer&lt;br&gt;to put a chemical plant in a wetland is this: that where ever there is an opening&lt;br&gt;or a loop hole, someone will abuse it for the sake of greed! Everyone told me&lt;br&gt;in our battle that we wouldn't win, because there was no zoning! Well, let me&lt;br&gt;tell all of those wannabe activists who are afraid to open their mouths, because&lt;br&gt;their own fear has them enslaved! A few good people that will stand up for a good&lt;br&gt;cause, will get the support of those who also believe in a good cause! Health&lt;br&gt;Care Reform is needed today, for the sake of many! Show me an outstanding&lt;br&gt;empathetic President who looks out for the poor and those who have difficulty&lt;br&gt;helping themselves and I will show you a great President! Because those poor,&lt;br&gt;with a little support, may become more self-sufficient, once given the proper&lt;br&gt;health care and educational support! We must strive to help all people of this&lt;br&gt;country to make it even greater! We must teach ourselves to believe in our&lt;br&gt;own power! Unity under one just cause like Health Care Reform is a worthy cause!&lt;br&gt;Join me  in exercising your right to build a better America! Write to Elizabeth&lt;br&gt;and extend your hand to me, I will help you cross the bridge to self-realization of&lt;br&gt;one's own power! Power to the People! Ready twobuild@ptd.net. Let's do it together!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stargazer57</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:48:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699</title><link>http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/?p=71699#comment-14741137</link><description>&lt;p&gt; Dear Mr. Stephen Hemsley,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;            You are in my book another Bernie Madoff! Why? Because you have no conscience&lt;br&gt;sir! Your company should be bankrupted by the people who buy into it! When are the people of America going to realize that real change, like free health care to all, is a God&lt;br&gt;given right! Why can't we offer health care initiatives that help cure people, instead of&lt;br&gt;making them sick, because the elderly have to choose between buying food or paying&lt;br&gt;their health care bills! Why aren't these big CEO's of these HMO's and big health care&lt;br&gt;corporations run out of town? They don't deserve to breathe the same air that we&lt;br&gt;law abidding citizens breathe. They are corrupt and self centered and without a heart&lt;br&gt;if they have turned a policy of denying coverage to the simpliest of procedures,&lt;br&gt;and made that lucractive on the backs of ordinary citizens! They finally got caught&lt;br&gt;with their hands in the cookie jar, and they are overdosing from greed on the backs of&lt;br&gt;ordinary citizens! WE NEED REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM TODAY,  BEFORE MORE HUMAN LIVES ARE JEOPARDIZED, SO THE RICH CAN GET RICHER AND THE POOR WILL BECOME POORER! WHERE IS THE HUMAN JUSTICE? Send your comments to Elizabeth G. at&lt;br&gt;twobuild@ptd.net.
