I Have a Question!

If I don’t want to buy auto insurance what do I do?

Tough question huh?

How do I side step the state requirements for auto insurance, don’t drive! I could take a taxi, (I live in an area that would take much too long to walk anywhere). I could ride the bus, that would certainly get me where I’m going. If I did live in an area where every thing was closer I would walk, matter of fact there was a time when I did just that. I could even ride my bicycle. So with these options for opting out of the system I have in a sort, freedom! The freedom that is granted by our fore fathers. This brings me to my point.

How can I drop out of a national health plan that requires us to have insurance? How can I walk? Much like my former comments, if I don’t want to pay for the national health care, is there a bus I can ride? Or could I ride my bicycle? The answer will be NO!!

So if I’m not mistaken the new cost of my citizenship will be between sixteen hundred to thirty two hundred dollars. If this happens all will be lost. How can our government become so over powering as to charge us to live in America. People will say that the cost is to help the poor have coverage. Well we will not cure stupidity now will we? If we could then I might just pay to live in a country that could do just that, cure stupidity.

Now please don’t get me wrong I’d give my life to ensure the freedoms of our country, to maintain the security of it’s citizens. But I really can’t come up with the annual dollar I’d pay if we must put a price on citizenship. I think that we will loose more then we will gain with a mandatory charge for health care.

So I have a question!

The Man for the Job,

Any one who thinks that President Obama isn’t doing a good job has got to be blind! Man, O-man! He has certainly done the job he set out to do. First thing that comes to mind is the fact that he said he would set heavy guild lines for our banking structures. And this he has. Not alone but, through the political machine that was already in place in the House of Representatives and the Senate, none the less he has done that. Then he said in way to many ways, he was going to make fossil fuels so expensive that no one could afford it, thus creating the need for so called green technology. That was done with cap and trade. That’s two major projects out of the way, I’m sure he said in a non answer, ever evasive way, that he would end the war definitively. This he did by doing nothing then changing the name. Next he said he’d raise taxes’. He tried to explain to use (when we started to gripe) that only the rich would pay a hire tax, that was false.

So after all this, how can anyone say that president Obama isn’t doing a great job? I would even say that he’s achieved more of his personal agenda them most of the presidents that I’ve lived under. Problem is he is also driving us to a socialist nation, and in this case he’s The Man for the Job.

What Do You Deserve?

I’ve been thinking about a word that bugs me.

Now any one who knows me knows that I don’t believe in a few words like, accident, luck, entitled, and special. Recently I’ve really been bothered by a word. The word is, deserve! What does this word mean? Well to me it means some one thinks they should get something for either a return of an applied effort or by some right given to them; i.e.being.worthy. Now I’m pretty sure that I’m correct. Problem is we all ready have a word that describes why we get things that we have, it’s earned! I have nothing that I deserve, nothing that was given by right or worth. Even my pay is earned. If I was given what I (so called) deserved I would be wealthy (far beyond my modest miens). I would have a brand new motor cycle, car, home, clothes, shoes, and so on! See what I mean? No? OK then, let me tell you that people have not only told me that I’m a hard working man, but people I’ve worked with in the past have sent word through my siblings and friends that I am truly a hard worker. If this is true (which I like to believe it is), then don’t I deserve the things that I listed? Believe me or not, I think I’ve received things that I have earned. I don’t have a motor cycle, my car is a 1986-7 Volvo, I rent a small house, and the clothes I’ve owned for years. These are all things I have bought with hard earned money. Not money I deserve. So I guess I’ll add deserve to the list of words that I’ll not likely use.

Accident, some thing caused by no fault

Luck, random occurrence from chance alone

Entitled, received from by right of birth

Special, as though your better

Deserve. granted by some one

A Matter of Perception

Truth ! ! !

This is about perceptions and how we call them truth.

I recently had a conversation (internet chat) with one of my many nieces. She got on to the subject of truth and that there is only one truth!

Now I have to tell you she has recently found God in her life. This is a good thing and I’m happy that she found something to believe in that will steer her towards a life of faith. I am known for being one of deep faith. I always have been.

My point was that the perception of truth is a personal thing. My comment to her was not to shake her beliefs or to undermine the teaching that her church has presented her. I gave her a good point of reasoning. Or so I thought. I tried to tell her that with so many various Christian faiths we have an example of different truths. I pointed out the truth of the Buddhist, Jews, and Muslims are right to them. Now all but the Buddhists have the same deity. So I told her that this is an example of how God gave us the power of choice, and with this choice we have all moved to join others who believe the same truth. Their truth! Or at least how they perceive it.

The only problem is that the same people who say they believe in the so called true word of God are the same ones who are closed to others truths.

Now I have one thought for all those who believe or don’t. My truth is just that, mine, as well as that your truth is yours. True???
