accountability tax

8.14: co.apt/pol/health care/accountability tax:

. instead of rationing, we should collect more taxes

on exactly the foods that cause the most damage .

. tag every food and drug with an insulin resistance index

and a glycemic index .

. some of the venom behind rationing is racial;

because the people who don't get medicare are the chronically unemployed,

who are mostly the racial minorities .

[12.27:

. one problem with this is that

people could understandably be livid

supposing this glycemic index is the next cholesterol scare:

what if it was all just the industrial (mental) disease?

. there should be manditory health insurance,

but there should be plans for those who

believe that glycemic index makes a difference,

and who will not ask for glycemic-related care .

. let our money talk the American way .

8.25: co.apt/pol/health care/preventive outreach:

. cancer prevention needs to start with kids diet

which can only be changed by controlling what's available to them:

right now that diet is controlled strictly by the stock market

and the social psychosis:

eg, green light go!

(everyone's oblivious to the dangers of trusting green lights) .

. another reason you could never expect people to diet rationally,

is that there has been so much news about

diet being only a small factor in the

total environmental causes of cancer .

9.9: co.apt/health/look experts telling you, can't wait for obama care:

http://www.sweetsurprise.com/myths-and-facts/faqs-high-fructose-corn-syrup/obesity

. is there a correlation between the introduction

of high fructose corn syrup and the rise of obesity

in the past 30 years?

Many factors contribute to the development of obesity,

yet nutritionists, health experts and researchers generally agree

that the chief cause is an imbalance

between calories consumed and calories burned.

. have they ever heard of thyroid resistance,

or jetfueling sugar maybe causing it?

. I hardly eat anything and I'm too tired to exercise?

that's your thyroid ignored in that equation .

The American Dietetic Association notes,

Excess body fat [obesity] arises from the energy imbalance caused by

taking in too much energy and expending too little energy. ...

. look at these expert panels,

I can hardly wait for obama care .

10.15: co.apt/pol/sin tax on fattening foods:

. after hearing that neither side of the debate

feels that a sin tax is warranted,

I'm ranting:

. keep gov out it? what about

it's already ok to tax for charity health care?!

[it's esp'ly the poor who get the most fattening foods

because those are the cheapest

(flour, corn syrup, hydrogenated soy fat) .]

11.17: news.pol/healthcare/metabolic syndrome:

Risk factors for metabolic syndrome, such as

obesity, high blood pressure, and elevated blood lipid levels,

can increase a person's healthcare costs nearly 1.6-fold,

or about $2,000 per year.

For each additional risk factor those costs rise an average of 24%,

according to an illuminating article in a recent issue of

Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders .

cap and tax

8.9: news.pol/cap and tax:

. some of the same forces opposing the health care reform
are also angry with cap-and-tax as being a job loser .
. it's a tax to promote the use of
energy sources that don't contribute to global warming
-- this is a big deal to the rest of the world
although a major initial drawback is that
there is not getting china to cooperate
and they will continue to get our jobs
unless we also have some laws that keep our corparations
employing our citizens .
. the gov could use the tax money to invest in better energy sources
so the long-term prospects of this bill are very good;
but the current players are going to lose their fat seats .
. heritage.org paints a bleak picture of huge job loses 20years out .

. a wall st jou editorial
says we either cut services
or we are going to need to tax the middle class more .
Obama Drops Health Care Reform 8/4/2009
wsj is saying the admn is saying the new strategy is not health care
but health insur needing reform
-- demonizing an industry?
they need regulation just like cities need police .
. manditory insurance is the main target .
. wsj (Weight of the Nation 8/3/2009)
talked about the staggering costs of our nation gaining so much weight
esp'ly since the advent of corn syrup in all the food since the 70's .
. safeway started an accountability campaign
where the employees got cheaper health premiums for keeping weight .
. getting weight is much less invasive than getting blood lipid numbers!

freedomworks.org on health care
. "(Trial lawyers, government mandates, and tax code distortions
are what is making health care too expensive )?
they must be kidding!
if a society insists on manditory health care,
they must pay for it either with charity (gov)
or manditory health insurance .
. in case you couldn't find an advocate for vampires,
here it is at freedomworks.org:
"(

it was revealed that massive beverage tax hikes are planned
to fund part of the $1.5 trillion dollar tab
their socialization of health care is expected to run up
over the next 10 years.
Specifically, they're looking at
increasing the tax on a bottle of wine by 233 percent.
The beer tax would go up 145 percent per six-pack.
The liquor tax would go up 19 percent to $2.54 per fifth.
And an entirely new tax is proposed for [sugar-sweetened beverages]
-- including soda, fruit and vegetable dinks, sports drinks,
iced teas and coffees, and flavored milk and dairy drinks.
This planned beverage tax hike
not only leaves *us* with less money during a recession,
it will also be a *job* killer, [mr.job from the bible?]
particularly in the hard-hit hospitality industry, [hospi- what?]
where unemployment is already over 11 percent.
In an industry that has already lost around 400,000 jobs in this downturn,
a new tax that could destroy an estimated 160,000 more jobs
is a terrible idea.

. oh, my god, I just lost another soda !

FreedomWorks` Tea Party Patriots:

"(

The lobbyist-run groups Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks,
which orchestrated the anti-Obama tea parties earlier this year,
are now pursuing an aggressive strategy
to create an image of mass public opposition to health care
and clean energy reform.
A leaked memo from Bob MacGuffie,
a volunteer with the FreedomWorks website Tea Party Patriots,
details how members should be infiltrating town halls
and harassing Democratic members of Congress .

koyaanisqatsi

8.5: rel/pol/movie"koyaanisqatsi:

. this was a sort of documentary showing the forces of nature and man

ravaging the planet .

-- a cult film [someone] was proud to introduce me to .

. it ends with the hiameric predictions and warning:

if we dig precious things from the land,

we will invite disaster .

. near the day of purification,

there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky .

. a container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky,

which could burn the land and boil the oceans .

. it also gave the definition of the movie's title:

In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means

'crazy life, life in turmoil,

life out of balance, life disintegrating,

a state of life that calls for another way of living .

The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography

of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States.

The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration:

its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music.

homelessness

8.3: pol/homelessness:

. I wonder why nobody is addressing the fact that

the bulk of homeless are really people with bad reputations,

being encouraged to fester in our jungles .

. they present them as being mentally ill,

but retiring from a life of crime is a huge culture shift

-- this is the stuff that makes symptoms of mental illness .

. this treatment was what gave birth to the charles manson clan .

wall st watch dogs

8.2: rn.pol/wall st watch dogs:

. throw out both parties?

parties don't have constitutions,

so then both would be replaced by similar parties

because our system has a constitution that attracts such abuse .

. the system should throw out closed-door law making

. law makers should consult academic judges;

we have been burned by lax finance law before,

and historians and economists could have predicted this depression .

. then big twist for money driven by

jungle heat of over-population:

need to make a fair system in return for getting

fair parenting cooperation from the masses .

. if there is a way we could all be wealthy,

there is less reason for wealthy special interests to bribe our law makers .

biblical truths

8.20: psy/biblical truths/be prepared for the unthinkable:

. when G*D promised there would never again be a great flood

that was a warning that the next great catastrophe

to catch most off-guard

would not be something predictable from knowing our history .

. new technology will bring new nightmares .

. meteorites will darken the skies for centuries .

. the sun's death will be survived only by reengineering life for

ultra-distant space travel .

virtually true delusions

8.17: psy/schiz'ia/virtually true delusions:

. delusions that involve persecution by large groups of people?

that could be virtually true,

as everything that is those people

has to come through your mind before it can get to you .

. your mind literally invents everything;

ie, if it wants everyone to be your nightmare,

they will be -- they can not be anything else .

. recreational drugs can make them irrelevant,

and anti-psychotic drugs can make you irrelevant,

but there is no changing who your mind says they are .
