What else must befall before we turn the Titanic around?  Nuclear war between Israel and Iran?  More war in Iraq and Afghanistan?  More home foreclosures at home?  More Government bailouts?  Do we really like what we have created in hatred and fear?  In the sense of separation?  All are One and One are All, whether it is the Bible, Torah, or the Koran.

There are many things that people don’t want to hear.  Are they ready to listen?  Are they ready to learn?  Are they ready to change their outworn ways?  Only God knows for sure.

Why does everyone automatically go on Medicare at 65?  Even those people who can afford to maintain private policies?  And Social Security for the wealthy is something we can no longer afford nor should we condone.  Why should millionaires be on Social Security anyway?  We can’t afford to do what we’ve automatically done for 60 years.  Times are different.

Subsidizing tobacco farmers when tobacco is a known carcinogen.  Why do we do it?  Much must change and not stay the same for America to be healthy and prosperous again. 

Democracy has floundered.  An oligarchy it has become.  And capitalism in its purest form has become distorted and abusive.  The rich get richer and the poor the same.  Was this really what our Founding Fathers had in mind?  For America has always had its aristocracy of wealth, education, and fame, yet are those portals now to be opened up to everyone else.  An honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage, Detroit to flourish again — maybe.  But then, that is up to them.  For the same-old-same-old of unions and bosses will yield more of the same — ruin — and all must sometimes make sacrifices to begin anew. 

Let Detroit offer incentives to all its workers — without unions.  Let them receive bonuses based on a share of profits, and 401’s tied to stock options.  Let them own a piece of the company instead of tearing it apart.  Productivity will improve instead of slide.  Morale, too, would benefit.  It’s nice to have a vested interest in the welfare of others, instead of just oneself for a change. 

And perhaps a 50% tax for the truly rich, the ones who sheltered income off our shores.  Perhaps that’s how God intends to redistribute the wealth — at least until our national debt is paid off and we are whole again.  For the money was made by pillaging the masses, let them benefit with the chance for a brighter future — for themselves and their children.  It’s part of reinvesting in America so she can be great again.

Is it morally acceptable to make a profit off someone’s pain and suffering?  Is that morally acceptable for a civilized society?  We need to rethink our market-driven economy.  Sometimes that is just a cover-up for greed.

Should someone be paid for their services and expertise?  Of course, within established guidelines.  But doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, insurance companies and others need to be regulated differently than they are now.  It is part of the necessary Reform.

Barack Obama is whitewashing Bureaucracy, and it needs to be gutted and begun anew — leaner, with more ideas for true reform.  It is part of America’s restructuring for the New Millennium. 

How many more people must die in Iraq and Afghanistan?  In our health care system before we’re ready to have meaningful reform?  The status quo must be the status quo no longer for us to flourish and thrive as God intended.

I see what can be — not necessarily what will be — and that has been a source of tremendous frustration.  We can create greatness, or we can continue our downward spiral.  The choice is up to us. 

Without Hope we perish, Hope for a better day and a brighter future.  Optimism is a characteristic of the American people, and that, too, has diminished.  Faith, Hope, and Optimism and America can be great again.  We just need to do things differently and it starts with meaningful Reform.

God did not create our current debacle, He simply allowed it to occur.  And He will not step forward until we are ready to change — our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.  As within, so without and around you. 

People are angry and upset about health care, and they should be.  Here are some suggestions for reform.

We need to get Wall Street out of the health care business.  There are many nonprofit hospitals that serve their communities well.  Why can’t we have not-for-profit health insurance companies and clinics?  We must get profits and stockholders out of our health care reform.  And we must reduce administrative costs.

Why couldn’t group insurance be available to anyone attending a trade or technical school?  Why couldn’t group rates be offered to anyone carrying at least a part-time load at an accredited college?  Why couldn’t health insurance be offered through business organizations and trade groups across state lines?  That would help small business owners and their employees get affordable coverage for themselves and their families.  That would also provide an incentive for our work force to upgrade their education and job skills.  That would also help level the playing field, making health care affordable to millions of Americans.

Pharmaceutical companies should be regulated like utilities, with a cap on profits, and any drugs discovered with the use of public funds should be in the public domain and denied patents.  We have a moral obligation to our citizens.  Their health and well-being must supersede profits.  Much must change to reform our health care system, and are our politicians really willing to do it?

We need to take better care of ourselves and we need to relinquish our fear of death.  That, too, would help to deflate our skyrocketing health care costs.  We are responsible for our health and well-being, concepts we have ignored for too long.

Is it true that 80% of our resources are going toward 20% of our people?  It is upon this we must focus.  It is a beginning to true reform.  And remember, obesity and illness are symptoms of neglect and imbalance in one’s life.

White flour, sugar and alcohol are devoid of nutrients and drain the Life Force in one’s body.  Processed and fried food contribute nothing to one’s health and vitality.  Look to your food as a source of health or a contributor to disease.  This, too, we must acknowledge.  The same-old-same-old will result in the same results — illness and disease.

We need to let go of our victim mentality.  No one “does it to us” without our consent.  We create our lives from the choices we make and the politicians we elect.  And it is time to begin anew.

Body, mind and spirit.  All coalesce as a single unit, nothing separate and distinct.  This we have ignored to our detriment.  Attitudes, actions and behaviors, everything affects everything else, either positively or negatively.  Nothing is neutral, and this we must learn.

We allow the Federal Reserve to keep printing more and more money.  We cannot keep bloating our economy with money that is worth less and less.  We must fix the decay and not throw more money at it.  And Wall Street and our banking system is part of the decay.  Wall Street has become little more than legalized gambling.  And that must end.  Our future economy and solvency depend on it. 

Health care reform must be attacked with a multi-pronged approach, for its implications are massive.  We can ignore it no longer.  But then, this is just my opinion.  Common sense it is called.

Michael Moore’s documentary, Sicko, was discredited by the health care industry.  Let this not be the same.

People are only one catastrophic illness away from bankruptcy — with or without health insurance.  It’s time for Reform.

Do we really like the direction in which we are going?  More and more debt, fewer jobs, more home foreclosures.  Do we really like what we have created?  Isn’t it time to start doing things differently?  Republican or Democrat, it is the same — Big Government and Bigger Business.

We’re in the worst recession since the Great Depression yet entertainers and sports figures are still getting huge multi-million dollar contracts.  I don’t understand.

Acceptance is the key.  We must accept what we have created — individually and as a nation.  We spent too much and saved too little.  We detested delayed gratification instead of respecting it.  We have created a world of instant fame, sometimes based on very little.  And we have created the greatest disparity of income in the world.  This is not the Democracy that our Founding Fathers envisioned. 

But with a sound Plan comes Hope.  We just need the moral fortitude to see it through.

Religion is the doctrine of man.  Love and Compassion is the doctrine of God.  We have worshipped a false god for long enough — the god of money and the god of priests and their hierarchy.  God loves everyone equally — none are superior and none inferior in the healing of God’s Love and Light.

Prophecy is given so that the Enlightened Ones can help avert tragedy.  Many foresee the prophecies of Revelation and that is coming — unless we change.  God always gives us a chance to redeem ourselves. 

One does not have to believe what I say.  Just open your mind to the possibility of Truth.
