Rumors and hearsay are not accepted in Court. Which is closer to the truth:
“I feel like…”, “I think…” or
“I HAVE GONE TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE AND KNOW IT IS TRUE?”
Self-deception: denying the relevance or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument.
“SEARCH TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.”

THE PROS AND CONS OF THE PUBLIC OPTION…
August 12th, 2009
In “The Perils of the Public Plan,” Paul Starr warns that a public-insurance option could turn into exactly the opposite of what progressives want. Here he discusses the problems with the Prospect’s two other co-founders, Robert Kuttner and Robert Reich.
Paul Starr:
According to last week’s Washington Post, the public option is the “crux” of the health-reform debate and the “greatest challenge” for Senate negotiators to overcome. That’s an accurate description of the current political scene, but it’s true only because so many people, including members of Congress, are responding ideologically to the ideaof government involvement.
The public option is not the biggest question in reform. Under the proposals being considered, it would be offered only within insurance exchanges at the state and regional level. The far bigger question is how those exchanges work:

HEALTH CARE REFORM MAY SAVE FAMILY HOME
August 12th, 2009
After my parents passed away back in the 1990s, my siblings and I were forced to sell our family homestead in Rosenhayn to pay for two liens placed on it by Bridgeton Hospital for hospital care. My father died in 1992 at age 62, and my mother died at age 60 in 1997. Both were ineligible for Medicare.
It was not easy selling the house we all grew up in, especially with a new generation of family having recently arrived who will want to see the house we grew up in. But we had no choice.
Which is why I’m in favor of this new health care reform proposal being debated in Congress, with a public option where people such as my parents who couldn’t afford standard health insurance can buy coverage from the government at a much lower cost.
I don’t know how anyone can be against a public option. Those against it say it’s socialized medicine, when in truth you don’t have to purchase the public option if you already have and are currently satisfied with your present coverage. With the public option in the market, and judging by the laws of economics, the rates to your coverage will most likely go down because of the public option creating competition in the market.
If we had this public option when my parents were alive, our family would probably still have our home to share with our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Since we don’t, maybe this opportunity would save some other family’s home from the same fate.

WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIANS…..
August 5th, 2009
Beatitudes–Their Significance And Meaning
They are simply stated, but are profound in meaning. They guide. They point. They teach. They show us the values that Christ cares about. These values if followed, can not only bring a believer into a state of peace and happiness, but also right into the Kingdom of God after our journey on this earth is over. The Latin word for blessed is beatus, from which we get the word beatitude.
The beatitudes are found at Matthew 5: 3-12
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall possess the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Because all of you are one in the Messiah Jesus, a person is no longer a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a male or a female.
http://bible.cc/galatians/3-28.htm
Our problem is that we have too many old testament Christians? Under law instead of grace.
Gal 3:23-25 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor (teacher for the immature).”
We, as supposed followers of Christ, have been set free from the right and wrong of the law to follow the ETERNAL SPIRIT within us.
THE ETERNAL CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF OUR UNIVERSE

And the Truth will set You Free.”
