It is easier to sit down with the so called "enemy", the the Muslim world, than it is to do with the Republicans. Seems to me that by opposing health care reforms they are giving it back to t he American people for rejecting them lock, stock and barrel. ========================================= Obama Sends "Best Wishes" to Muslims Before the Start of Ramadan August 21, 2009 12:33 PM ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports: In a video message posted on the White House website President Obama extends his “best wishes” to Muslim communities in the US and around the world for Ramadan. ....contd at blogs.abcnews.com

It is very important to understand that everything from criminal activity, to unhealthy lifestyles, are all primarily education relation. This has been confirmed time after time after time. But the last 30 yars of the anti intellectual Republcian party has set us back decades. Had JFK and Bobby Kennedy survived we would be years ahead of where we are intellectually as a society and our problems would not be so bad. And regardless of what anyone says, the primary solution is massive funding of educational programs from pre school through a university education. One cannot act on things they do not undestand. Which is why the right wingers are usually wrong on everything. >>To: koan who wrote (61165) 8/21/2009 1:47:03 PM From: less_ Read Replies (1) of 61179 Health care is a societal burden whether it is privatised or socialized. I get messages on my phone from nursing associations who tell me my insurance pays for their services, which are largely educational support. I don't return the calls because I am educated on healthy living and it concerns me that this may be a common expense running up our health care costs. I've checked with a few other people and it seems to be common. On the other hand it seems any comprehensive plan for health care should include provisions which reward patients who take positive steps to improve their health, or steps to reduce risks.<<
