"Fault Lines looks at the US healthcare system, exposes its cracks, and uncovers the forces that are spending millions of dollars every day to influence the debate over the US healthcare reform."

A friend of mine asked

"Why are people fighting the health care reforms? It's time to fight FOR it"

This from an ardent fan of pacifism.

Here is my reply:

Single Payer HR 676, by Representative John Conyers,(D-Michigan 14th district) http://conyers.house.gov/ has support because it makes common good sense. However it has been taken Off the table for discussion by Senator Max Baucus,( http://baucus.senate.gov/) supposedly he regrets doing so http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/06/03-9

Fighting is colloquial, disingenuous. Clearly it effuses anger. Explaining Why, requires thinking, a skill which requires reading, which is not a popular activity of a necessary portion of the electorate.

Being informed helps them undue the damage wrought them through disinformation.

To help spread the word here is Scroll III as means of understanding How. http://mandino.blogspot.com/2006/07/scroll-marked-iii-i-will-persist-until.html

Finesse through with honesty

When phrases like "War Room" or words like "Fight" appear in non-combat situations, I have to ask," What Channel is that Mind Stuck On?"

We'll see where we are at in September,

In the meantime, Stay Healthy,

Be Informed

"The House is out of session and will return on September 8".

The debate moves to radio:

In the meantime heres my chime.

Healthcare for all is inevitable. It is intelligent for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Of the People, By the People, For the People. If as much creativity was used towards Health, Energy and Education as has been used to con people into War, there would be a healthier, more productive, better informed population. This I believe, have promoted and will continue to advocate.

It is Common Good Sense.
