August 5, 2009. Rachel Maddow exposes the Republican-funded and staffed PR firms behind the movement that's trying to disrupt town hall meetings and slow down/shout down health care reform in the U.S.

This Feature combines Ronald Reagan Speaking in 1960 with Talking Points being used today against Universal Healthcare. My adrenaline flows against it. The purpose of sharing this is to show what Ms. Maddow is describing, is real, and just as malevolent today as it was believable then.

The Healthcare Debate is a Moral Challenge because those against Universal Healthcare are denying access to healthcare for others. They will easily speak about being their brother's and/or sister's keeper but when it comes time to do so, they apply restrictions. Those for Healthcare Reform know that it includes benefiting those who oppose it. Which creates the dilemma of being kind to someone who wants to reciprocate with harm.

Here are thoughts about thinking.

From http://academicearth.org/lectures/a-person-in-world-of-people-morality

Professor Bloom provides an introduction to psychological theories of morality. Students will learn how research in psychology has helped answer some of the most central questions about human morality. For instance, which emotions are "moral" and why did these moral feelings evolve? What factors guide our moral judgments? And what factors predict when good people will do bad things?



And Lastly from http://freepress.net/astroturf

Just to think about from this moment forward and,

question all you have been told before reading

this entry.

Internal Quest for Encouragement

Sunday, April 19, 2009

You are reading from the book Touchstones

Some of us, observing that ideals are rarely achieved, proceed to the error of considering them worthless. Such an error is greatly harmful. True North cannot be reached either, since it is an abstraction, but it is of enormous importance, as all the world's travelers can attest.

  —Steve Allen

How many of us, seeing others who failed to live fully by their ideals, cried, "Hypocrite!" Perhaps we even pointed to others' shortcomings to excuse our own. Now, in this program, we may be tempted to swing like a pendulum to the other extreme. We may hold to our values and principles so tightly that we are perfectionistic.

The idea that True North cannot ever be reached is very useful. If we don't achieve True North, even though we establish it as our standard, we will generally be heading in the right direction. Although we never perfectly achieve our ideals, they remain our standards today for orienting our lives.

I do accept standards for my life. I will not beat on myself for my imperfections.
