http://ccnyword.com/ : No More Healthcare!

Mon, 1 Mar 2010 03:16:19 +0000

I agree with your bottom line: the insurance monopoly needs to be broken. But I don't think the people who are already drawing Hitler mustaches on Obama would embrace anti-trust laws against their insurance company (even though it's in their interest). It's politically unfeasible. Sure, if Obama had Teddy Roosevelt's balls, he would do it. But he won't. The next best thing is introducing another option into the market that can operate with lower overheads and provide care at a lower price. That could inject some competition too. The problem is, Obama doesn't have the will to do even that.

Well, if you're making a stand just for political posturing then any calls for defending your position could be a trap. The problem isn't that Obama tricked the GOP into defending their position, the problem was that most of them hadn't a good position to defend. The Admiral Ackbar reference cracked me up though.

Testing. Sviation and space travel depend on radio transmissions, as we know tragically from the case of the Brazilian 737 downed when it collided in midair with a smaller plane whose transponder was turned off, and more optimistically by the Apollo missions as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing. Guglielmo Marconi may not have envisioned, when it was first “discovered that it was possible to transmit electric waves through the air without a wire,” the full implications of that discovery. The transmissions, from mobile phone conversations beaming every which way through the lower atmosphere, to the latest lubricious single titillating us through our car radios. Ours is truly a broadcast age, yet the vast majority of signals slip away unheard. We tune in at very selected frequencies, and only when it suits us. The vox populi is relegated to the equivalent of public-access television. Governments use a huge section of bandwidth for defense purposes, communicating with satellites, and even as a kind of non-lethal weapon (See, 95 GHz: a two-second burst of the stuff can heat the skin of a person to a temperature of 130° F [54° C] at a depth of 1/64th of an inch [0.4 mm], causing the person to do whatever it takes to flee).
