It’s long past time for the Government to enter the modern era. In a time when being LBGT is becoming less and less a consideration when hiring or promoting someone, the military continues to exclude members of its workforce for that very reason.
I wanna go on the record here. Even with this health care law that is now in effect, there will be medical services available and even innovation. It’s not as if we have just descended into the dark ages where leeches* were common practice and a shot of whiskey complemented by an ash twig was considered anesthetic. We’ll still advance. Just not as fast as we might otherwise have. Consider the fact that British doctors were able to transplant a trachea that would regenerate!
You know that old joke? Remember? Well, the answer is ‘ere as the joint is passed around the circle.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

I admit it. I watch Bill O. I think that he tries, tries I say, to be the fairest of all of the opinion guys on the cable shows. Beck and Hannity are right-wing with Hannity clearly in the bag for Republicans and the politicians in the party. Olbermann and Madow are so far to the Left that you can see ’em on the horizon if ya look Right.
And so will the rest of us, of course. Obamacare removes any limit that an insurance company can place on an individual per year or per life of the policy. Which is niffty, because if we had the Single Payer, the government itself would impose that very limit.

As if we needed another example that weather patterns are climate change is subject to, shocker, nature, we have this report:
Iceland’s Laki volcano erupted in 1783, freeing gases that turned into smog. The smog floated across the Jet Stream, changing weather patterns.
…
The winter of 1784 was also one of the longest and coldest on record in North America. New England reported a record stretch of below-zero temperatures and New Jersey reported record snow accumulation. The Mississippi River also reportedly froze in New Orleans.
