Medicaid, Medicare and YOU!


 

The following is an article from online, FOX NEWS and commentary:


 

Taxpayers have shelled out at least $200 million since 2004 for medications that have never been reviewed by the government for safety and effectiveness but are still covered under Medicaid, an Associated Press analysis of federal data has found. Millions of private patients are taking such drugs, as well

BV: TAXPAYERS ARE PATIENTS, PATIENTS, PARTICULARLY ONES ON MEDICAID AND MEDICARE DO NOT HAVE EXTRA BUCKS FOR THE LATEST GREATEST DRUGS. I have spoken on this previously, if not directly then by implication.

IF our HEALTHCARE SYSTEM were viable, reliable and worthy of praise, we would say, " Let us CooPeratively purchase drugs as a national program. If we reformed healthcare, "coop-ing" in this way, drug companies with medicare, mediciad who knows? Maybe we would live better, feel stronger and live longer? IT's a thought…

You are Saying "NO" to this suggestion or scheme? Are you saying, "But NO! NOT "US" we want to pay more and get less?"Well you are paying more that some, and you might be risking your in life doing it, or so this article implies such a potential threat. WHAT DO WE DO? PUT ON OUR THINKING CAPS, AND GET STARTED. WRITE IN PENCILE IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER..

Ok, Wipe the slate clean, start from scratch, Priority 1: Healthcare : Do you have a doctor who you consistently see personally when you are sick? Does your doctor know you? When they write you a prescription do you know what your taking? We can't leave it all up to the doctor and the pharmacist; we know what makes our colds, aches and pains go away, and we are just as responsible for our care, no more-so responsible as the doctor and pharmacist. Being privy to new information on drugs is also our responsibility as patients. (Knowing for example that you cannot take certain pain killers, that aver the counter with some prescriptions is essential) .

Too many people, myself included, jus t say, "I need more of those blue caps for my stomach," and that's as far as it goes, knowledge-wise on pharmaceutical ,drugs.

Simultaneously:

IF our system were serving us well, we would have: Priority 2: An integrated health and behavioural health system, online. Online would be: your access to your records, pin, password secure, and an interface between your doctor's records, rx, and prognosis and care records. The interface with the paying agency: your healthcare provider, Oxford Health Plans, United Health Care or whatever your plan is. The one paying the bill would have direct access to the care-giver to exchange equally the progress, cause and provide more than just payment of bills. Medicare, as a government agency, regulating healthcare for consumers, old and poor and disABLED should notify Doctors of changes in the status of drugs and therapies, and vice versa toward them.

(I hope your not getting a bad impression because, I Don't think I know exactly WHAT DOES AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE DONE, but I'm willing to go out and PROSPOSE and idea for a "Circuit" of healthcare in America. OTHERS WHO READ-IN CAN ADD TO OR EXTRAPOLATE ON THESE IDEAS? I HOPE…)

This is how it would go:

  1. You are sick and you go to the doctor.
  2. The doctor says that you have irritable bowel and writes prescriptions for you for five medications. Your prognosis is good because the meds work.
  3. A)Your doctor accepts co-pay, then files a claim, electronically with for example, Oxford Healthplans'. B) Oxford forwards the claim information to Medicare, or Medicaid , your provider. C) You get a record of the transaction. And the records should stay on file 3-5 years and then be micro-filmed.
  4. The Doctor's office inputs the claim directly to Oxford, and the Medicaid and Medicare offices get notified as to what relates to your health, mental of physical. (YOULL have to decide: Do you want everything via social security number, pin number, alpha-numeric or all of the above…these are small details) When You apply for work, there should also be an interface with social security, there is I believe to some degree information from the States relating to pay, but the details as to what work? Are not found…

ON with the article….

The availability of unapproved prescription drugs to the public may create a dangerous false sense of security. Dozens of deaths have been linked to them.

The medications date back decades, before the Food and Drug Administration tightened its review of drugs in the early 1960s. The FDA says it is trying to squeeze them from the market, but conflicting federal laws allow the Medicaid health program for low-income people to pay for them.

BV: Make medications affordable and people won't be looking for one's that are cheaper, "generic," or "new and promising results". Simply: people won't take chances they don't have to if they believe they may be harmed.

The truth is: Medications are too expensive, testing takes too long and people become lab test's results, sometimes we find out after someone has died from a drug that it was a drug that should be removed from our marketplace.

IF we purchased medications cheapest, with best results and tested/approved there would not be so much horror, here or elsewhere.

Proposal, solution and starting point: Make drug companies partner with drug chains: IN effect, Cooperative operations: It goes back to an integrated approach, namely have CVS, or whomever your drug store is, purchase cheaper, by purchasing in bulk, in a partner contact to supply xyz for x amount of time, and make both parties stick to it.

It's a business deal, something I don't like in healthcare at all…

These are called, "Blanket Orders" Because the give us security and they cover a particular item> Research, Planning and Scheduling IN TIME usage for a specified period of time.

I have written about this elsewhere…

Back to the article

The AP analysis found that Medicaid paid nearly $198 million from 2004 to 2007 for more than 100 unapproved drugs, mostly for common conditions such as colds and pain. Data for 2008 were not available but unapproved drugs still are being sold. The AP checked the medications against FDA databases, using agency guidelines to determine if they were unapproved. The FDA says there may be thousands of such drugs on the market.

BV: IF the system, Doctor, pharmacist and client 1) know how a drug is helping or not 2) the pharmacists can get the drugs cheap 3) the consumer is educated about what OTHER options there are 4) The health provider relates what has been taken off the market to the Doctors and pharmacists, we would curtail much!

CRUX of Article?

Medicaid officials acknowledge the problem, but say they need help from Congress to fix it. The FDA and Medicaid are part of the Health and Human Services Department, but the FDA has yet to compile a master list of unapproved drugs, and Medicaid -- which may be the biggest purchaser -- keeps paying.


 

BV: IF an informed consumer, their doctor and the health plan agree that they will fore-go safety, (For say an experimental AIDS drug), they sign an affidavit saying so. Then Medicaid, and Health providers have spoken).

Article continued….

"I think this is something we ought to look at very hard, and we ought to fix it," said Medicaid chief Herb Kuhn. "It raises a whole set of questions, not only in terms of safety, but in the efficiency of the program -- to make sure we are getting the right set of services for beneficiaries."

At a time when families, businesses and government are struggling with health care costs and 46 million people are uninsured, payments for questionable medications amount to an unplugged leak in the system.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has asked the HHS inspector general to investigate.

BV: Mr. Grassley, keep up the good fight for us all…

Continuing;

That unapproved prescription drugs can be sold in the United States surprises even doctors and pharmacists. But the FDA estimates they account for 2 percent of all prescriptions filled by U.S. pharmacies, about 72 million scripts a year. Private insurance plans also cover them.

The roots of the problem go back in time, tangled in layers of legalese.

It wasn't until 1962 that Congress ordered the FDA to review all new medications for effectiveness. Thousands of drugs already on the market were also supposed to be evaluated. But some manufacturers claimed their medications were "grandfathered" under earlier laws, and even under the 1962 bill.

Then, in the early 1980s, a safety scandal erupted over one of those medications. E-Ferol, a high potency vitamin E injection, was linked to serious reactions in some 100 premature babies, 40 of whom died.

In response, the FDA started a program to weed out drugs it had never reviewed scientifically. Yet some medications continued to escape scrutiny.

Sometimes, the medications do not help patients. In other cases, the FDA says, they have made people sicker, maybe even killed them. This year, for example, the FDA banned injectable versions of a gout drug called colchicine after receiving reports of 23 deaths. Investigators found the unapproved drug had a very narrow margin of safety, and patients easily could receive a toxic dose leading to complications such as organ failure.

Critics say the FDA's case-by-case enforcement approach is not working.

"The FDA does not appear to have a systematic mechanism to report these drugs out," said Jon Glaudemans, senior vice president of Avalere Health, a health care industry information company, "and there doesn't seem to be a systematic process by which health insurance programs can validate their status. And everyone is pointing the finger at someone else as to why we can't get there."

BV: The process will only take place when we all share information, records, prognosis' and best drug therapies….and not until then…in the interim we have to reform "THE SYSTEM" itself.

'Further, the article says:

In most cases, doctors, pharmacists and patients are not aware the drugs are unapproved.

"Over the years, they have become fully entrenched in the system," said Patti Manolakis, a Charlotte, N.C., pharmacist who has studied the issue. Only a few unapproved drugs are truly essential and should remain on the market, she added.

Tackling the problem is made harder by confusing -- and sometimes conflicting -- laws, regulations and responsibilities that pertain to different government agencies.

BV: Progress is sometimes made by bold individuals, or desperate ones, who find out first person whether a drug is effective….

The article continues….

Medicaid officials said their program, which serves the poor and disabled, is allowed to pay for unapproved drugs until the FDA orders a specific medication off the market. But that can take years.

Compare that with Medicare, the health care program for older people.

Medicare's prescription program is not supposed to cover unapproved drugs. Medicare has purged hundreds of such medications from its coverage lists, but continues to find others.

BV: BINGO! Somebody agrees with me. You were listening to me?

'Further on the article states….

It might be easier to sort things out if the FDA compiled a master list of unapproved drugs, but the agency hasn't. FDA officials say that would be difficult because many manufacturers do not list unapproved products with the agency. Yet, the AP found many that were listed -- a possible starting point for a list.

Among the drugs the AP's research identified were Carbofed, for colds and flu; Hylira, a dry skin ointment; Andehist, a decongestant, and ICAR Prenatal, a vitamin tablet. Medicaid data show the program paid $7.3 million for Carbofed products from 2004 to 2007; $146,000 for Hylira; $4.8 million for Andehist products, and $900,000 for ICAR.

Grassley said the system is failing taxpayers and consumers.

"The problem I see is bureaucrats don't want to make a decision," Grassley said. "There is no reason why this should be such a house of mirrors when so much public money is being spent." Grassley is considering introducing legislation to ensure that consumers are told when a medication is unapproved.

FDA officials say they tell Medicaid and Medicare when the agency moves to ban an unapproved drug, so the programs can stop paying.

"The situation is complicated by the fact that Medicaid and Medicare have a different regulatory regime than FDA does," said FDA compliance lawyer Michael Levy. "There are products that we may consider to be illegally marketed that could be legally reimbursed under their law."

BV: As you and I know, the US is often a policeman, but cannot regulate other countries or impede therapies.

For instance, the article says….

The FDA began its latest crackdown on unapproved drugs two years ago and has taken action against nine types of medications and dozens of companies. Typically, the agency orders manufacturers to stop making and shipping drugs, and it also has seized millions of dollars' worth of medications. But federal law does not provide fines for selling unapproved drugs, and criminal prosecutions are rare.

Some manufacturers of unapproved drugs say their products predate FDA regulation and are "grandfathered in."

BV: This is of particular interest, because essential chemicals may not cause a problem, but a NEW-combination might have a significantly adverse effect!

We go back to this article….

"These are drugs that don't require an FDA approval," said Bill Peters, chief financial officer of Hi-Tech Pharmaceutical in Amityville, N.Y. "These are products with active ingredients that have been on the market for a long time." The company is moving away from older products, Peters said, and its new market offerings are FDA-approved.

Levy said the FDA is skeptical that any drugs now being sold are entitled to "grandfather" status. To qualify, they would have to be identical to medications sold decades ago in formulation and other important aspects.

The agency is targeting drugs linked to fraud, ones that do not work and, above all, those with safety risks. While the crackdown has helped, it does not appear to have solved the problem.

The gout drug banned by the FDA this February is not the only recent case involving safety problems.

Last year, the FDA banned unapproved cough medicines containing hydrocodone, a potent narcotic. Some had directions for medicating children as young as age 2, although no hydrocodone cough products have been shown to be safe and effective for children under 6.

In a 2006 case, the agency received 21 reports of children younger than 2 who died after taking unapproved cold and allergy medications containing carbinoxamine, an allergy drug that also acts as a powerful sedative. Regulators banned all products that contained carbinoxamine in combination with other cold medicines.

"We as Americans have a belief that all the prescription drugs that are available to us have been reviewed and approved by the FDA," said Manolakis, the pharmacist. "I think the presence of these drugs shows we have a false sense of security."

The Big 3, You and me, (I):

BIG 3 HAVENT YOU HEARD OF "just IN TIME" AND ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS?  THESE ARE THE MECHANICS OF OUR NEW ERA OF MANUFACTURING.

 
 

Look, manufacturing is streamlined, downsized, muzzled and our workers are smarter than others. We make the best products; we just can afford to make the best products. Have we NOT learned anything from JAPAN; the upside was the wealth they have, the manufacturing czars of The World are naming their price for their hybrid, electronic and "green" cars....one thing remains, no two things remain: We are not a country of thrifty folks, Like Japan.

Two we need to more economically "sound out" this dilema. Open markets are one thing, but you have not learned from JAPAN, CHINA, and INDIA &C...

 
 

Government does not belong running businesses in a free market economy. MY view, a limited one, a view of a disABLED woman, who formerly worked in manufacturing and who, lost her job due to downsizing...I've been there. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Dare you call me a Socialist? Well see after you read this....

 
 

Government is in charge of keeping the public good, doing what is right for the most amount of people, make their private industry, make their notion of success a success. In other words, there is a role for Government in the economies' market. The prevention of an economic collapse is a "referee saving the life of a beaten man."

 
 

We've had our black eyes, we've done without, when we become beyond our control in an abyss. IT is not that Americans make too much. It is rather that we allow others to sell us snow. We don't need a new plan, we need to AMEND the plans we have....I m getting to it.

 
 

People have seen others loose jobs, defer wage increases and prices keep going up...that's not fair. Rosemarie, you say, "Life is not fair" I say, "Excuse me, Sir, but we will make it so."

 
 

I propose that the Automobile industry take a trump card from Germany and Japan and others...simply use their ideas to help ourselves compete. This IS NOT BEING DONE…

 
 

First of all, we don't save. That's changing. Do not discourage us to take the reflexive motion to remain solvent. We deserve the good life that we have created. This dilemma may well make us more fiscally responsive, reserved and proactive toward our long term future. A good education, a concern for the neighbour is our new world view. YES, I AM MY BROTHERS KEEPER, AND HE NEEDS ME TO SPEAK UP!

 
 

FINANCIAL COUNSELLING SHOULD BE PART OF LIFE-PREPAREDNESS CLASSES THAT SHOULD BE INSTITUTED. DONT JUST MAKE THE EDUCATION AVAILABLE, MAKE THE COURSE OF STUDY REQUIRE GRADS TO TAKE A SOLVENCY/THRIFT COURSE.

 
 

We are TOO FREE; we've backed ourselves into a financial corner.

Its not going to get pretty....we need to come together, city, government and everyone in the entire citizenry. For what? TO Make a NEW DEAL FOR THE NEW ERA.

 
 

We don't need to have an economic-collapse do we? You haven't spoken to "Grandma or Grandpa" of folks who were there. They still have ptsd?

 
 

This is an idea: Like other industrialized nations the US needs to

MERGE THE THREE-THE BIG THREE INTO THE FOLLOWING OR SOMETHING LIKE IT.

 
 

Government and industry, namely in this case the motor industry, need to work together. Industry shouldn't have the resolve that the US GOVT would never let them fail. Those days are over. This is a global economy; we don't have any room for nepotism. For a period of time, as to solve the dilemma, namely having the dilemma dissolve-firstly, making a significant dividend, profitability, solvency, for a decent work wage for employees &C, we need to have a merger.

A joint venture is what they call it on wall street, no?

A merger would be 33% to each of the big 3, and 1% ownership at the Government US.

The non value added the management and the union have to come to the table. You folks make a great auto, but we want to make sure you don't lose you job, you savings, your retirement money...this is how:

The big three act as if they are on the same team, for a time, there will be no differentiation other than what vehicle is being made, we are making AMERICAN vehicles and selling to the world at probably a more competitive price..YOU don't have to send folks home with a cardboard box of good memories.


All you have to do is doing cost analysis on ALL WORK DONE. Yes, you should be looking more closely at the cost - before production of making a vehicle, then the in process costs and then mark up.

If Auto AMERICA came about we would share the wealth inside of our nation. We would not be dependent in any form. We would be "US" The United States. It would be a temporary arrangement; the project is "Keep America Honest and Hardworking, keep jobs"

 
 

Ok, just run to your work station, write down what you do. Make a log for each employee for six weeks.

That 's all it would take to re-vamp the system of waste, fraud and abuse? Yup. These execs thought the government would insure their jobs, all their jobs due to the large scale of work, workers, and the trickle-economy.

Once again, we have been reminded that vehicles are more economical if lighter, greener and trendy. We Americans love our chariots. Did you notice MTA is dealing with more than the usual surge in ridership. (That's what I heard...)

 
 

Once you have more thrifty operations, we can figure out the wage, the operations-logistics-supply chain, delivery and promotion of an AMERICAN VEHICLE. Call me a protectionist of sorts. If France can sit in on steel purchases as a government, and Japan it\s auto industry, electronics &C why cant we motivate the "line" employee, one who probably hasn't gotten a raise this year, let alone a pink slip?

I submit:

It is far less expensive for US, to be sure, to keep people at the front lines of our economic system there, to negotiate their jobs and keep their outlook upbeat. They deserve to make a good salary for their expertise, specialization, and dedication to that part of the product. It is cheaper to fund employment, minimally, than it is to decimate the economy, in the name of fair markets, competition and success.

This is an emergency. We need to make what we make, a good product, we need to renegotiate distribution to the world at a price that makes way for profit. Have you 3 paid attention to the world market? I'm not expert, but I can tell you that if this were Germany, there would be ONE Manufacturer in THE US for AUTOS.(In such a stressful time, their GOvt. would intervene as Ive heard it has in the past….)

 
 

More often people look only inwards for their own survival. What happens is patriotism flies away when you have to go down to welfare and food stamps and take help from your local church, your friends and deplete everything you always worked SO HARD for.

It, success, is so elusive that we trade it in for credit, purchasing and funding our future, and our lives become a series of big IOU'S

 
 

If one company went belly up, of the 3, then the other two would become more "popular" as a stock purchase. Its not only about ROI, its about the law of diminishing returns: how many more units of measure do we need before we become unprofitable. IF we, as a nation, are willing to buy from whoever sells the most economical VEHICLE then we also are to blame, so we cannot point at anyone and say, "This is your fault" The blame is irrelevant. Get back inline, folks, you and I and others need to look at what makes an economy thrive, what makes a good product, what worldwide people wish to purchase your product for: QUALITY.

 
 

Operations alone, before we talk wages, benefits and supplies, can be changed. HOW ROSEMARIE? Each employee: Just treat the company like it is or as it were YOUR COMPANY. As if you, in the assembly line take ownership and partnership with your company, to insure quality and efficiency. No this is not just talk, its a fact. The more ownership, loyalty and diligence you get from QUALITY employees, those who rely on their abilities, experience and integrity to keep their jobs the better the cheaper and the more progressive the company.

 
 

Everyone is a manager, no one makes the distinction of what is their job, what is their responsibility, the considerations of what makes and maintains a quality-efficient product just in time for factory order completion.

 
 

All of us, in the manufacture of anything have to take ownership toward the quality of their work, the efficiency of their products and the dedication toward an AMERICAN VEHICLE.

 
 

Stop the nonsense. There is no way that a Cadillac is equivocal to a Hundai, The ride alone is 100% better, ok, maybe 98%, but I wont budge. Consider new options: Like….

 
 

Lets make cars from HD RUBBER, with steel interior frame, when they run on electricity, hydropower or turbine. Pollution solution?

 
 

Cant we just make a filter to the emissions system, one that would absorb the toxins, carbon monoxide &C chemicals. We would gather the used filters and find a way to rid ourselves of the toxins, without making ourselves inhale fossil fuels byproducts of pure pollution...just make a filter to catch the toxins, trade it in and you wont have to obsolete any vehicles. Just make it a "throw-away" filter for the emissions. ITs simple, its like a safety net for our breathing, health and efficiency, and industry.

 
 

More so, it is important that: 1) We've always done things this way, why do you want to change things? Because we have to…

2) You don't know, Rosemarie, if any of these ideas will work, and what if there are long term effects that are not readily known? (NAY SAYERS) Folks, that's not how the light bulb got invented.

3) Who takes ownership of this "AMERICAN AUTO CO." at the point when they collectively become solvent, repay their entire debt to uncle Sam, and turn a profit? They need to pay people well, match their skills to the job and continuously make education and quality improvement an everyday move. Quality is inherent in the product or it just doesn't sell. Sell based on competition. We cant compete because were too busy fighting, negotiating and protecting ourselves? POOF@!UP UP AND AWAY? Do you want the car industry in the US to go up in smoke? NO you don't.

 
 

SO, take a "humility pill" and join forces,well call it: "American Motors"and have America go to the rescue. We will fund it, but the government will appoint a special legal-trustee (to insure the costeffective use of funds lent, and as a result - we will prevail as a nation. Where is patriotism? An African Proverb says, (Paraphrase) There is nothing wrong with being ignorant, there is only shame in not wanting to do something about it.

 
 

People work hard, they want a good life, and for years the struggle has been between labor, government and management. How short sighted this was to have a "pass the buck" mentality. The roosters have come home.

People work just to get by, and they don't have time for the whole world's problems: The elevation of poor persons, the handling of the disadvantaged, and the future of our children.

 
 

Look, don't just blame whoever was in charge, I'm tired of that, you know what? EVERYBODY is tired of that.  So in short, All operations would be streamlined. The operations would be merged...no duplications of efforts, ROI for a change. A new maxim: "accountability."

 
 

Its bankruptcy without socking it to the small supplier for mfg. The little business that is just getting by may actually be able to make strides, expand and compete in a world that is ruled not by competition but by compassion.

 
 

Ok, this is where I take off on a tangent:

 
 

1) Fix the cosmetic problems of our torn ego and economy. Consider the above, and consider improvisation and extemporaneous management, fair for small business, the labor force and competitive toward the world economy. Extrapolate on the above, aforementioned. Its a drawing board starting point.

2) Make those who are unemployed re-think their career. Are you working for a sector that has NO GROWTH, a tight workforce and long hours and days for a salary that isn't quite enough to buy the

standard to living our nation enjoyed mainly in the 1950's?

Anyone who wishes to get new training for a new career should be funded, without qualifying. The point that they need a job and don't have one is enough, is it not?

 
 

2) Fix the microsystem: MAIN STREET USA: Don't allow unfair competition. Fix the healthcare dilemma. (I have written about this elsewhere). Businesses don't have the cash to cover themselves, (for healthcare and benefits), let alone their employees'. Noteworthy, I still cant figure out how if and where seized funds do good for the citizenry. Revenue is revenue, and I have spoken about that elsewhere also.

 
 

3) OUR GOVT should fund the big 3. No question, we are with them. BUT we cant write a blank check to an industry that doesn't even have much dedication to its employees. When jobs go overseas, so should the person who does that job. Its my job and I go where it goes? Why not?  Make employment worthwhile once more. Don't allow the tenure of an employee allow him to stop the line, throw a tantrum and effect production. We should all be responsible and not use tenure to qualify us as productive employees.

 
 

Its the revolving door. There is no room, capacities, tolerance anywhere for people who take advantage of their seniority.

Seniority is gained presumably from making a good product, making something their putting their name on, something that is more than just another day's work. I have great reverence FOR HARD WORK, DILIGENCE AND INDUSTRY. Those who have come so far, who specialize in a dying trade, who need to be represented, should be. BUT, just like teachers and policemen have to answer for their product, service and delivery form.

 
 

Its not enough to be good at what you do. You have to re-think what you do, consider how it would be done better, without reflections on your skills. I know there are tradesmen, and managers and products that require a great amount of proficiency, and we all want you to keep your job. Hey, you wouldn't be around to get tenure if you were a louse...work with your manager, he needs your help.

 
 

How to streamline?

For instance, paint department: IF ONE PLANT HOUSED ALL OUR PAINT PROFESSIONALS AND ALL VEHICLES WERE PAINTED THERE, RIGHT THERE, EFFORTLESSLY YOU WOULD SAVE. 'Just one example..

 
 

Your mission: Scramble to make a car for our new world era.

Put on your thinking caps; suggest things to make strides, and keep doing what you do well.

 
 

We love you, want to help you and this is not going to be painless. Smaller teams operate better. No one, in a factory should be stuffed up in an office, whilst others sweat it out. Make cubicles for each department inside each department. (Its everybody's office), all should be ready, willing and accommodating to each other. Consider the future of all of you collectively, then later on, when you can compete, when you are productive, then you can split up and count your pennies.

 
 

Don't forget to count your pennies. Pennies make dollars and dollars make a difference, an impact and provide for the rainy day. This is a rainy day. In fact its looking like a hurricane and a tornado all in one.

 
 

I ill stop here for now. You probably hate me because I dare to suggest that things change. I've seen better days.


 

War Piece and Peace:


 

With all our follies, our weaknesses our dogmas, systems, standards and lessons, I heard it put best in the simplest form: "Everything I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten..."

_____

We should never allow ourselves to evolve into a society of death, loose morals and social constructs that do not allow us to be the fragile, temporal and significant beings we are. Yet, in America, some of our values are anti-family, anti-society, anti-theological and quite tragic.

We engage in wars to save the very old, the very young, the children and mothers, the survivors of what Ill call "the death brigade."Those who have turned on their own folks...the images are on video and audio but how many of us respect the lives being tragically diverted, routed, and destroyed by dogma, pride, cantankerous, insipid traditions of men..."X-Men"  not YES MEN. XMEN: The variable likely soldier of life, dignity and respect toward GOD, CITIZEN AND EACH OTHER IN THE WORLD COMMUNITY.

 Borders should only be important when preserving life, standard of living and taxation. Other than good borders, like good fences, we make good neighbors. We redraw the boundaries after the upheavals of separatism, differences and judgment. These same things that cause mankind to threaten, kill, mame and risk life and limb to persevere with loyalty to their ideologies.

It s not a bad thing to have a cultural identity, which can be said to be a set of maxims that are your starting point in the social arena of the world community, but to kill in the name of race, language, economy and intolerance, we are far from the well meaning script we have lived by, fought for and maintain. Eventually we will have to re-assess, evaluate and contrive our new place. As man develops better living standards, we end and begin with a set of ideas, behaviours and lessons we live by. The longer we have been in our "evolution of man" the more "Civilized" we profess ourselves to be, the more retrospect, introspective and self-policing we become.

 With all our follies, our weaknesses our dogmas, systems, standards and lessons, I heard it put best in the simplest form: "Everything I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten"

 Case in point: Civil society and yes, It's Discontents?

While it is a truism that customary widely accepted ideas, like life, dignity and the human condition are to be guarded, we have gone too far in the name of progress. I.E. ABORTION: Not necessary, but performed daily. The integration of belief systems and the urgency to spare the lost and confused, to keep up the appearances of our daughters and sons as good children, good citizens and good persons, a diatribe of force, sorrow threats of a daunting future, bleak prospects, future poverty, asceticism  at its best..We seek to free the foolish young girl, the victim of incest, the victim of rape and the tragedy of loosing our youth to the unborn. at no time is this new arrival to be seen as a threat to our wellbeing, but since your new place at the adult's table is set, you as an unwed mother may well spend your time, all your resources, and your energy explaining why things are going the way they will for those who have little or no support in the community...The worst of all is these who are amongst us who are what I call, "Holier than thou" folks.

The truth remains that the only difference there is better planning, better support within the family and NOT better character. In fact, I really, personally admire those women who in the name of wholesome dignity, in the name of life, are tolerating the opinionated, dogma, shame-slinging losers who are just luckier, sneaky about their private lives, better prepared and not as affectively charged as these moms. WHEN we speak to these women, some are happy to have their child, regardless of the circumstances, trials, and devotion required, they don't have much too much to gain, by having their baby beyond the beauty and good living of someone who "walks the walk"

Those that I've spoken to have had the short route: abortion, period."Oh, (in a matter of fact-ly voice :) I just took my sister to get an abortion...the guy is married and she's been with him for years...it was an accident. One form. Two, (did you get your "friend" I'm waiting for mine too?) what will you do.?I know what I'm going to do, he (the father) and I, are going to get married if I am pregnant...what about you? (Boldly) I'm taking what comes, I'm hoping I'm not, and if I am I'm not too sure that Ill let even the father know...I'm not sure what Ill do, and I'm not scared...I believe in The Lord, and it would be very difficult to have an abortion, I'm not sure what Ill do. (Three) I had a set of twins already; I couldn't go back to bottles and diapers. I had no husband to help me...I'm not sorry with what happened, but I feel bad about it. I cant even afford to take care of myself let alone a third child...that's my explanation and Ill answer to GOD for it.(Four) I had four children, my husband had just left and I needed to work and take care of them, I did (have an abortion) because I needed to be there for my kids.(Four) I'm pregnant, I'm having it and were getting married...(two weeks later), I'm not pregnant, were not getting married and I feel awful &C...Five: Did you get your period, (your name) Why do you ask me everyday? Because you were abused and she's afraid you are pregnant, yet she does nothing to protect this child from the abuse, the only solution she sees is: make sure you use birth control? This lacks character, don't you think? This view is: Outcomes are the only valuable things, namely pregnant or not?

Here, the question should be: What about the abuse situation, why are you tolerating it a scape-goating the little girl? You'll never get an answer to that one...

The identities of these women are in my confidence and the only purpose if the dissemination of information the kind of information that SAVES YOUTH AND SAVES LIVES...

Whatever the story, we answer for our behaviour. In the scheme of things every action we take, judged good, bad or indifferent, has a place in the fabric of our lives.

Moms are holy! Questions Are: our nation should always support those who make a mistake in judgment? What about: A mistake in a state of immature rivalry? What if she: Is the victim of violence, degradation and fall short on integrity character and strength? As an aside, it is true that I myself am a product of what is called, "The rhythm method."Of five children, I was the second one to be least wanted. My older sibling, a boy before I was born was a "last straw" event. Noteworthy, on the world scene...

YOU do see that America is fighting wars everywhere? Why are we always out-front, being shot down, making our soldiers seek, rescue and restore dignity and be questioned for our motives? Why is commerce a motivating factor for peace? That is so gross, but true.  HOW silly of me? I should wake up?

Look at the "Maslow scale" one more time.  We, all of us, have unlimited needs in every area of scale, but AMERICA is pulled from top and bottom, because we have a value system that says intrinsically: "I am my brother keeper." (Whether it is an overt, professed statement or just in our mind-set because of our customs, rituals-religion of sense of responsibility, is a meaningless distraction).SO we say to those in the world with social ills...

"Come to America, defect, declare yourself a refugee and we will comfort you." That is in our treatise, composite persona and entrenched in our value system. It is true that largely, until a nation takes on the work of lifting up the poor, providing training, jobs, and infrastructure we never will get those folks past "I'm tired, I'm hungry and I'm not safe here &C....

We are seeking to do our best to comfort, console, construct and re-fabricate the decent-living that we take for granted to any and all places around the world. Largely we are, as I have seen, being judged as intolerant, self-serving and indifferent. We are largely, I dare say, misunderstood. If we stop doing business with those that threaten diplomacy and democracy and our standard of living, then you would hear these folks wanting to come to the table of negotiation to appease their citizens. When the average citizen takes up arms, in a militia toward the westerners, they are lost in the translation: "We are REALLY here to help you. You are not living as good a life as you may think, you have sold out and are settling for less that you deserve as a citizen of THE WORLD"; we are a global society, in the information age coming into our own homes. You may believe that the west is decrepit, degraded, dilapidated, down on morals and up on efficiency, productivity and commerce. Take a closer look!

A civilization only prospers when everyone involved in the process is determined to give something back to those who have not evolved their sense of community beyond talk. No where in the world should there be folks who are not part of the fabric of the world. We are largely now a citizenry of ideology vs. history. Most countries do not give up on traditions of men, on the way it has always been done, (Anything) that is new, innovative and progressive is sometimes seen as a great hindrance.

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

America is a success story in the civilization of our world. Yet, we are often perceived as power hungry, intolerant, selfish and deadly. We are treated as if we are greedy foreigners who are involved too deeply in the affairs of other nations. We have time, attention and dedication to the concerns of our fellow humans, citizens around the world.

We are the breadbasket, the collection-plate of subsidy, the referee, the concerned neighbor to the world. IF we wanted to, we could just take our enemies off the map...eliminate their existence, make no bones about how it is: We take the road less travelled. We come in, negotiate, assess, and advise those around us, having the history of mankind at our disposal, and try our best to stop [mankind] it from taking on the same old arguments, means to an end and idiots-ville-retorts.

The emergencies are always first, the thing is sometimes entities who devise chaos, seek out diversion tactics, distracting us, appealing to our sense of human dignity, humanity at risk and still try to address the average citizen of worldwide communities.

 
 

The thing is: we don't have too many folks who we will rely on to put their troops out there in front with us. Don't tell us that you don't agree with the reasons for war, the approach and the problems it conveys to your community, because we were there for YOU TOO...

The world community knows that we do not tolerate demagogues, so they will advise, offer diplomacy and really complain amongst themselves that they are asked to help clean up the mess' that are commonplace in our world.

You do help out, but nobody really has the ability to handle all that is going on without the help of the international community.

 
 

 
 

 
 

Are we that stupid or are we just largely misunderstood?

While it is a truism that customary widely accepted ideas, like life, dignity and the human condition are to be guarded, we have gone too far in the name of progress. I.E. ABORTION: Not necessary, but performed daily. The integration of belief systems and the urgency to spare the lost and confused, to keep up the appearances of our daughters and sons as good children, good citizens and good persons, a diatribe of force, sorrow threats of a daunting future, bleak prospects, future poverty, asceticism  at its best..We seek to free the foolish young girl, the victim of incest, the victim of rape and the tragedy of loosing our youth to the unborn. at no time is this new arrival to be seen as a threat to our wellbeing, but since your new place at the adult's table is set, you as an unwed mother may well spend your time, all your resources, and your energy explaining why things are going the way they will for those who have little or no support in the community...The worst of all is these who are amongst us who are what I call, "Holier than thou" folks.

 With all our follies, our weaknesses our dogmas, systems, standards and lessons, I heard it put best in the simplest form: "Everything I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten"

 Case in point: Civil society and yes, It's Discontents?

While it is a truism that customary widely accepted ideas, like life, dignity and the human condition are to be guarded, we have gone too far in the name of progress. I.E. ABORTION: Not necessary, but performed daily.

The truth remains that the only difference there is better planning, better support within the family and NOT better character. In fact, I really, personally admire those women who in the name of wholesome dignity, in the name of life, are tolerating the opinionated, dogma, shame-slinging losers who are just luckier, sneaky about their private lives, better prepared and not as affectively charged as these moms. WHEN we speak to these women, some are happy to have their child, regardless of the circumstances, trials, and devotion required, they don't have much too much to gain, by having their baby beyond the beauty and good living of someone who "walks the walk"

I cant even afford to take care of myself let alone a third child...that's my explanation and Ill answer to GOD for it.(Four) I had four children, my husband had just left and I needed to work and take care of them, I did (have an abortion) because I needed to be there for my kids.(Four) I'm pregnant, I'm having it and were getting married...(two weeks later), I'm not pregnant, were not getting married and I feel awful &C...Five: Did you get your period, (your name) Why do you ask me everyday? Because you were abused and she's afraid you are pregnant, yet she does nothing to protect this child from the abuse, the only solution she sees is: make sure you use birth control.

The identities of these women are in my confidence and the only purpose if the dissemination of information the kind of information that SAVES YOUTH AND SAVES LIVES...

YOU do see that America is fighting wars everywhere? Why are we always out-front, being shot down, making our soldiers seek, rescue and restore dignity and be questioned for our motives? Why is commerce a motivating factor for peace? HOW silly of me? I should wake up?

Look at the Maslow scale one more time.  We, all of us, have unlimited needs in every area of scale, but AMERICA is pulled from top and bottom, because we have a value system that says intrinsically: "I am my brother keeper." (Whether it is an overt, professed statement or just in our mind-set because of our customs, rituals-religion of sense of responsibility, is a meaningless distraction).

Come to America, defect, declare yourself a refugee and we will comfort you. That is in our treatise, composite persona and entrenched in our value system. It is true that largely, until a nation takes on the work of lifting up the poor, providing training, jobs, and infrastructure we never will get those folks past "I'm tired, I'm hungry and I'm not safe here &C....

We are seeking to do our best to comfort, console, construct and re-fabricate the decent-living that we take for granted to any and all places around the world. Largely we are, as I have seen, being judged as intolerant, self-serving and indifferent. We are largely, I dare say, misunderstood. If we stop doing business with those that threaten diplomacy and democracy and our standard of living, then you would hear these folks wanting to come to the table of negotiation to appease their citizens. When the average citizen takes up arms, in a militia toward the westerners, they are lost in the translation: "We are REALLY here to help you. You are not living as good a life as you may think, you have sold out and are settling for less that you deserve as a citizen of THE WORLD; we are a global society, in the information age, into our own homes. You may believe that the west is decrepit, degraded, dilapidated, down on morals and up on efficiency, productivity and commerce.

Civilization only prospers when everyone involved in the process is determined to give something back to those who have not evolved their sense of community beyond talk. No where in the world should there be folks who are not part of the fabric of the world. We are largely now a citizenry of ideology vs. history. Most countries do not give up on traditions of men, on the way it has always been done, (Anything) that is new, innovative and progressive is sometimes seen as a great hindrance.

 
 

America is a success story in the civilization of our world. Yet, we are often perceived as power hungry, intolerant, selfish and deadly. We are treated as if we are greedy foreigners who are involved too deeply in the affairs of other nations. We have time, attention and dedication to the concerns of our fellow humans, citizens around the world.

We are the breadbasket, the collection-plate of subsidy, the referee, the concerned neighbor to the world. IF we wanted to, we could just take our enemies off the map...eliminate their existence, make no bones about how it is: We take the road less travelled. We come in, negotiate, assess, and advise those around us, having the history of mankind at our disposal, and try our best to stop [mankind] it from taking on the same old arguments, a means to an end and idiots-ville-retorts.

The emergencies are always first, the thing is sometimes entities who devise chaos, seek out diversion tactics, distracting us, appealing to our sense of human dignity, humanity at risk and still try to address the average citizen of worldwide communities.

 
 

The thing is: we don't have too many folks who we will rely on to put their troops out there in front with us. Don't tell us that you don't agree with the reasons for war, the approach and the problems it conveys to your community, because we were there for YOU TOO...

The world community knows that we do not tolerate demagogues, so they will advise, offer diplomacy and really complain amongst themselves that they are asked to help clean up the mess' that are commonplace in our world.

You do help out, but nobody really has the ability to handle all that is going on without the help of the international community.

 
 

Are we that stupid or are we just largely misunderstood?
