| Health care legislation?Do you like pork?
Check out this article on the health care legislation currently being debated.
---a quote from the article: "While many may think the healthcare bill strictly aims to increase coverage, Levi said that is a mistaken impression. “This isn’t just about health insurance,’’ he said. “This bill is about creating a healthier country.’’
And I thought our president just wanted to make sure everyone had affordable insurance coverage.
Silly me.

| Recommended ReadingThe Constitution of the United States and The Declaration of Independence
I have a little booklet that contains both of these important texts. We picked it up years ago on a visit to our nation's capital. It was published by the Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution, Washington D.C.
Warren Burger, Chief Justice of the United States, 1969-1986, chaired the commission.
He wrote the forward which states, in part:
"This Constitution was not perfect; it is not perfect today even with amendments, but it has continued longer than any other written form of government, It sought to fulfill the promises of the Declaration of Independence of 1776, which expressed peoples' yearning to be free and to develop the talents given them by their Creator."
Included also is a quote from Alexander Hamilton, 1775
"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."
