Sedition:
an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority and tending to cause the disruption or overthrow of the government Sedition is a term of law which refers to overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. … The Republicans have stirred up [...] I’m so proud that the healthcare bill has passed. In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications. That’s stunning. My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive group [...]
Many readers will get this after tonight’s State of the Union, so I decided I wouldn’t talk about what I hoped and expected to hear, other than in relation to my thoughts after attending an incredible conference yesterday. The VerdExchange Green Marketers Conference was held for a select group of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, government officials, [...]
About a month ago my daughter wrote a letter to President Obama. She had an issue that she felt he needed to know about from the perspective of a 9-year old. So she created a well-considered rough draft of her letter, then found the right stationary, drew lines on it so that her letters [...]
When you turn 50 that sets you up for a series of tests to see how unhealthy you are becoming. So far I’ve had my annual physical…resting heart seems to be fine. Waiting on the blood tests. Mammogram fine. Bone density…not so good. Some calcium deterioration. It’s called “osteopenia”. Fun. Still have the stress [...]

On August 20th, I wrote a blog post (again) about healthcare reform. In it, I focused on the cost of insurance for anyone not insured through their employer, or with a pre-existing condition. One reader, Lisa Alkana, made a very good comment, on what to me, seems like a basic human right. Her comment [...]
You’d think the country had been built on sound-bites. “Death Panels”, “No coverage for seniors”, “a bankrupt America”…those are words that make the headlines. I’ve been accused of not having read the bill by readers who have also not read the bill. Here is the section of the bill that provides for counsellors for [...]
Listening to the sound bites coming out the mouths of “regular Americans” showing up at town hall meetings to “discuss” health care reform, you’d think we lived in a society on the verge of a civil war over health care. I’ve been watching, with great interest, the mouthy, screaming attendees, drowning out our ELECTED [...]
By now, the news of Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s comments to the GOP that defeating healthcare reform would “break” Obama is old news. That conference call comment struck such a sad, sad chord in my heart. The polarization of politics has absolutley trumped the welfare of the American people. Isn’t this country supposed to be [...]
