\"Pelosi<\/a>
Ms. Pelosi says it will cost more to institute single payer health care? Bull-Chips!<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

— In the 1990’s a Connecticut Psychiatrist, named Dr. John Battista, did a lot of homework and realized that if the State of Connecticut converted itself to a single payer health care system the resulting savings to taxpayers would amount to Billions of good old US Dollars. He was asked by members of the Connecticut Legislature to write up his findings and did so, listing all the facts and figures that he’d researched to come up with his findings. The Connecticut Legislators who asked him for his help then brought his paper work to a marathon session and asked him to be available to testify during negotiations. The sponsoring Representatives came to him during any break they got and assured him they were close and getting closer. At something like 3 am, the disheartened Representatives came to him, glumly thanked him for his efforts and explained that Insurance Company Lobbyists (And Connecticut is and has been the headquarters for many Insurance Companies) came in, hit the Legislators hard with promises of campaign contributions if they shot down the attempt to go with the single payer system. Dr. Battista was so moved by this experience that he joined the Connecticut Green Party and changed the scope of a radio call-in talk show into an Activists forum.<\/span><\/p>\n

— So, Nancy Pelosi is full of you-know-what –<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Governor<\/a>
A recent landmark higher court ruling in Canada illuminated the fact that First Nations (Native America) Children do not receive benefits, opportunities or treatment equal to the benefits, treatment and opportunities given to other than First Nations Children. One Non-First-Nations child impressed a Canadian Spokes -Person by saying that “Discrimination means your government doesn’t believe you’re worth caring about.”<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

— There would be no United States of America without the help and generosity of Native Americans. I’m not 1,000 percent positive, but it’s a safe bet that Canada would not be Canada if it wasn’t for the aid given by First Nations People to settlers, and resource exploiters, of both French and English origin.<\/span><\/p>\n
