Today I hear you have MS. You are presenting your medical condition to the American people in order to demonstate how you can relate to the sufferings of the common man.

OK, Mrs. Romney. I understand MS is a burden. I have a niece with MS. I have friends with MS. I've watched them struggle and suffer, with oftentimes less care than they deserve.

How is your care Mrs Romney? Can you easily afford the best doctors and the best medicine known to man? Do you fly off to high end clinics staffed by the rock stars of the medical profession?

Do you?

I suspect you do.

If I'm wrong, forgive me, but I would make a very high wager that I am right.

If I am right though, you have just paraded your condition in front of America for the sympathy vote effect, and that disgusts me at a level that I doubt you can comprehend.

The sneer on my face speaks volumes, doesn't it?

So, he should have kept secret about it, and sought the cheapest medical care he could get?

Politeness prevents me from saying what I feel about the person who started this thread and the people who think MS is funny if it happens to a rich person.

I feel sorry for you though.

[vision-master]

He don't care about poor people does he?

The guy is a total shill for the wealthy class of americans, the ones who are destroying this country.

Saw a photo today of Americans on Wall Street looking distraught about their bets on the
world market vis a vis the dynamics of multinational corporation capitalism. This is the sh*t.
The essential deal, the goods, the core of the malfunction. When American directly or via
brokers and wizards and hedgers of the best caliber the world has ever know are locked to
their communication devices to find out how they did on the sweat and labor of people somewhere
else, or plays in minerals, materials, or finished good somewhere else, or the brilliance of software
or computer hardware somewhere else, they have consigned themselves to live the fate that is
dictated for them somewhere else. When farmers have to play the futures market to hedge against
the variability of Nature in Chicago, when people have to bet on China or Brazil to educate their
children in North America, and when if Greece goes t*ts up or not due to their belief in the welfare
state and how that impacts their retirement, the system has gone snake and tied Americans to a
basic state of expected income outside of community, individual effort, or some sort of local
collaboration, accommodations, or something in their power to compromise, set right, or prove
themselves to be a competent or decent or bad player.

The world community does not have to destroy local community, integrity, personal history of good
or bad aspects, or society. But if the whole deal is the race for quick profit, which it is.
It is going to do it every time. The American people are lashed to a wealth extraction pump
that delivers the goods at the top tier which is not national but is multinational corporations whom
deliver political candidates of choice for lower level slobs to pick amongst and expect some
sort of sensible result at a community level.

Other than that the sicknesses, weaknesses, strengths, charisma, pithy language, personal
attraction of individuals, etc. etc. are all fine. So let's use this unrelated criteria to pick
a leader of America.

This is not to say that today's politicos do not see the big picture. The difference is the
belief that you as an individual are anywhere of real importance in this big picture during
the process. Give up your vote for the best marketed entity and then cross your fingers and
legs, and of course eyes, so you can see two of them.

If you bought the right stocks and the Chinese man rides to the factory on his bike and
the price of oil and steel stays low enough, the bank that fined your ass off last month
for nothing has a Chinese toaster to offer you for signing up to online access to your
checking account. This is a fantastic consumer value, try to get tow toasters and offset
your Christmas shopping burden.

Oh yeah: Read the fine print on bank stuff. They reserve the right to reserve the right
to deny you almost every one you have. They have the money the government prints them
and hold them harmless on. You need it. You are a Type O financial blood donor.
They are Count Dracula with the Treasury basement to sleep in at night where is is dark
and anonymous and you can smell money to sleep like a baby.

If you cannot be self sustaining and good at a local level and then branch out to trade and thrive
and build alliances, the rotten core you are in is a death blow and not a road to easy living nor
retiring with grace nor a system to give to your progeny in any form whatsoever.
What this means is that you do not "get" the new paradigm that runs your nation.
So please get with the program as soon as you can.

Best,

E

[SeaGypsy]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 'M')S progresses rapidly. Or it's supposed to.. I wonder what her treatment is, she looks great to have had MS for 14 years.
