paramount makes a good point: “But a great man’s reputation can withstand a full accounting. And, truth be told, Jobs could be terrible to people, and his impact on the world was not uniformly positive.”

A significant percentage of the American people are declaring that less government regulation is needed, and that regulation and oversight are “job-killers”. I, myself, believe that this is a patently ridiculous claim, and I have yet to see anyone in a position of authority present an actual documented case that proves how judicious oversight/regulation caused any well-operated previously successful corporation to go out of business. In fact, the roots of today’s horrendous economy can certainly be traced to a LACK of oversight and enforcement of regulations on the top execs and owners of financial institutions and businesses who intentionally engaged in business practices that posed a high risk to their employees, their customers, and to the nation.”
Even with regulation though, if you have enough money you can get around the exemptions: “SACRAMENTO — Unable to mediate a settlement with opponents of a football stadium proposed for the city of Industry, the California Senate approved a measure Wednesday that exempts the project from state environmental laws. http://articles.latimes.com/2009/oct/15/local/me-stadium15”
Seems to me politics and money compromise science and commonsense. Or to put it another way, for the people in charge, money talks.September 26, 2011 at 2:01 PM in reply to: OT- Is Sunshine a Natural Cancer Cure for Melanoma, Prostate Cancer, etc.? #729798VeritasParticipantHere you go eaves- not sure if you like the Huff Post or not, but here is an article on Roundup Ready crops. I wonder if all the food allergies are not to the food, per se, but as a reaction to being poisoned by this chemical cocktail. The article says the the Sec. of Ag. is deregulating RRA. This will be fed to animals and the chemical then will work its way into humans via the animal products we ingest. Here it is:
“Recent research claims that Monsanto’s Roundup Ready genetically modified crops contain an organism, previously unknown to science, that can cause miscarriages in farm animals. This disturbing find comes on the heels of Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack’s decision to deregulate Roundup Ready Alfalfa (RRA). Roundup Ready is designed to survive Roundup, Monsanto’s weed-killing chemical.”

I have heard good things about D3. I am not so sure that NIH or any of the other government sites are any more honest than the quack sites. Some in the corporate medical profession seem to profit from keeping people sick rather than curing them. No need for you to attack me or come up with your pathetic two conclusions. You obviously have some kind of axe to grind and I do not. The only reason I would not recommend the sun is if the radiation from one of these nuke plants spreads, but I am sure the government will continue to lie and say all is good. Keep drinking that NCI and NIH Kool Ade.
You probably think Roundup Ready 2 Yield® food is good for you because the government has approved of it, too.
September 24, 2011 at 8:18 PM in reply to: OT- Is Sunshine a Natural Cancer Cure for Melanoma, Prostate Cancer, etc.? #729742VeritasParticipantI agree. D3 seems to be a key ingredient.
VeritasParticipant[quote=CONCHO][quote=Veritas]Just curious how you pick a physician in TJ. Do you have someone who recommended one or?[/quote]
Yeah, I know someone who’s been down there and had good experiences. There is a pretty big medical tourism business there now, just google “medical tourism tijuana” and lots of stuff will pop up. People from all over the US fly to SD to go down there for treatments. Of course I haven’t been yet so maybe it’s not that great, I will know soon though…[/quote]
Thanks. It might get to that for me, too.
VeritasParticipantWhat’s good for the goose: “Grassley said, ‘It’s only fair and logical that top administration officials, who fought so hard for passage of this overhaul of America’s health care system, experience it themselves. If it’s as good as promised, they’ll know it first-hand. If there are problems, they’ll be able to really understand them, as they should.’”

VeritasParticipantIt is all Bush’s fault:
“General Motors (Government Motors [GM]) in 2008 received Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) coin. TARP being the first of the giant government violations of the private sector – about which then President and capitalism assailant George W. Bush ridiculously said “’I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.’”“These multi-trillion dollar government money anvils – TARP, the 2009 alleged “stimulus,” Cash-for-Clunkers, Cash-for-Caulkers, ad nauseum – have been repeatedly dropped on our collective economic heads.”

VeritasParticipantHearing Confirms ObamaCare Increases Costs, Uncertainty for Employers
WASHINGTON, D.C. | March 10, 2011 –
“Today, the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions held a hearing to investigate the rising cost of employer-provided health care and its impact on workers. Members of the subcommittee heard testimony that described a number of factors contributing to the growing expense, including the Democrats’ recent government takeover of health care.”
http://edworkforce.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=228704VeritasParticipantMore Crony Capitalism from the Dems: “The Daily Caller is reporting that George Kaiser, the billionaire Obama campaign bundler who later convinced the administration to provide $535 million in taxpayer funds for Solyndra, contributed $10,000 to the Urban Health Initiative, a notorious program created by now-First Lady Michelle Obama while she was at the University of Chicago Medical Center.”
And the beat goes on.
VeritasParticipant“The U.S. health care system is deeply, deeply broken and Obamacare is going to make things even worse. Health care is one of the top reasons why American families get pushed into poverty.”
VeritasParticipant“The U.S. government has just released a bunch of new statistics about poverty in America, and once again this year the news is not good. According to a special report from the U.S. Census Bureau, 46.2 million Americans are now living in poverty.”
