President Obama's Healthcare reform suggestions have fallen short because they amount to a "Stimulus Package" for Insurance companies. That is the wrong answer because Insurance companies created this access problem. What's the solution? How do you guarantee access and limit costs for healthy people-"Rebates."

Bayh's Bombshell Backfires?

baco — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 07:14:41 -0500

Actions speak louder than words and this is the exact case in the shocking announcement by Sen. Evan Bahy concerning his frustration with partisan politics. His solution is controversial and must be instantly rejected by Democrats. Is surrender the answer? What does Sen. Bayh's decision and actions tell us about our politics? Do quitters win?

The War On Unemployment

baco — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 09:32:05 -0500

Let's get serious about creating Jobs and rising unemployment for a minute. If the government is serious about creating jobs and lowering rates of unemployment, why is it nobody cares why you got fired and can't get a new job? If you did something that speaks for itself, you earned your status. Don't we need to ask why and fix the real problem?

My Reservations For The Tea Party

baco — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:49:06 -0500

Why does the main stream media give little or no love to the Tea Party? Is it perhaps due to the fact that the media sees these "Rebels" for exactly who and what they are? I have my reservations about this Tea Party too. I think this party is by "Invitation Only." Is the GOP serving tea instead of their traditional yucky "Koolaid?" You betcha.

Perfect World

virgil — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:36:08 -0500

Stalin tried it. Hitler threw himself at it. But to no avail. A good majority of us want real peace. We want equality but there is still wars and poverty all over the world. What's the answer, and can it be achieved?

Zones Of Security

baco — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:37:46 -0500

The old model of airports is a dying paradigm that should be abandoned. We have all seen Homeland Security try to adapt by forcing us to almost fly nude. How rude? What should we be doing instead of stripping? Why can't we design airports around "Zones of Security." Why do we provide access that takes almost anyone directly to the plane?

Troubled Brands: Toyota, NFL and Obama

baco — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:47:04 -0500

Talk about "Troubled Brands" and which one is actually worse? Toyota can't stop, the NFL can't reach agreement, and Obama can't figure out what he is doing wrong. These are all troubled brands, but some can easily be fixed. Would you rather be Toyota, the NFL or Obama? As bad as it may be, I'd rather be Toyota. They have a plan to fix it.

There's been a fast and furious argument offered by the GOP concerning a hypothetical question of concern to every American and the World. What would we do if we found and captured Osama Bin Laden? The first question would have to be "Dead or Alive?" If alive would we "Mirandize" him? What court on Earth could Bin Laden get a fair trial?

itchyfeet — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 00:49:12 -0500

Europe. That diverse continent renowned for its culture, beauty and (unfortunately) large price tag. Last summer I managed to survive a month and a half traveling from Barcelona to Paris on nothing but a lowly student's budget. Doing so forced me to stray from the tourists' beaten track and discover exactly what Europe has to offer. Chapter One.
