Hurray! I am confident the health bill will pass both houses.
the A.M.A and AARP have endorsed it; what better support could you have. I hope Rahm and company go absolutely T.V. radio, internet, etc with a knock down commercial on this. I don't care how they pay for it. I'd certainly pony some money to fund the commercial. Colin, do you know what organization is doing the advertising here? Let us spread the word on that, i.e, donations for the commercials.

Good question on that dad --- I'll try and find out! Go health care reform!

ReplyDeleteDear Rondell,
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased you have joined my blog site. I have always enjoyed your thoughts on my son Colin's blog and I am sincerely glad you have joined mine.
My daughter Abby had the lead last night in "Bell, Book and Candle". In the third and final act she is caught between losing her powers of withcraft, and losing her first love; and the pathos of loss-the things we ultimately cannot change, exhibited a reality that was painful.
Somewhere between the child and the woman I missed Abby's turn from carefree little girl to a mature woman of considerable insight. Her portrayal was theatre, but, it was real, at least for me.
I read a haunting observation in the obituary of Claude Levi Strauss this week-"the realization of not being is the burden of mortality".
Now, enough of the serious, let us move on to sarcasm and cynicism.
December will be challenging for the All My Children Book Club. I am looking at various original works by Keynes, and possibly Hayek,for our readings.Although two books, rather than one, will be a challenge for us all, one of the strengths of our book club is we can blog back and forth during the month regarding observations and questions we all may have; this will be helpful to us all.Any Objections? I thought not. Joel broke the ice, and I think it works; no sense reading the book in isolation without the insights of others. It will also have the advantage of timeliness- we can relay our comments as we have the material fresh in our minds.
"On Kindness" is a disaster; but, it has given us one more rule for our Book Club- the gloves are off, no comment is out of bounds, we can be as critical as we want to be to each other, as,what use is kindness if you don't even understand it?
Onwards my colleagues.

"the realization of not being is the burden of mortality"
ReplyDeletethought-provoking quote. but getting in touch with one's own insignificance seems to me liberating. rather than a burden.
eh, skippy?
It is a burden of thought that we wild pansies do not bear.

Say what, Mr. Taylor? I didn't know that Levi-Strauss was all deep like that. I thought he just sewed jeans for a living.
ReplyDeleteRondell,
ReplyDeleteYou are my kind of girl!!!

Rondell, I do not know you, but thoroughly enjoy your responses to my wonderful, intelligent, handsome boys. Think I am a little prejudiced, well I am and have a right to. Am looking forward to more responses from you. Grandma
