I read the papers this morning and was dismayed! PUBLIC OPTION LOSES IN FINANCE COMMITTEE (Senator Baucus Committee) FIRST BY FOUR VOTES, THAN A SECOND ROUND BY 2 VOTES. This brought my demeanor down no end! Then I read the commentary on the Huffington Report that renewed my hope just a little bit. Could this be possible or wishful folderol posted in a liberal website?

It at least made me feel better.

Read it: Growing Momentum for Public Option Click on the hypertext to get you there.

Why is this important? Because: Hope for something better is always good. Is there yet some compassion possible in the political process? Or is it all bought and paid for by the moneyed bunch?

Why am I on this soap box seemingly crying into the wind? My wife and I will make it one way or the other. But my God! We have a responsibility to the generations that follow to correct the mistakes of our most recent past. We are a commonwealth. This means we have a Common Purpose, a Common Good. It doesn’t mean Common Profits for the Fittest. We as a Compact of Government hold all that comprises Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for the benefit of each other.

Having Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) underscores the urgency of this issue. The pain and burden of it complicated by the cost of it are incredible.
