Marlon,
Money does grow on trees.
Money is made from paper which is made from trees.
The last time I tried to explain this to you here, I even gave you the name of
the Canadian
company to buy that makes paper for money. The share price of Fortress Paper
has gone
up 400% in the last 52 weeks.

I think you hit the nail on the head here.
If you take this line of thought a step further, when you are hit with a
catastrophe such as
Hurricane Katrina, it is the responsibility of the unaffected members of
society that you live
in to help out the weaker members of the same society. The strong have to
support the elderly
and the weak. Anything less would be to return to the law of the jungle.

Viv,
The US is the only nation in the Western world that does not offer its people
basic,
universal health care. What Obama has accomplished is a political masterpiece.
Sadly
enough, the people who will benefit the most from this are those who do not
vote.
Earlier this evening, someone sent me a news clip which claims that the
attorneys
general of 13 states are now suing the US govt. I love this. Essentially, US
residents
are suing themselves. However, I do understand the pain involved since the
state govts
are broke and have no money to pay for the medical bills that will be coming
their way.
Wait a minute!
If the state govts find it difficult pay medical bills without going bankrupt,
how can you
expect the average US resident to pay for catastrophic sickness without going
bankrupt
too? Again, I will point out that most bankruptcies in the US are by people
who HAD
health insurance.

Yep, there are staggering amounts of money involved. I can still show you how
to profit
from all these changes.
