where do you think the money will come from?
We can't have another socialist program - i.e. universal

Capitalism, capitalism. We worship it. It is the answer to all our
dreams. But what is capitalism?... It's nothing but a giant pyramid
scheme. Think about it. The top 10% controls 90% of the wealth of this
country. Doesn't that tell you something? Is this fair? And please don't
give me that old line - if you work hard enough you could be rich
too.


That top 10% is an elite group. An exclusive group. And they know full
well that if too many people get in on the action their wealth will
dwindle. So the members of Congress, who are definitely part of that
elite 10%, and are guardians of their cronies estates pass the laws that
keep the rich rich and the poor poorer. The sad part is that the poor
either cannot or will not see this. If it wasn't so sad it would be
funny. I know so many people that totally believe the rhetoric of the top
10%. We can't have another socialist program - i.e. universal
healthcare - because that means it would raise our taxes. It just
doesn't make sense to me. And it scares me. It's scary that these top 10%
have so much control over the psyche of those less fortunate in this
country. It's like bringing lambs to the slaughter. And we are more than
happy to go along, just as long as you don't raise our taxes.

At 09:49 PM 10/17/2009, John S. said something that elicited my
response:

 

In most industrialized nations
socialism is alive and well. Most choose a blend of capitalism and
socialism. The US has reached a point where the super rich are so far out
of reach of the middle class that it is embaressing. The poor in our
country are not poor by choice. Everyone should be able to see a doctor
without going to an ER first. Over 70% of the people in the US (mostly
children)that have died from H1N1 were uninsured. 

It has gotten so bad that many hospitals do not accept uninsured people
at all. They do, however, accept government funding. Where I live I can
only go to hospitals that get county funding. 

Corporations get much more welfare and taxpayer money than do welfare
recipients. 

The fact that the government declared so many banks and insurance and
investment companies, too big to be allowed to fail, should
tell you we are socialized...for the super
rich.  


If you think Rush is giving advice to the conservatives, remember, he
supported Bush until he left office and Rush is a drug abuser that hires
illegal aliens. If he made 20 million less a year then he would be in
prison. 

The rich own the justice system. Do we just wait untill they own the
medical system, too. I feel that we have a chance to do something
good for the American people if the bunch of millionaires in Washington
can come to a healthcare solution. Remember, TARP funds would have paid
for CMS for the next ten years. The money wasted in Iraq would have paid
for every American child that wanted to go to college.

Isn't it strange how so many people in other countries can get a power
wheelchair repaired without a congressional mandate?

What the GOP calls socialism --like a public healthcare option, for

It really all depends on what you want and need. I hated my TDX3, but really
like my TDX5.

I think it was the True Track. I'm not sure if the TDX3 has it. The TDX3
was just jerky. While driving in a straight line, you know how you make
slight corrections? The TDX3 would jerk with each correction. You could feel
the motors click and jerk each time. While the TDX5 would smoothly make
slight corrections. You could not feel anything. The only thing I saw on the
TDX-SP didn't mention True Track. I didn't see the TDX3-4-5 listed on the
Invacare site, so maybe they have a new system. I would need/want a faster
chair, but some don't. It's a personal preference.

But my TDX's have been good chairs.

Re: [QUAD-L] A camera question

2009-10-21 Thread bob quinn
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm a C5-C6 with calcified-curled fingers and 
decent range and strength in both arms.  

I take lots and lots of pictures, and use both hands to shoot: Left holding the 
mini tripod (for regular, panorama shots) while I press the shutter-button with 
the tip of my right index finger.  For sideways shots (portrait), i put my left 
fingers around the body of the camera so the lens (sticking out about an inch) 
rests on the lower-half of my left index and the mini-tripod rests on my hand 
and wrist.  I then use the knuckle of my right middle finger to press the 
shutter-button.

For me to do it one-handed, I would have to use my mono-pod as the camera 
mount.  I would extend it to rest on the floor between/behind my feet, and 
steady it against one of my legs, so i could press the shutter-button.  It 
would be tricky, but do-able. 

Other than the 6-inch tripod I mentioned, I've had no success with tripods 
(unless they are short-legged and on a table).  My mono-pod works great, though 
I like my little Elph with the 6-inch tripod best.

how do you guys press the button on these cameras? I can hold them all
right but I can only use one hand so pressing the button is really
hard.

response:

 

I had been using larger cameras
(all Canon), sometimes using a mono-pod for stability,

but last year i got a Canon PowerShot SD770 IS Elph', which is
smaller than a cigarette

package.  With a 6-inch mini-tripod (a Sima st-101) attached it has
been a pleasure to use!


Sorry, but I don't remember what i paid for it.


FWIW: I like Canon because they seem to have truer colors.  I bought
a Nikon for

my daughter once and hated the way faces always came out
whitish.

Hi Everybody,
   I'm in the market to buy a GOOD
digital camera not exceeding $225 like the Nikon L 100 I need guidance
and pointers - do's  don'ts. I can't handle the skinny, skinny
digital light cameras. I'm thinking of mounting the camera on a trek tech

Hi Bobbie,

I have a Kodak 760 Easy Share that I really like. Before you buy one
though make sure you can turn it on  off as some are difficult for
our curled fingers.
