It's like taking a crappy football team and trying to fix the problem with

But the feds current answer is to create another football team, buy new
uniforms for their team with taxpayer dollars and then expect all the teams,
including theirs, to suddenly start performing well.

Maybe government has to be the answer if we're going to address the problem
of the vast number of people who could afford insurance but choose to spend
their money elsewhere. It's going to require the government forcing them to
buy insurance or pay some tax that is used to fund health insurance.

On the inside of the system - hospitals and insurance companies etc: Greed
and stupidity are the two root causes of waste in any enterprise. The
problem now is either people are profiting from the waste or they're too
immoral to care or to stupid to notice. Even if the government or private
industry itself massively overhauls healthcare there will still be the same
problems if it's still the same people involved. It's like taking a crappy
football team and trying to fix the problem with new uniforms. If in the
healthcare reform heads will roll then it stands a chance of working, but I
don't think anyone is talking about that.

I believe the proposed changes have only dealt with the insurance side
(government provided and more rules for the private sector insurance
providers). On the healthcare provider (doctors, hospitals) side I believe
they've only talked about rules. Maybe new government clinics that provide
healthcare at discounted rates would help drive down costs in the private
sector. What works well in Venezuela is the private and state run systems
are separate. It doesn't matter how bad the state run system gets because
you are free to go to the paid clinics, which don't charge exorbitant rates
because it would drive everyone to the public system. What I worry about
happening here is we lose a completely free and unfettered option. If the
government really can do it better and cheaper then the private sector will
follow suit. If the government needs to stifle the private sector and strong
arm people into their plan it only shows they can't compete.

actually includes an explicit provision saying the exact opposite (i.e. you
explicitly cannot be jailed for failure to pay this specific tax).

We're installing a Dragonwave Horizon Compact system and I'm not quite sure

First off, this unit has dual copper ethernets (1 for PoE/Data, 1 for

We know how to ground the radio above, and the cat5 below at the PoE / 
Lightning Arrestor.

What we don't know is what to do with the ethernet cable above.

We're using the Belden 7919A outdoor shielded cable, as recommended by the 
Dragonwave Quick Reference Guide.

Can someone tell me if the ethernet cables need to be grounded near the 
radio at the top of the tower?

This is on a water tower, btw, and we have a ground cable going from the 
ground rod directly to the radio (#6, about 150').  Other side is on a high 
school rooftop, grounded directly to a rod (#6, about 200').  Again, not 
sure what to do with the radio-side cat5 cable.

Any help would be appreciated, as we're to have this project completed by 
Friday and into testing phase.

Thanks...

Re: [WISPA] OT: Property taxes

Sounds like it to me but taxation without representation has been accepted
for years. Any progressive tax system (like the US) with different rates for
different incomes is taxation without representation. Governments can do
whatever they want unless there's a sufficient number of objectors to
revolt.

Hi,

I wanted to share this scenario and see if it's the same around the 
country, or just here.

We own the building our office is located in... however, none of the 
actual owners are located within the city limits where the office is 
located. This isn't a big deal, except we are unable to vote on any of 
the issues because none of the owners are in the city limits. So, when 
it's voting time, especially with tax related items, we are unable to 
cast our vote... even when it affects the amount of property taxes we 
have to pay on the building.

Taxation without representation? It sure seems that way to me. Anyone 
else have similar experiences?
