That reminds me of a story of a WWII vet, a hero who often wore his medals.
Someone remarked that the guy seemed to have a swelled head because he preened
around in public wearing medals. Another vet said: "Listen, I was with him when
he won those medals. If he wants to wear them in the bath that's fine with me."
If Obama gets health care reform through, does something to fix the war in
Afghanistan AND allows cold fusion research then as far as I am concerned he
will deserve every medal ever issued, including the Olympic medal for Live
Pigeon Shooting.
Anyway, I told Peter Hagelstein to attend this and try to buttonhole someone
from the administration. Knowing Peter, he probably ignored the message from
the University Administration.

from the Obama administration is a fast track R & D push for energy including
Cold Fusion in its various permutations and hopefully some new & novel
approaches relative of cavitation etc.
The planet has granted Barak a pass for the moment on skepticism and that can
stand to be a very good thing.
Universal Health care should come under the current National Health Service
that we now administer excellently on the nations Indian Reservations. This
would expand employment for Physician/Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioners
and support staff to the tune of CCC successes during the depression.
Goverment as a social-contract employer is 'not' communism but rather a viable
'of the people by the people for the people' device which thrives under
quasi-military type management which we already know how to do quite well.
Social innovation is good whereas its antithesis is Government Mandated
compulsory control by private institutions such as the Mega
Insurance/Healthcare international cartels which are largely lobbying away the
American Constitutional freedoms as we speak.
But the major point here is that this expansion of the existing
quasi-military-modeled National Health Service MUST be rendered as TOTALLY
SEPARATE from any and every form of 'Insurance' which currently is tantamount
to throwing the population to the greedy Super-bank owned World Insurance &
Health Care cartel which has rendered(and is further rendering) so-called
progressive first world countries such as our own to be defacto
Credit-Insurance slaves. This has dictated massive inflation and mandatory
addiction of our population at large to the kind of defacto mandatory
Insurance-Inflationary hamster-mill 'quasi-non goverment controlled TAXATION'
(minus any protective representation).
And this dismal spiral in turn 'insures' that in addition to the never ending
manatory credit inflation of durable goods like shelter, health care, and
transportation etc. that future generation WILL NEVER HOPE TO OWN ANY TANGIBLE
ASSETS and the little guys & gals will never pass on tangible assets to their
heirs. Tangible assets will ownly be the purvue of the top tier elit. And a
socalled Government Insurance Program would merely be piling on to future asset
hopelessness to our young & yet-to-be-born descendents who we've already
strapped with an impossible debt load.
Is this Marx's formula for the fall of America's once sterling promise a la'
Adam Smith that everyone could 'truely posses and control his or her slice of
the pie?'
Political Scientists oft point out that Marx's ideas of 'evolution to
communism' were screwed up in Russia because they skipped the necessary first
stage after Monarchy of going to free-opportunity little man capitalism; which
is quickly fading from the American landscape by the way. When lecture-circuit
in America Alexander Solshenitzen pointed out that the American Dream that he
had always hoped to share was actually on this 'seriously perilous decline;
then old Alexander
abruptly censored/canceled from the lecture circuit.
Obama Kennedy National Health Care as a Mandatory Insurance scam would be
disasterous for American. -JO- But 'pro-science/pro Energy' absolutely! I'm
for Obama and I hope he can transcend the Monstrous Pressure of the
Banking/Insurance international cartels.
