In our self mastery we can express our tenderness and strength, transcending all that is imbalanced and turn to all that is good in ourselves, in each other, and in our universe.

A History Lesson?

Roosevelt Understood the Power of a Public Option

By ADAM COHEN

As governor of New York, Franklin D. Roosevelt crusaded for "public
power," government-owned electric plants. He was outraged by the high
prices that monopolistic utility companies were charging and by their
refusal to bring electricity to rural parts of the state, which, they
said, could not be done economically. Public plants, Roosevelt said,
could bring power to those who needed it and serve as a yardstick for
measuring and keeping in check the prices charged by private power
companies.

Many decades later, a major point of contention in the debate over
health insurance reform is the so-called public option, a government-run
program that would compete with private insurers. Critics have tried to
paint it as a wild-eyed experiment, but it echoes F.D.R.'s battles for
public power — in fact, the entire New Deal he later created. The
argument Roosevelt made — that a government program could fix the flaws
in a poorly functioning private market — applies with even more force in
health care.

In the early 20th century, electricity was a hot political issue. It was
expensive and did not reach many parts of the country. To Roosevelt, it
was an important social justice issue. "When he talked about the
benefits of cheap electricity he did not think in terms of kilowatts," a
top adviser said. "He thought in terms of the hired hand milking by
electricity, the farm wife's pump, stove, lights and sewing machine."

When he ran for president in 1932, Roosevelt made public power a
cornerstone of his campaign. In a speech in Portland, Ore., he explained
that it could be a "birch rod in the cupboard," which the citizenry
could use to punish private power companies that were gouging the public
or not providing good service. Critics accused Roosevelt of Bolshevism,
but he was not deterred. Public power was no more radical, he said, than
the public mail.

F.D.R. championed public power as president. During his first 100 days
in office, he backed a bill to create the Tennessee Valley Authority, a
federal authority that brought affordable electricity to an impoverished
40,000-square-mile stretch of the rural South.

Roosevelt had hoped to create other projects like the T.V.A., to
establish yardstick pricing power on a national scale, but it proved to
be a heavier logistical and political lift than he expected. In 1935, he
brought government into the electricity business in another way. By
executive order, he created the Rural Electrification Administration,
which used federal money and local farm co-ops to lay electric lines in
parts of the country that private companies had no interest in serving.
The R.E.A. drove down electricity prices and helped bring lighting,
sewing machines and radios to the 90 percent of rural Americans who were
without them.

The whole New Deal was in a sense just a series of public options, some
more optional than others, that offered government as an alternative to
the often-flawed private market. The Farm Credit Administration and the
Home Owners' Loan Act used government funds to save farms and homes of
Americans who would have been foreclosed on by private lenders. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation saved the private banking system
by insuring savings accounts, which made the public willing to put money
back in private banks. Social Security, all public and no option,
rescued older Americans from living their final years in poverty.

A public option for health care could work much like the yardstick
Roosevelt envisioned public power becoming. A publicly run health care
program could compete with private insurance companies, which have a
record of overcharging and underperforming.

Private health insurers and their allies in Congress argue that
government is too inept to run a health insurance program and that it
will be too costly. Actually, government already does that — for the
military and in Medicare and Medicaid. As for cost, opponents of the
public option may fear it would work too well — that to compete, private
insurers would have to keep their prices down and the quality of their
services up.

The private insurers and lawmakers who oppose the public option also
claim it would be a radical break from how things have been done in this
country. In reality, it follows directly from the New Deal tradition
that created many of the mainstays of American society.

Calculate your role model

Each of us is the result of the influence of many people. However some
individuals have played a significant role in our development, They are
often called "role models", "heroes", "people we idolize" or feel an
unconscious attraction to that we consciously or unconsciously imitate.
Perhaps you know who that person is, or perhaps you don't.

The world renowned Sir Trevor Rigelsworth, Ph.D, has given us a simple
way to determine our role model. It is easy and only takes a minute and
it may surprise you.

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?

Be sure not to peek! You don't want to skew your answer.

Try this - it's really neat ...
Don't look at the answers:

1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9

2) Multiply by 3, then

3) Add 3, then again multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the
calculator....)

4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number....

5) Add the digits together

Now Scroll down ...............

With that number, see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:

1. Einstein
2. Oprah Winfrey
3. Mother Teresa
4. Randubius Raji
5. Bill Gates
6. Johann Von Stueckenberg
7. Brad Pitt
8. Babe Ruth
9. Al Marshall
10. Barack Obama

*I know... I just have that effect on people.... one day you too can be like
me..... Believe it! *

P.S. - Stop picking different numbers!! I AM YOUR IDOL, JUST DEAL WITH IT

Take this to bed with you, Your spouse will not mind

 

---

 

 

What to take to bed with you - not a joke . 

Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before.  

 

 

Put your car keys beside your  bed at night
 I keep mine right next to my 380. semi-auto. 


Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across.  Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.  The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:  It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.

Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. 

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.   After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.

This is something that should really be shared with everyone.
Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.  


It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.  


I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic.
