Feedback from Ray

Ray dropped in for a coffee at the Uncommon Grounds Saturday on his way to buy healthy produce.  

I have two items to publish here that came out of the discussion.

1.  The "Health Industry" that Mr. Obama is highlighting as a greedy bunch of profiteers is #86 in industry rank.  They make 3.3% profit. 

I recall reading, but this my memory talking, if you know what I mean, that 23% of the health industries' cost result from government regulation. You know, the government has to tell doctors what to do. For my part, I would never get involved in a business that has a history of a 3% profit (unless hired as a well paid suit.)

If we are going to destroy this business, we might as well go after the "Publishing Periodicals" business as they make 21.8%.  You know, Time, NYT, Washington Post.  Its about time the government took over the press and made sure we all get magazines every month.  The constitution is irrelevant, right?

Besides, its those publications that let Obama get away with lying.  Ray was actually miffed by the big profits being made on people's health. 

President Obama: There have been reports just over the last couple of days of insurance companies making record profits, right now," Obama said during a prime-time news conference. At a time wheneverybody's getting hammered, they're making record profits, and premiums are going up. What's the constraint on that? ... Well, part of the way is to make sure that there's some competition out there.

2.   Ray said he was annoyed that I hadn't mentioned that the drug companies were behind the Codex Alimentarius, the attempt of world government to control food.  I thought I did.  They are all for it. They get to sell you Vitamin C and stop you from buying things like nattokinase or L-Argenine to prevent strokes and improve your arteries. 

Monsanto wants the codex because they are upset that your garden may infect their genetically altered crops. Seriously. They will sue you if seeds wind up on your land and grow there.

Big Pharma, the UN, fascists, socialist, corporate farms, and morons (Senator McCain) all agree. So you know the Codex is a bad thing.  Buy seeds now and put them away.

I think most of what I say here falls upon deaf left ears, to use about the only descriptor that makes sense (I would say "yin"),  but everyone has to agree that we do not want Big Everyone telling us we can't grow our own corn or make dandelion tea. 

We are going that way, so you better vote everyone out. Perhaps, even our left-eared people can get a sense of what is bothering those on the right. Time to listen.
