Fighting again for the same Afghan real estate

September 26, 2010 by Sri Leave a Comment

Be skeptical of the crocodile tears the ruling elite shed over our soldiers.

Didn’t we fight for Kandahar about 8 years ago? Useless spilling of American blood. “So far this year, 354 American soldiers have died in Afghanistan, more than the 317 who died in all of 2009”.These statistics should enrage all Americans.
Write your Congress to bring our “boys and girls” back with out any delay.

Health Care Reform: Overall Grade B

Health Care Reform Analysis

This article is by Jacob S. Hacker (a professor of political science at Yale) and Carl DeTorres (a graphic designer). It is worth your time (a few minutes, at most) to read it, and see if you want to fight the Republicans’ plan to “mess” with this Reform. Don’t let their latest ploy- Pledge to America -fool you. I plan to post other opinions, especially opposing views about this new law. As the famous journalist Walt Lippman wrote: “The truth emerges only from a collection of opinions”.

Beware of the Ides of November….

G.O.P. Cites Tax Cuts and Health Care as Main Focus

NOTE: The rich can bypass this posting without injury

I am not a “blind” supporter of any political party. Don’t listen to either major party. Frankly, I wish we had more options when it came to political parties. Just imagine- a country with just Coke or Pepsi, when it comes to soft drinks.

Vote selfish in November – what is economically good for me and my children. That means, you will have to spend about 15 minutes a day reading/listening to the news. Only an informed electorate can save America from the Democrats, Republicans, Tea Partyers. . .

The new health care law,with all its flaws and uncertainties, is likely the best damn thing that has happened to this country. No more insurance company denials of payment for: “”pre-existing conditions” “lying, when you did not tell me you had cat-scratch fever when you were 3”

What has the Republicans offered except obstructionism? If I have missed something, please let me know.

Do you love your children?

The national debt is about $13.5 T (trillion). This means each one of us (man, woman and child) should add about $45 K (thousand) to our other debts.

Enjoy your wars and shopping.

Briefly, I am a pharmaceutical scientist, university professor (retired), and a patent attorney. I have also tutored 4th-11th graders in math. My CV (see link below) will tell you more about me. I created this website mostly for educational and informational purposes (please visit the publication section). Hopefully, you will find these writings useful. And, yes, if somebody can use my “skill sets”, as Liam Neeson of the “Taken” movies’ fame might say, that will be wonderful too! I can’t wait for his next movie! Really.
