Yet, the Beatles' legend is, at least, based on some merit. They were the best band in the world in their day and there's been little to change that in 40 years. Everything about popular music and pop culture changed, largely due to their influence.<br /><br />John Lennon, as a man of peace, garnered a lot of attention for the cause of world peace, but never lived personal peace. His gimmicks never really changed anything, unlike the Beatles' music. That's the distinction I make.ourboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15734445572948903891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440594851036425354.post-31104742791963967442010-01-12T15:54:35.399-05:002010-01-12T15:54:35.399-05:00I like this post.

I do like their music, it IS catchy, and fun...and somewhat uplifting at times. But the idolotry that seems to encapsulate The Beatles has always turned me away.

It's nice to ...Thank you lawyerchik and Karen. It's nice to finally have comments.<br /><br />While I certainly have my own opinions, I do not pretend to be an expert in healthcare matters (or anything other than simply being me.) I am not against reform. If this country can find away to provide more, or even *gasp* universal, healthcare for our citizens without ruining what DOES work in our system, I'm interested in hearing about it.<br /><br />My rant, if you will, is more about the sense of entitlement that some people seem to have. SOME (and nothing I've said is intended as any sort of universal statement) people want something without making sacrifices to get it. This is a massive problem in our society and explains the housing market collapse and the billions and billions in credit card debt we have. <br /><br />When someone tells me that universal healthcare is the only answer, I'll listen. What I next want to hear from him/her, though, is what he/she is willing to give up or chip in to get it. I don't care if someone has a nice TV or goes to Vegas, but if you need health insurance coverage YOUR money should go in the kitty -- even if we're talking a widow's mite -- before my money does. Why? Because I'm already paying for my healthcare and co-pays and stuff that's not covered. No one has stepped forward to relieve me of that obligation and I would not want them to do so.<br /><br />That's all this is about. Let's have reform...with sacrifice. We can't just print more money to make sure everyone gets insurance. We're going to have to dig deep and actually finance this reform with real money.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the thoughts.ourboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15734445572948903891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440594851036425354.post-6644134705724962012009-09-23T12:57:57.739-04:002009-09-23T12:57:57.739-04:00I think it made you laugh because the description ...I think it made you laugh because the description becomes more and more ridiculous (and juvenile) as the author progresses.

Here are my com...I also got here through Pink Dot. Here are my comments: The vast majority do not own $1200 TV or go to Las Vegas a few times a year or go out to eat that much. At least I know I don't. I know it is costing my employer double what he paid four years ago for my health care coverage. If he were not able to pay that, I certainly would not be able to pay it. I wouldn't be able to pay it now so I would go without health ins. coverage. I am 63 and that certainly frightens me if I were not to have health coverage before I would be eligible for Medicare at age 65 (for which I have been paying into for most of my adult life). What I most resent is the fact that there are people living in the US that got here illegally and I don't understand why we don't understand the word "illegal". What don't we get about the meaning of the word "illegal". Illegal is illegal and if you are here in the US illegally, then you don't deserve any benefits INCLUDING EMERGENCY ROOM CARE and you certainly do not deserve Social Security if you live here in the US illegally and then go back to Mexico or wherever you originally came from and then collect SS.<br /><br />So, after all of the above being said, I am for a BIG change in health care here in the US. Thank you for considering my comments.<br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440594851036425354.post-12165675272181988902009-09-22T15:39:23.747-04:002009-09-22T15:39:23.747-04:00I got here from Pink Dot - GREAT post!! :)I got here from Pink Dot - GREAT post!! :)lawyerchikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380575753051472156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440594851036425354.post-61820364625886261872009-05-25T23:25:13.480-04:002009-05-25T23:25:13.480-04:00Sadly, I think my enthusiasm for this business pro...Sadly, I think my enthusiasm for this business probably did scare off some people at one point.
