I’ve refreshed the page a couple of times this morning but still get nada! » Posted By Mightywoof On June 8, 2010 @ 4:36 am A Mandate for Civil Disobedience Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I have never watched KO (I don’t watch American TV) but, boy oh boy, what I have missed!! That’s one POWERFUL opinion piece. And the article by Bruce E. Levine clarifies so many of my thoughts about why society in North America (not just the US) has become so content to just let things happen TO them instead of making sure things happen BECAUSE of them. If the provisions of this bill are as bad as you fear them to be (I don’t disbelieve you – I just don’t know any facts of this bill other than what I read and hear) then perhaps civil disobedience is the only route to go ……… and, as drastic as your suggestion may be, Kalima, I love it! The States seem to have come a long way from ‘give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ ……… the last beacon of freedom seems to be the ‘left’ – the ‘right’ appears to think that freedom simply means being left alone to wallow in your own ignorance and poverty and hate (with your gun and six-pack by your side). » Posted By Mightywoof On December 17, 2009 @ 6:51 am I didn’t read it that way escribacat. I think he was using drama (wrong word and my brain can’t come up with the correct one) to demonstrate the difference between the BO’s approach and FDR’s. Both president’s supported a new policy approach – FDR knew that if he supported it, the naysayer’s wouldn’t; hence ‘make me do it’. BO adopted a conciliatory approach to be bi-partisan (and avoid the Clinton debacle); hence ‘don’t make me do it’. Given the Republican methodology of ‘just say no’ perhaps Obama would have been strategically smarter to have said ‘now is not the right time, there’s too much else to be done – make me do it’. Who knows – I certainly don’t 🙂 » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 1:04 pm “I » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:32 pm Hey back atcha Javez and thanks – I’m having a blast so far!! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:26 pm Sorry BDM – I only just saw this. We got him from the pound so we don’t really know. They thought he was a Jack Russell but I have been convinced he’s a rat terrier (or ‘b’rat terriers as they are known – with affection or fear I’m not too sure). » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:23 pm Guilty yer ‘onor LOL » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:20 pm This whole anti-abortion business just gets my knickers in a twist (insert an evil-face smiley here) – and that man should be the first in line when science finally figures out how to make men pregnant – sheesh! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:15 pm Apologising in advance, I’ve just been to the Dark Side and read this very interesting pov on why bad strategy lost healthcare reform http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-neffinger/how-we-lost-healthcare_b_392275.html Perhaps this is the problem with being reasonable rational political creatures (as we all are here) – we ask only for what we think is possible. If we were to be totally outrageous in our demands then the ‘reasonable, rational’ pol would be able to enact the kind of legislation we wanted in the first place (ask for the sun when you only wanted the moon in the first place). Food for thought? » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 12:13 pm A very apt analogy Kesmarn. Government spending should not be about how much is spent but on prioritizing that spending – and in my life experience there are very few conservative governments in the world that have health, education or the common weal as their priorities. We can all debate HOW much should be spent on health etc., but, running against a conservative pov, so much energy is wasted in trying to get through to them that if a government takes care of the people, the people take care of themselves. » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 11:43 am I have a kitteh (Kitty – 19 1/2 years old and hanging in there) as well as a goggie (the original Mightywoof!), Boomer – we’ve also had 2 beagles and 2 cockatiels – so I love all animals and all folks who have and love animals!! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 11:28 am Thankyou for your welcome – and please call me MW or Woof – it’s easier on the fingers 🙂 I’m afraid all can add to the discussion is support and well wishes – oh yes, a sense of moral outrage (as unproductive as that may be) » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 10:09 am As a Canadian (and as someone who was born and raised in the UK) I cannot tell you how sad I am to read this article this morning. I felt such hope that single payer would actually happen for you all but that hope has been diminishing steadily from PO down through the HCR list until now, it seems, you really are being left between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Please, please don’t give up the good fight – somewhere in your difficult-to-understand (for me anyway) political processes there has to be enough pols of good will to do the requisite strong-arming. Now I have to go read-up how this site works so I don’t commit too many egregious newbie errors!! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 9:43 am This seems as good a place as any to introduce myself. I’ve been reading HP (AKA The Dark Side) since the summer and some intriguing hints led me to follow the breadcumbs over here. I’ve been reading your articles and comments for 2 or 3 weeks and Adlibs article today about the current HCR situation prompted me to finally take the plunge and become a member. I think I said just about all there is to know about me in my profile but I want to say, at the risk of repeating myself, that I have so enjoyed reading you all since I first peeked in your front door – you have proved that civil discourse IS possible on the interweb. You are also somewhat intimidating – lovely, lovely people but, oh my gosh, so intelligent. I will have a hard time keeping up with y’all 🙂 Edited to unhyphenate Adlib’s name! » Posted By Mightywoof On December 15, 2009 @ 9:55 amComments Posted By Mightywoof
