Stanislav Petrov was on duty in a bunker in USSR in 1983 when computer reported one, then up to 5, inbound ballistic missles. He broke protocol and did not reciprocate with full release of Russian missles. Ended up saving the world from World War III and got forced into retirement for it.
Stunning piece of history, I hope.
An LP produced by the American Medical Association with Ronald Reagan discussing universal healthcare, socialism, runaway government, and how we, as citizens, can stop it.
Oops, just 6 months into office and the Honeymoon appears to really be over.
Scroll down to find the “Stimulating the Stimulus” clip, then watch it…
And then go ahead and watch all the other clips!

So much talk, not so much action…
Here’s the quote:

Yet now, somehow, government will run auto companies and guarantee us health care better than private firms? And the public seems eager for that!
Walter E. Williams, a great thinker, writes about how when the stuff hits the fan Americans start demanding that Government do something, despite the obvious polling data showing our belief that our politicians are thiefs and crooks.
Whoa! Chuck is afraid of someone?
Yep, Read about it here. He piggy-backs onto the editorial letter written by retired CEO of Proctor & Gamble Lou Pritchett.
Yes, he really did say that. But no, he didn’t say that in response to healthcare changes he was planning. Here’s the article.
But his healthcare plan is, in plain truth, all about fairness. It won’t matter how hard you work or how picky you are with your employer. Everyone will be entitled to equal healthcare. Now, I agree that we all should get great care but I do expect each of us to make an effort to get it. And if you choose to make no (or limited) effort, you should be rewarded (in true Darwinian style) with no healthcare.
