I was appalled and disgusted when I learned that the Pima County Republican Party, the county where Gabriel Giffords was recently shot by a madman, is auctioning the same brand of pistol used to shoot Ms. Giffords, in a fundraiser for the County Republican Party.

I don’t know if this is a stupid and insensitive mistake or another vicious attack on Congresswoman Giffords, but the people responsible need to be fired and the Republican Party needs to issue an urgent and heartfelt apology to Congresswoman Giffords, her family and the community at large.

In an atmosphere of hysteria and intolerance, we cannot allow even the suspicion of acceptance for the use of violence to enter legitimate political institutions.

Shame on you Pima County GOP

SPEAK OUT NOW:

I do not want health insurance, I want healthcare. The issue seems clear-cut to me; Buy insurance for your car or your home, but not for healthcare. Unlike car or homeowners insurance, you will use and need healthcare on a regular basis, even if nothing bad happens. (Vaccinations, annual check-ups, flu shots, pregnancy, etc.)

We buy insurance to protect us against a "potential" loss, we do not buy car insurance planning to use it, we buy it in case we have an "accident". We know we will use our healthcare even if we never have an accident. In a well-designed healthcare system, much of the cost would be wellness care and prevention.

Insurance is designed to pool resources from a large group to pay for the losses of a small group. Many people pay for auto insurance every month and never collect a cent from their insurance company, because they never suffer a loss. Insurance is a great vehicle for providing protection from catastrophic losses by a small number of people by sharing the risk among a large group.

Mass protests in France, over the government handing billions of dollars to the same idiots who are responsible for the economic crisis, (Sound familiar?); thousands of workers in Kiev demanding job protection and unemployment benefits; fears of violent protests in China; Bank of America joins with other large corporations to block the Employee Free Choice Act, with OUR money in their pockets and their vaults. So what do Americans do? The UAW accepts a ban on strikes or other job actions, workers lose Trillions in retirement benefits so we cut back on Starbucks and we say give Obama a chance.

As the failed and destructive Presidency of GWB comes to an end, I am compelled to reflect upon the circumstances that allowed this mess to happen, how it continued for such a long disastrous time, and how we can prevent a recurrence. Even as GWB parachutes to riches and comfort, leaving an historical legacy of disregard for the law, financial collapse, and the brutal and willful destruction of two countries, in his wake, he tells Larry King, he has made no mistakes.
