Thank you Ben for finally writing the truth. It's time for everyone to get over this lie that racism is a one way street. This in-your-face racism that isn't racism (?) that is promoted by the lame street media has been laughable for quite some time.
Refreshing to see it so succinctly addressed.

Dr. Adams,
Here! Here! Very informative, interesting, and considered.
Thank you ;o)

You wrote:
Both married men and married women are happier than their unmarried counterparts. And, for married women, there is an added bonus: They are clearly safer from violence than unmarried women.
My question (I am sincerely asking this and not trying to be a smart aleck about it):
What information do you base your posit on that married women are "clearly safer from violence than unmarried women." When you say "safer" what all is encompassed in that?

He did say "not one dime". I wish someone would address that instead of just repeating it over and over. Just how many dimes would this add to the national debt when the cost truly kicks in? He also said "words matter" and I'm sure he thinks he's so smart (and sitting there laughing at us with his buddy Rahm) to have all of us repeating that single phrase over and over and not getting it - it will add a whole lot of dimes to the national debt.
He also needs to be asked if the plan is so good why his select group of Americans aren't also forced to be on the health care reform plan his cronies are trying to shove down Americans throats: Congress? Hmm? He needs to be asked that question and an answer demanded. Lead by example...

What a wonderful, refreshing read. Absolutely put a smile on my face.
I cannot wait for the next installment.
Thank you

Everyone is concerned about the costs of healthcare as the babyboomers age. No one has addressed the topic from this angle:
There is a beginning, middle, and end to the number of boomers who are aging. Many of the male boomers have health problems they incurred from serving in Viet Nam. The public healthcare option known as the VA currently takes care of many of them and not to well at that.
The rest of the boomers will rely on Medicare. private insurance,or a combination of both.
My question is how long will this healthcare cylce of expanded care for the largest segment of the population last before it starts to drop due to the death of the boomers?
Won't the costs then go down overall?
Isn't this much ado about a...
