News today provides evidence the government should probably enact a law to require everybody to read specified tweets or texts on a regular basis. You know, like one of those Mao-esque horror scenarios fed us by our anti-Communist school teachers back in the day. One article stresses how people aren’t aware about new laws governing holders of provisional driving licenses.

Another article indicates Haywood County voters may not know where to vote, because most of them have been redistricted. At a recent political meeting, attendees were doubly concerned because on top of redistricting, Buncombe County now has county districts. If you don’t know in which election you should vote, you might visit this site:

Even so, the article in the Mountaineer warns:

Although the majority of the redistricting tasks are complete and going through the auditing processes at the state level; [Haywood County Director of Elections Robert] Inman urged county voters to be mindful that there will almost certainly be issues arising that will need additional research by the Haywood County Board of Elections and other organizations in order to provide the most accurate voter information possible.

Seeing how perfectly government works in informing citizens how they may fulfill their basic duties, as if to set everybody off, the legislation that had to be passed to find out what was in it has reared its ugly head again. The newspapers report the president released an “ambitious blueprint” to “tackle the huge logistical challenge” of socializing American medicine.

For things to go smoothly, state and federal officials must work together to verify private personal and financial details for millions of people, make sure that consumers are enrolled in the right health plan, and accurately calculate how much government aid, if any, each household is entitled to.

Health insurance exchanges may not be a bad thing, although they might put a lot of insurance agents, who engage in one of the few remaining profitable careers in the country, out of business. Requiring states by federal mandate to set them up is crazy and altogether ooky. If the states cannot set up an exchange amenable to federal standards, then the federal government gets to set one up. The mass media assures us people with employer-provided healthcare plans will not have to switch programs – provided they like the higher rates they pay for not getting the product they subsidize for others with their tax dollars. Republicans, reportedly, are giving the president a hard time as he tries to withdraw $800 million from his magic money stash.

RomneyCare is lauded as a great success in Massachusetts, but no reference is made to the common belief that socialism can work in homogeneous cultures, but generally leads to violence in cultures where, inevitably, a large number of givers find themselves worse off than the takers they are funding.

“Most” Americans will be required to carry health insurance. That is downright scary for those of us who are afraid of doctors. If there be Orwellians among us, afraid their political or religious persuasion may lead to a diagnosis treatable by a drug to stunt one’s brain into thinking like members of the other party, is there no refuge left for conscience? Will we all be put on a First Lady’s diet plan to obtain perfection in leanness? What about all the horror stories about pedophile doctors and malpractice and general? Must people who feel fine and choose to go naturally be subject to invasive probes by incompetent perverts to happify their government?

Unfortunately, the collective country is so lost, it has to wait for a decision from the Supreme Court to determine whether or not the Interstate Commerce and General Welfare clauses give Congrefs the power to require citizens to buy a particular product.

Numerous outraged patriots have been telling the beast to begone, but the powers that be just keep on keeping on. If there is a name or a criminal charge for people who infiltrate government to usurp it, it isn’t politically-correct enough to mention in “free speech.”
