Dear Friends, There is a little hot dog stand near my office that I don’t visit too often because the Polish Dogs are soooo good, but they are so unhealthy. The other day when I stopped by, something triggered a discussion about the current millieux we find ourselves in. I started by using an illustration that [...]

Regulations are the perverse vehicle to remove all possibilities of critical human thought
Dear Friends, Obama sees Obamacare in sight and he is already campaigning for more financial reform. One must ask why the right attempts to reduce regulation, and the left attempts to increase regulation. To me, it is clear. The right knows that freedom and liberty depend on the free flow of ideas and a reasonable [...]
Irrational Government / Irrational Business
Dear Friends, Some time ago, I’d complained that the government reaction to lower usage of mass transit or parking was to raise fares or fees. Business is a bit quirky in this regard, as well. Recall the flood of paperwork earlier this year surrounding fees, etc. for credit cards. Some held their position… very few [...]
Terminology (Review)
Dear Friends, A friend used the word “liberal” this weekend and it sounded so odd at this point in time. The looney left, for a least 50-60 years, has made very good inroads into redefining our language to suit their perverted needs: liberal inclusive celebrate diversity tolerance progressive racism gay marriage choice etc., etc. The [...]
The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory – H1N1
Dear Friends, It looks like Washington is creating another crisis to enable them to grab more power and influence over our lives. I spoke to my health insurance company’s on-staff nurse about being forced to take H1N1 vaccine in the future. She so much as confirmed that being a possibility. Great! Since I get sick [...]
The Beat Goes On…
Dear Friends, Somehow I got on a time-pay scheme for money owed to the Franchise Tax Board. What a bureaucratic nightmare even at the state (CA) level. It took over three weeks for them to cash my check. It will take another 45 days for the amount to register on their ledger. The reason it [...]
More On Obamacare…
Dear Friends, At the end of this e-mail is a White House e-mail that was previously forwarded. Just below is a response to the person that originally sent me that e-mail from HIS list. I think it is a very good summary. Based on the current politics in Washington, we have concluded that taking the [...]
The Achilles Heel of ObamaCare
Dear Friends, The Achilles Heel of ObamaCare is CHANGE, where change may not be necessary. Everyone agrees that some tweaks and adjustments are needed and those tweaks and adjustments certainly depend on who you are talking to… If doctors, it is their battle with tort lawyers (malpractice insurance rates), and negotiated rates and payment times [...]
Health Care
Dear Friends, I’ve attached a comparison of various health systems around the world for your information. Obviously, it is agenda driven, and it is very short on how the various systems are TRULY paid for other than saying it is paid for through taxes, but conveniently stops there. Most systems are subsidized with little ability [...]
You been spun
Dear Friends, The next time you read the New York Times or tune into CNN, consider filtering what you see and hear through the following. GEA How Propaganda Works Note: PumaLiberty is in the process of exploring the basis of political (and related) woes currently facing our nation. While we will periodically [...]
