The moral test of government


Posted: Feb 27, 2011

It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
Hubert H. Humphrey
US politician (1911 - 1978)

Government Is Not The Solution To Income Inequality. Government Is TheJan 10, 2016
How I wish that people knew more about the history of this nation, and about the expansion of government with more agencies, more laws, more regulations, more inspections, and other impediments to personal success that has occurred especially since the 1930s, and in which NONE of the parties in power have been blameless. Folks, we now have officials shutting down lemonade stands and fining people for collecting rainwater from their own roofs.  If you have a koi pond in your back yard, the ...

Anybody Had An NCV Test?Jun 10, 2011
Well, after putting up with this wrist/hand pain for way longer than I should have, I finally went in to see my PCP yesterday. She told me I would have to have an NCV of the upper extremities before she could advise me further on what could be done. I called the facility yesterday and was able to get it on Monday morning at 8. I'm a bit nervous as I've never had this done before. Is it relatively painless? What should I expect? They told me it would take about an hour and not to wear a ...

Democrats Losing Moral Clarity On Israel...Jul 21, 2014
found interesting. They explain a lot about the generally negative view that American liberals have of Israel.... "But on the left, the Israeli-Arab dispute itself has been redefined. Liberals used to see the stakes with no illusions: A small Jewish democracy, an outpost of liberal Western values, was surrounded by brutal Arab dictatorships that denied its very right to exist. That moral clarity has eroded, partly because of facts on the ground over years of conflict — but ultimately throug ...

How Accurate Is The AFP Prenatal Test In Predicting Down's Syndrome?Mar 04, 2010
My niece is pregnant with her first child.  She is young, 19 years old, so she is not considered high risk.  However, in her prenatal screening, she had what her doctor called "a slightly abnormal" AFP test.  Everyone was pretty upset and I did a little research and found conflicting information.  Some say the test should stop being performed because it is inaccurate.  My niece has decided to forego having an amniocentesis because she says it will not change her mind.&n ...

We Own The GovernmentOct 10, 2013
In the current fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing the views of the American people. Americans didn't ask for Obamacare, they don't want it, but now their insurance premiums are going through the roof, their doctors aren't accepting it, and their employers are moving them into part-time work -- or firing them -- to avoid the law's mandates. Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your doctor, you can't ...

The results aren’t pretty, the paper points out. A whopping 35 percent ...
