Molly Ivins: The politics of greed
AUSTIN, Texas (CREATORS) -- I don't get it. What's the
percentage in keeping the minimum wage at $5.15 an hour?
After nine years? This is such an unnecessary and nasty
Republican move. Congress has voted seven times to raise its
own wages since last the minimum wage budged. Of course,
Congress always raises its own salary in the dark of night,
hoping no one will notice. But now it does the same with the
minimum wage, quietly killing it.
Anyone who doesn't think this is a country where the rich
are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer needs to
check the numbers -- this is Bush country, where a rising
tide lifts all yachts.
According to the current issue of Mother Jones:
# One in four U.S. jobs pays less than a poverty-level
income.
# Since 2000, the number of Americans living below the
poverty line at any one time has risen steadily. Now, 13
percent -- 37 million Americans -- are officially poor.
# Bush's tax cuts (extended until 2010) save those earning
between $20,000 and $30,000 an average of $10 a year, while
those making $1 million are saved $42,700.
# In 2002, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, compared those who
point out such statistics as the one above to Adolph Hitler
(surely he meant Stalin?).
# Bush has diverted $750 million to "healthy marriages" by
shifting funds from social services, mostly childcare.
# Bush has proposed cutting housing programs for low-income
people with disabilities by 50 percent.
A series of related stats -- starting with the news that two
out of three new jobs are in the suburbs -- shows how the
poor are further disadvantaged in the job hunt by lack of
public or private transportation.
Meanwhile, for those who have been following the collapse of
the pension system, please note a series in The Wall Street
Journal by Ellen Schultz taking a hard look at executive
pension obligations:
# "Benefits for executives now account for a significant
share of pension obligations in the United States, an
average of 8 percent (of large companies). Sometimes a
company's obligation for a single executive's pension
approaches $100 million."
# "These liabilities are largely hidden, because
corporations don't distinguish them from overall pension
obligations in their federal financial findings."
# "As a result, the savings that companies make by
curtailing pensions of regular retirees -- which have
totaled billions of dollars in recent years -- can mask a
rising cost of benefits for executives."
# "Executive pensions, even when they won't be paid until
years from now, drag down the earnings today. And they do so
in a way that's disproportionate to their size, because they
aren't funded with dedicated assets."
It seems to me that we've seen enough evidence over the
years that the capitalist system is not going to be
destroyed by an outside challenger like communism -- it will
be destroyed by its own internal greed. Greed is the
greatest danger as we develop an increasingly
winner-take-all system. And voices like The Wall Street
Journal's editorial page encourage this mentality by
insisting that any form of regulation is bad. But for whom?
It is so discouraging to watch this country become less and
less fair -- "justice for all" seems like an embarrassingly
archaic tag. Republicans have rigged the "lottery of life"
in this country in ways we don't even know about yet. The
new bankruptcy law is unfair, and the new college loan rules
are worse. The system has been stacked so that large
corporations have an inside track over small businesses in
getting government contracts. We won't see the full
consequences of this mean and careless legislation for
years, but it starting to affect us already.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
When the universe understands you will settle for
nothing less than your dreamed objective, it gives
up and then starts to help you reach it. Think on that.

Detoxification
A Natural Body Function: Does It Really
Need To Be Helped Along?
PART 10 of 11
These symptoms occur because the body is ridding itself of
the substances that have been making it toxic - not only the
materials that have accumulated in the colon, but also the
antibodies and other substances that have built up in the
individual cells, interfering with their normal functioning.
As these substances are ejected out of the tissues, they are
dumped into the system, making the body temporarily more
toxic until they can be excreted. This is partly what
produces the symptoms of the healing reaction. This effect
is accentuated by the body's process of tearing apart
defective tissues, repairing damaged cells, destroying
parasites or infective agents, and otherwise producing
debris from the re-construction. I find that the more severe
the individual's condition (the more toxic his or her body
is), the stronger will be the healing reaction. Because the
healing reaction is caused by the flushing of toxins out of
the cells, the strength of the reaction also depends on how
carefully the individual is following the recommended
nutritional program. The more correctly the program is
followed, the stronger will be the healing reaction.”
Many people choose to do a more prolonged, more natural
detoxification or cleansing. This is usually achieved by the
use of nutritional supplementation. (GIGO) That should
result in gentle continuous exchange of toxins and usable
nutrients. It should not cause a severe and dramatic release
of toxins into the systems of your body. The huge concern I
have with the use of detox products and systems is twofold.
1) You are starving your body for a period of time and it
goes into a survival mode (like dieting). 2) You are
overwhelming your body with toxins and that has to affect
all parts off your systems. This is exactly why drug
detoxification for serious dependencies must be dealt with
under medical supervision. If something goes wrong, help is
close at hand. No one ever anticipates any problems. We just
think that happens to someone else. Could you possibly be
next? I hope not!

PERCEPTIONS . . . by Ken Darby
-----------------------DISCLAIMER
Some around me think I am an opinionated old goat.
Whether that be true or not I will sometimes, in this column,
talk about things people don't like to talk about - or don't want
out in the open. Take it all with a grain of salt.
Do your own thinking, and don't accept the things I say as
gospel. They are only mental meanderings from a simple soul.
-----------------------END DISCLAIMER
I need hardly comment on the Title Article today. The author
thereof has placed a clearly negative slant on conditions in
America.
I did notice, however, her use of the "winner-take-all"
phrase. What caught my attention s that is exactly what
Gorbechov said in a recent interview. He said that Americans
have a terrible disease, worse than AIDS. He said it is the
"Winner-take-all" disease. That is the reason for the
world's backlash against Americans.
It is really not a pretty sight when it is also practiced at
home. The rich will truly become richer and the poor will
truly become poorer. What isn't stated in the report is that
it is the middle class that pays all these bills. If you
find prices rising because of taxes, your taxes rising and
generally finding it tougher to make ends meet then it might
be these policies set up by the government.
The author made another statement that I heard more than 50
years ago: America will not be destroyed by outside forces,
rather, it will be destroyed from within. That pretty much
sums up what is happening. Their greed will kill them.
Funny isn't it how man's greed seems to get in the way and
how it causes no end of problems? Man's pursuit of money has
now got him in a place where he may not be able to recover
from his greed.
Is it any wonder people, yes, even Americans, live in fear?
Everyday they wonder where their next meal is coming from,
what their future will be, what kind of a world will they
leave for their kids and grandkids. I don't blame them.
Intuitively they know they are on the wrong track and
everyone of them thinks that the only solution for them is
to have more money. Having more money will somehow get them
over the hump, never to worry again. So like lemmings they
chase after the dollar only to find, one day, they have
destroyed their "system".
Worse yet, there is no cure within man's purview. Anything
he does to "fix" it will only make it worse. History has
well shown that to be true.
So what do you do? How do you find peace of mind, peace,
prosperity and security? You know you will not find it in
man's world.
The only solution for those who want it is to learn to go
inside and commune with your Maker who lives therein. There
is no "God" sitting on a "Throne" in a place called "Heaven"
who sits passing judgment upon you. Your only "God" lives
within your own breast and as you become quiet, still, and
learn to commune with your Maker your life will change
dramatically.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Quarantine: Where does the word "quarantine" come from?
From the Italian quaranta, meaning "forty." In early days, a
ship suspected of being infected with some contagious
disease was kept outside of port for forty days-
"quarantine."

HA! HA! HA!
Two women are playing golf on a sunny afternoon when one of
them accidentally slices her shot into a foursome of men. To
her horror, one of the men collapses in agony, both hands in
his crotch.
She runs down to him, apologizing profusely, explaining that
she is a physical therapist and can help ease his pain.
"No, thanks. Just give me a few minutes. I'll be fine," he
replies quietly, hands still between his legs.
Taking it upon herself to help the poor man, she gently
unzips his fly and starts massaging his genitals. "Doesn't
that feel better?" she asks.
"Well, yes. That's feels great," he admits, "but my thumb
still hurts like hell."
