		<description>You offer a good point, my friend. I would probably be in your camp on this one. I&#039;m so disgusted with the whole situation I read little about it. BP leaders are collecting their money, not as much now, but this feels like a small issue for them. Money is the issue not the environment. 

It&#039;s also been about 6 months since your last post, glad to see you putting your voice out here again.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The Constitution very carefully set up a system to protect rights and potential problems seen at the time it was first adopted.  Among those ideas was the concept of balancing power.  No state or group of states could take over power simply because they were bigger and had more population.  To guard against total rule by the populous states, the Senate was created with each state having two votes.  That lead to some balance.  The large population states could pass a law that was harmful to the small population states, but it would be reversed in the Senate.  Good idea &#8211; balance. &lt;/i&gt;

		<description>Yep, I read your blog and have you on my feeder. Whenever you post anything I should get a notice. 

I agree our medical care system is in trouble. I agree with the need to take care of the ill and elderly as a moral problem. My fee is a change is needed within the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies, not the physicians. Expecting government to fix it for us is unreal, it starts with us. Too many CEO&#039;s make incomes and receive bonus checks that could pay for several peoples yearly premiums.

Yes, I will be here to read your posts. I need to! You help me think and analyze what my views are. I have a tendency to sit back and not get involved.

Love ya!</description>

		<description>Larry, 

Of course you are right, there are many concepts not mentioned in the Constitution.  So what?  If any action or inaction results in lower civil rights, the courts can declare it not constitutional.  If any such action prevents  what we now need to secure individual rights, property, or liberty, then we are expected to fight the action and pass a law or ask for court interpretation.    

The Constitution very carefully set up a system to protect rights and potential problems seen at the time it was first adopted.  Among those ideas was the concept of balancing power.  No state or group of states could take over power simply because they were bigger and had more population.  To guard against total rule by the populous states, the Senate was created with each state having two votes.  That lead to some balance.  The large population states could pass a law that was harmful to the small population states, but it would be reversed in the Senate.  Good idea - balance. 

Now we have the Senate, already powerful for the small population states, inventing rules that upset the balance.  The smallest 16 states with less than 20 percent of the population can prevent the biggest 26 states with over 60 percent of the population from acting for their people.  This &quot;abuse&quot; was never intended.  Majority rule is a rule for a reason.   What we now have is the tyranny of the minority.</description>
