Recent Commentary and Dialogue from Linda Z in Texas on Certain “Issues”

People argue against "socialized" medicine. The current system that we have now is that if you are not poor enough to be on Medicaid, but you are pretty poor and working class, you can not afford health care, even if you have insurance, it doesn't cover everything or it might not cover anything, even certain life or health maintenance medications. And who might be left out of the good health coverage equation? The same young people who are signing up to go to Iraq and Afghanistan, often from lower income neighborhoods and in some cases to earn citizenship. And when they are sick and injured in battle, they struggle to get dignified healthcare.

What are the numbers of white people verses, African American and Hispanic who have no health insurance or who are underinsured? What are the number of people who die by race, because they have no insurance or they are underinsured? An example was on Congressman Kucinich's website, (about a year ago) the kind of dental care a young African American boy in Maryland, Prince George's County, North of the White House, received and too late when he had a dental infection and he died.

What else do I mean by Eugenics, when talking heads say the surge has been working in Iraq? Well, did the surge only have a chance of becoming effective, after the U.S. government did not keep statistics on how many people died in the ethnic cleansing before and after Bush and Cheney's 2003 invasion and after so many people died in the ethnic cleansing after Saddam was removed and so this helped the surge to eventually be effective?

In the U.S. 1930 - 1960: The most popular female contraceptive is Lysol disinfectant.

I'm saying in cultures which do not put a value on birth control, do not put a value on teaching women to be the architects of their own bodies and using birth control/family planning, putting a value on waiting to have children until they are in a mature developed relationship or married, is there also a lack of labor standards, for example, what are people being paid, how many hours a day are people working, how is safety in the work place being supervised and what actions does the community take to make the production of goods and services sustainable for the environment?

Like U.S. factories on the Mexican side of the U.S. border?

What do I mean by Eugenics, lack of availability of birth control and lack of labor standards? Even in places where the U.S. military isn't enforcing divisions of one kind or another, what does "culture of life" mean? What George W. Bush talks about? People are expendable or as George W. Bush says, you're on your own.

Congressman Kucinich, when he was running for President, said he would get rid of NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO because he wanted to have a system where labor standards and environmental standards are addressed. President Bush says we can not rescind our agreement on the NAFTA treaties, but it was President Bush who has used his power under his crony connections to undermine labor standards in the U.S. by placing CEOs sympathetic to his business interests on the National Labor Relations (NLR) Board. And it was President Bush who withdrew the U.S. commitment to the Kyoto Treaty.

When U.S. companies move their manufacturing plants to Mexico and China, they place profit margins as a priority over treatment of workers and leaving a smaller trace of damage on the environment. People in China say they are coming to a time when they can no longer see the sun and clouds from the mass pollution. It is as if the workers/people of China are expendable. When there is no regard as to a sustainable workplace, leaving mass scars on the environment in certain ethnic or poor areas of the world, and also no regard to the safety of a clean water supply, which is required for human sustainability, this leads to EUGENICS, the spiritual and physical murder of large numbers of people of a certain race, ethnicity or socio-economic level, however gene is a part of the word, eugenics so this would mostly pertain to race, religion and ethnicity. And when birth control is left aside, this allows a society to produce of a working class people with no regard as to the quality of life.

U.S. citizens are expendable. Right now the talking heads are talking Obama vs. Clinton after the popular vote seems to have deemed Obama the winner. The nomination process has not concluded yet, because in the Democratic Party, Clinton can take advantage of an undemocratic process and lobby for the votes/selection via super delegates over-ruling the will of the people. Are we moving towards a one government rule where people in the United States, who are not part of the Bush/Clinton power grid, will be as equally bad off as the people in China under a Communist government. When you look at the USA PATRIOT ACT and the undermining of FISA laws that are supposed to protect U.S. citizens and the fact that only half the people who lived in New Orleans before the hurricanes can live in New Orleans now, could we the people, as a massive movement, have imagined this deterioration in the way things are going in our country before the 9-11 attacks, before the 1993 Word Trade Center attacks?
