What to remember before you scream at a Town Hall Meeting

-------------------------------

Since some small part of society shows so much shrewdness analyzing the way that the Health Care Plan will work. I wonder how come they can see the euthanasia, the socialism, the taking over the privateness of the Insurance monster (Is that bad?) and other barbarities that develop in sick minds when the underdeveloped mass get aroused by visual impact, (You mean Fox TV?)... and they can not see that other more obvious sign of mercantilism and abuse is been played with the people minds under their own noses.

Aside from pass experiences, the more gruesome been the cable TV influence, the one that in their commencement was sold to us as the one that need to be paid because "it will be without advertising" followed by the "paperless society" that happens is going toward becoming more than without paper , "cashierless", "workerless", "storeless" and finally "everythingless" except "computerless".

Some pass experiences are been settled so firmly in society, that to discuss the theme is like to call for a conference to discuss how blue the moon looks with relation to reality or how much money we save with the space program now that the rockets do not fell to earth as soon as ignition blows.

Aside from  millions of gimmicks, promises and mirages that belongs to the pass and furthermore not "fad"or "news" or "cool" to talk about it, let see just the actual ones.

For sanity reasons we will spare the investigations of the airlines companies with regards to the passenger legal rights affecting the security of airplanes, after 9/11, that have been associated to the losing rates between the measures to avoid, revenge or delay such occurrence, not counting the proper semantic to be used in their treatment, and what is good for the authorities, as far as the income of the related concern do not fell beyond the expected winning for the season.

To illustrate the point of how clogged some people have their encephalic organs, what made them potentially more predispose to the use of a well equilibrated Health support system, we will ask them, with all due respect,  why they do not react to the following conditions when we need those vigilant hawks to take care of our mundane problems.

Case in point.- One cable company will sell their clientele an accelerating system or turbo since their customers are suffering of enormous slow down in their present services. 

Give me a help here smarties, because the first thing that shows in my head if that they are tricking us.

Is like selling me tires in a bargain so later they can sell me, at high price, a custom car that can match the tires. Or infecting my computer with a virus so they can sell me the antidote later and I having to show my appreciation for it. Or selling me a gun knowing that I shouldn't fire it under any condition...   Or overcharging for a car that can run 200 mph in a place with a 70 mph limit. Is just .. paranoiac?

Case in point.- Pacific Power in California give you $50.00 incentive for your old refrigerator.

Why?... Because they are so nice, so good, so gentle that they want to avoid people the pain of expending too much money or power... EXCUSE ME?..

Where are those anti-health reform people?.

Where are those smart, concern citizens, the Howard Clarks that tell you childish stuff about saving?.

The truth is that any Power company is in the business of selling power!!

They want you to use their product. Something is fishy here, as fishy as when the Post Office sold the idea that distributing junk mail cheap will save money for the regular first class customer, the one with the letter and post card for eleven cents.

How much are you paying now as compared to what the bulk people pays?... MORE THAN DOUBLE!... C'mon salesmen, to other dog with that bone.

I'm waiting for somebody to prove me wrong. I'll give them a taste of what those dreamers will tell me:

"It will save money to use new refrigerators (they are more expensive at the moment) because you will save $300.00 a year. The new refrigerators will expend less power and will help the environment thanks to reduced pollution..."

(Yes and there is a little leprechaun under your bed.)

Three reasons why is plain BS.-

First.- Later they will sell me less power, at a higher price + the recuperation of the refund expenses + interest. Is legal, is honest and is (mainly) accepted by the population that is more concerned with the price of aspirin in a hospital that with the price of a Popsicle. No counting that the new refrigerator will cost me whatever the price -50 bucks. There is a new name for that selling scheme, is called: "clunkerism"

Second.- the pollutants reduction will be upset by the population increase anyway.

Third.- Did you ever considered the amount of pollutants that a single jet travelling from New York to L.A. put in the air as compared to all the refrigerators in any of those cities?.. Think about it.

This have been happening for years, and is OK. I guess. Whoever want to die, they die happy. Who am I to disagree?.

But pleassse do not give me those "experts" trumpeting coupons, rebates, hackers, free enterprise, "only in America", reality shows, entertainment, salvation, way of life, etc.

They are in every paper and in every screen, normally with somebody semi-naked in the background.

They are barking to the wrong tree.

There is a new generation. A generation that knows that freedom and free market does not come cheap, they know when fair trading became exploitation and when patriotism became extortion. They are learning when to compromise and  when to differentiate a honest enterprise from a crook organization.

There are a new generation that knows what freedom is and remembers like for a couple dollars the yellow press became worst than a whore, and that not only in third countries corruption is around the corner and knows pretty well what some people will do for a senate seat.

Before you start screaming like a hysterical high school girl in a Town Hall meeting, please think how to express your point of view correctly, no matter what stupid or insane is.

Otherwise remember: Any time that you spit up, it can fell in you face.
