Apology to future generations of Americans for Obamacare (1 of 2)

SCOTUS Chief Justice Humpty Dumpty Roberts

(Sorry, I was unable to get this article to all 300 blogs and Social sites that I wanted to before the end of the 4th of July Weekend due to health and other issues)

This 4th of July and 4th of July weekend, our generation celebrates
the inspired bold acts and sacrifices of our Founding Fathers. Their
Declaration of Independence from the tyrannical aristocracy of England
gave rise to our great nation. This same generation of Americans went on
to draft our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

These documents
were based the Principles of Natural Law developed during the
Enlightenment and structured in such a way to attempt to make it
difficult from WE THE PEOPLE from being subjected to unrestrained
tyranny ever again. WE THE PEOPLE became Citizens instead of subjects.
Elected officials would be known as Public Servants, and WE THE PEOPLE
were to be the country’s sovereigns. Those inspired bold acts and
sacrifices along with the brilliantly crafted Constitution and Bill of
Rights bestowed upon WE THE PEOPLE, the freedoms and prosperity we have
enjoyed for 236 years.

At the same time, our Founding Fathers
vigorously warned us of the precarious nature of Liberty. Perhaps that
warning is best remembered in Benjamin Franklin’s words as he was
leaving the Constitutional Convention. In response to being asked “What
type of Government have you given us?” Franklin responded:

A Republic, if you can keep it!

WE
THE PEOPLE should be ever mindful of the precious blood and lives of
the Founding Generation that our Freedoms and Country were the fruit of
lest we forget or betray that generation’s great personal sacrifices.

It
seems fitting, that this Fourth of July, 2012, someone of our
generation should apologize to the future generations of Americans for
our generation failing to heed the Founding generations warnings to be
vigilant in the defense of our liberty. WE THE PEOPLE have not performed
the inspired bold acts nor suffered the hardships nor made the
sacrifices necessary to preserve the prosperity and liberties our
Founding Fathers bestowed upon our own and previous generations of
Americans through their sacrifices in blood and lives.

Some of
this writer’s generation of Americans was willing to trade Liberty for
security. Other Citizens were too busy to be bothered. Still others
wanted just to “go along to get along” so they could just live their own
lives and avoid suffering reprisals for making anyone unhappy with
them. Some were not willing to accept the potential risk and
retaliation for daring to challenge the systemic corruption of our time.
And some of this writer’s generation, including this writer himself,
let others (clandestinely and/or accidently) ineffectively lead and/or
mislead the opposition to Obamacare into the complacency with
suggestions of almost certain victory.
And some, like this writer
himself, simply did not exert the necessary educational and persuasive
effort to prevail.

Before we go further, it is often said that
history is written by the winners. This apology is written from the
perspective of those that lost the fight to prevent socialized medicine
from being inflicted on America.
Through this writing, this writer
hopes to reanimate this generation to act like freemen and demand
freedom, to embrace the rigors of liberty, to cast off the duplicitous
tyranny that has befallen us and re-inhabit the Vision the Founding
Fathers had for this County.

APOLOGY

With
so many of this writer’s generation of writer’s openly professing how
much they love their children and how much they do and would sacrifice
for them, WE THE PEOPLE would be remiss to not take the blame and
apologize to future generations of Americans for inflicting Obamacare
upon them. The wide ranging detrimental effects Obamacare will inflict
on our country and future generations of Americans will be devastating
and irreversible and may well result in the complete and/or effective
demise of the USA as our generation now knows it.

Therefore,
before this writer says anything more, I apologize and accept total
personal responsibility for not working hard enough to educate my fellow
citizens as to why Obamacare will endanger our country, how it will
inflict great harm on future generations of Americans, and why,
therefore, it must not be made law.

However, before we begin with
the reasons and consequences requiring an apology to future generations
of Americans, let’s take a step back. Let us examine possible events
that might negate and/or mitigate the disastrous effects of Obamacare
between the writing of this article and its being read by future
generations.

EVENTS THAT COULD NEGATE AND/OR MITIGAGE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF OBAMACARE

As
the future consequences of Obamacare cannot be known with absolute
certainty, this writer would be remiss if he did not first address
events that could negate and/or mitigate this writer’s posited
consequences of Obamacare.

In Closing:

Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.

Please join with me in mutually pledging to each other and our fellow
citizens our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to our mutual
endeavors of restoring liberty and economic opportunity to WE THE PEOPLE
as our Founding Fathers envisioned and intended. [Last Paragraph,
Declaration of Independence http://bit.ly/ruPE7z ]

This article is written with the same intentions as Thomas Paine http://ushistory.org/paine. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own “Common Sense” http://amzn.to/kbRuar

Speak in Anger and...

Posted by Don J Burgess on February 9, 2011 at 4:07am

Speak in anger and you will deliver the greatest speech you will ever live to REGRET! Winston Churchill

The airwaves today are filled with pundits and experts who constantly badger, butcher or blow up anyone who might disagree with their point of view. While this might be entertaining talk radio or night time television, it has produced a horrible precedent for dealing with people in general.

Many have come to believe that silence is weakness, that calmness is cowardly and that you must engage in a tit-for-tat exchange of point and counterpoint, claim and counterclaim to compete and survive in any relationship. If an unwanted fire has broken out the last thing you want to do is throw gasoline on it. Yet many seemingly cannot resist the urge to throw their last bit of fuel on the fire then spar, thrust and parry back and forth long after the source of problem has been left behind.

Often it is the preservation of ego which keeps us engaged in verbal combat, somehow believing that having the last word will win the day. Learning to check your ego at the door and determine what truly matters most is key, not only to success, but to happiness and peace of mind. Whether speaking to someone live or going back and forth in email, you must ask yourself if the messages you are about to speak or send are going to move the conversation, and more importantly, the relationship, forward or whether they will simply fuel more anger and angst. Winning a verbal battle at the expense of a relationship war is never wise.


General Robert E. Lee was once asked his view of a man he had had many disagreements with. Lee responded that the man was a good, just man, who he happened to disagree with greatly. The questioner then stated that the man in question did not hold such a respectful view of the General and often expressed that negative opinion to others. To which General Lee replied, “You asked me my opinion of him, not my view of his view of me. My view is the only one over which I have control.” The way you communicate with those you disagree with speaks volumes about who you are as a person. Petty, personal attacks never produce positive results and often keep us a safe distance from real solutions.

Be ware of your emotions and your ego, especially in the highly volatile arena of interpersonal communication. Silence can be strength, a kind word can carry a conversation, stepping away can be the best step forward. Words have weight and their impact is immense – so choose them wisely, use them with caution and whenever in doubt – don’t!

Perceiving the Infinite

Posted by Don J Burgess on November 21, 2010 at 7:36am

Using Your Psychic Gifts

Psychic experiences are a natural part of our everyday lives. People often have difficulty accepting that they have been blessed with psychic abilities because without a frame of reference it is almost impossible to identify an extrasensory experience and to distinguish psychic sights, sounds, and sensations from the projects of the unconscious mind. To some extent, every human being on the planet is clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient, although most people discover that they are naturally adept at one more than the others. When you trust in and take steps to hone your innate clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience, you will enter a new realm of being in which the universe, your higher self, and your spirit guides lovingly conduct you toward a more aware existence.

Clairvoyance, or clear seeing, is the ability to see with the mind’s eye. An individual who has honed their clairvoyant abilities may be able to see in their mind’s eye events in a remote location; to witness incidents that have yet to occur; or to perceive shapes, colors, and other images that are physically invisible. Clairaudience, which means clear listening, is the ability to hear sounds not physically audible. A person with the gift of clairaudience perceives psychic information as auditory resonance and may hear angelic voices, music, or other sounds. A clairsentient, or clear feeling, individual is able to sense physical, emotional, and spiritual energy in the form of seemingly unearthly scents, touches, and movements. Each of these psychic abilities can manifest themselves within us voluntarily or involuntarily. It is natural for us to have these abilities; we need only practice.

Developing your psychic talents is a matter of releasing your fear of seeing, hearing, or feeling inexplicable or disquieting stimulus. Before you attempt to consciously tap into your gifts, ground yourself to anchor your mind in the present to disconnect from any involuntary psychic experiences you may be having. Concentrate on your intuitive responses to the world around you and notice any sights, sounds, or feelings that enter your mind. If you trust your perceptions, you’ll discover that each psychic impression you receive will be in some way relevant to your experience—even when that relevance may not be immediately recognizable.DOM

Spend Thanksgiving with a Billionaire

Posted by Don J Burgess on November 19, 2010 at 5:17pm
I just received this intriguing Thanksgiving invitation and thought you might be interested too. I know Bill and his story is truly remarkable. Here's what he wrote...

Thanksgiving is a very important holiday to me. Let me try to explain without getting too mushy...

If you know me at all, you know that I've lived a miraculous life, with an incalculable amount of things to be thankful for. Few people can say that they've overcome:

* Poverty
* Homelessness
* Bankruptcy (Twice)
* Deafness
* Paralysis
* Gang Membership
* Dropping out of High School
* Alcoholism
* Depression

Inc. Cover Even fewer can say they've overcome ALL of them. I know it sounds incredible, but that's exactly what I've been through in my life.


But the most astounding part is that not only did I somehow manage to overcome all these obstacles, but that I became a self-made billionaire and the 25th wealthiest American in the process.

Yes, I have a lot to be thankful for. And, like the good book says

"To whom much is given, of him shall much be required."

I take that very seriously.

You see, I believe that in large part my experiences weren't really meant for me. They were meant for you. They were meant to be an example of what is really possible. And they were meant to be a road map of how any of us can achieve the wealth we desire, regardless of our circumstances.

So this coming Tuesday, November 23rd, I invite you to join me in a special Thanksgiving program where I will share my story in a way that will help you conquer the obstacles that stand in the way of your health, happiness and financial freedom.

Join me, I promise it will be worth your while. Here's how to get registered:

Freeing Our Inner Desires

Posted by Don J Burgess on November 16, 2010 at 3:11pm
Using Our Outside Voice

Each of us has developed an internal filtering process that helps us choose which parts of our constant inner monologues get voiced outside of our heads. Sometimes the choice is based on what we consider to be polite or appropriate, using subtlety instead of directness to try to get our point across. Other times the choice is made based on our expectations of the other person and what we feel they should know about us, our feelings, and our needs. But our best chance of getting what we need is to communicate specifically by converting our inner voice to our outside voice.

This may seem unnecessary sometimes, especially when we think the other person has the same information we ourselves are working with, but we have to remember they also have their own inner voice, evaluating what they hear in light of their own issues and needs. With so much to consider and sift through, we are truly better off if we communicate precisely. Not only does doing this minimize the chance for misinterpretation, but voicing our thoughts it is an act of creation. We convert thought and imagination to sound, releasing it from the chamber of our minds into the outside world. This carries energy and intention with it, making our thoughts, wishes, and even dreams come true.

When we have the courage to speak our minds and use our voice to send the desires of our hearts from our inner world to the world outside, we take a bold step in making them happen. By removing fear of what others may think and expectation of what others should understand, we free ourselves and our thoughts from the bondage of the mental chamber and let loose our desires onto the canvas of the world. Next time we become aware that we have a choice about how to communicate, we can choose to use our outside voice and watch its creative power at work. DOM

THE INDIVIDUAL WITH A NEGATIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE ATTRACTS TROUBLES AS A MAGNET ATTRACTS STEEL FILINGS.

Posted by Don J Burgess on November 11, 2010 at 4:48am
It is a curious fact of nature that somehow our minds find a way to transform into physical reality the things we think about most. If you expect to fail, you can be sure that you will, and if you find something negative in every opportunity, nothing will ever work out positively for you. Fortunately, the reverse is also true. If you are a happy, positive person, you will attract positive things. You can keep your mindset positive by eliminating negative thoughts the moment they begin to creep into your conscious mind. If you dwell on the negative aspects of every opportunity, you will never accomplish anything worthwhile. Be prudent about the risks you take, but don't be paralyzed by fear of failure.NHF

Respect and Be Open

Posted by Don J Burgess on November 6, 2010 at 4:30am
Your sense of integrity could make you more open-minded in your professional interactions. Perhaps you realize that by being respectful and tolerant of differing ideas you can achieve more when working with others. Making an effort to navigate between all sides of an issue and finding mutually agreeable solutions to problems could help you be even more effective in your dealings. Should you find that you have to deal with conflicting ideas in some form, you can think about the needs and wants of everyone involved. Putting your ideas down on paper through a diagram or chart might be a way for you to see the different factors involved and maybe even a way to come up with a creative solution. You may find that being nonjudgmental and broad-minded could not only help you to act honestly but can also assist you in finding what works best for everyone.

When we are receptive to everybody’s ideas, win-win outcomes are more possible. Even though it can be challenging to meet the needs of all the people we interact with, if we truly take the time to understand their ideas and then try to integrate them with our own ideas, we will more readily gain their respect. Having this mutual regard for each other will make it easier for our team to accomplish its goals. By being open and showing respect in a professional capacity, your interactions will not only be more positive but also more productive.DOM

An Instrument of Change

Posted by Don J Burgess on October 17, 2010 at 3:00am
Wealth Is Neutral

At its most basic, money is a tool that enables us to meet our individual needs. As a form of potential energy that empowers us to generate change, it is neither good nor bad. Yet many people react emotionally to issues concerning finances, unconsciously condemning currency itself, the manner in which money is spent, and people who live lives of financial abundance. Individuals who are rich in gifts such as high intelligence are acknowledged for their positive traits while those who have acquired material riches or aspire to become wealthy are frequently judged harshly. However, wealth is not a trait upon which judgment can be legitimately passed. It tells us nothing about how a person lives, what they believe in, whom they care for, or the scope of their values. Like any blessing, wealth is merely an instrument of purpose that can be used both constructively and destructively.

From an early age, people learn to court wealth while simultaneously associating money with greed, selfishness, and unethical behavior. Consequently, this idea becomes entrenched in their hearts as envy. To attain a balanced and rational comprehension of money, as well as a fairer perspective of wealth, we need to recognize that outward manifestations of wealth tell us little about the individuals enjoying those blessings. When we feel the finger of jealousy prompting us to draw unflattering conclusions about people whose lives seem more financially secure than our own, we should remind ourselves that there are many elements of their circumstances we cannot see. Their wealth may be the result of long hours of taxing labor, they may donate a large percentage of their resources to charitable causes, or their bounty may be an incidental aspect of a life spent doing what they love. Ultimately, we can heal our hurtful associations with money by turning a blind eye toward both wealth and poverty when interacting with others and instead focusing on the individual before us.


If you take a moment to consider you own feelings regarding money and wealth, you may discover that you equate financial prosperity with happiness, power, security, independence, or self-indulgence. Money itself, however, is none of these things. You can begin developing a healthier view of wealth by simply accepting that while some possess great wealth and others do not, we all have the potential to create lives of beauty, substance, and wisdom using the resources we have been granted.

Know Your Food

Posted by Don J Burgess on October 11, 2010 at 3:58am

Eating Close to the Earth

The food we eat is a multidimensional aspect of our lives. Food provides us with the energy that enables us to grow and prosper. Yet it can be, and frequently is, much, much more. Our food can be an experience in and of itself if we allow it to be. The dishes we remember from childhood offer unmatched comfort. The act of preparing meals can be an art form of the highest caliber. And the nourishment we derive from this fare promotes wellness within us. But many of us, distracted by daily affairs, forget that the profound pleasures of eating go beyond simple sustenance. We eat foods that are convenient or we eat unconsciously, snacking on whatever happens to be on hand. To understand the true value of food and the impact it can have on our lives, we should acknowledge and honor it by eating close to the earth.

If you have ever shelled and eaten garden-grown peas or bitten into a sun-warmed apple freshly plucked from its tree, you likely understand that there is a marked difference between these foods and those that are processed and stacked on supermarket shelves. Food recently picked contains more of its original life force and thus has a greater store of energy and nutrients. You can ensure you are eating close to the earth—and enjoying the many benefits of doing so—by shopping at a local farmers market and getting to know the individuals who grow your food. If you make the experience of shopping in this way enjoyable, you will be more apt to reject more convenient canned, packaged, and frozen foods in favor of the real delight you feel while browsing stalls of fresh foods nourished by the same soil you can find in your own backyard. You will soon learn what foods are in season in your area and how to prepare them.

As you savor the vivid flavors of juicy ripe fruits and the hearty crunch of unprocessed vegetables, you can also take pleasure in the fact that, by eating close to the earth, you are supporting farmers in your region, connecting with your local ecosystem, discouraging those who would waste precious fossil fuels by carting produce cross-country, and helping to preserve healthy culinary traditions that have existed for centuries.DOM
