We don't we agree that litigation reform to lower the cost of healthcare would be a good starting point?

A Health To The Queen

While the thistle bears
Spears,
And the shamrock is green,
And the English rose
Blows,
A health to the Queen!
A health to the Queen, a health to the Queen!
Fill high, boys, drain dry, boys,
A health to the Queen!

The thistle bears spears round its blossom,
Round its blossom the shamrock is green,
The rose grows and glows round the rose in its bosom,
We stand sword in hand round the Queen!
Our glory is green round the Queen!
We close round the rose, round the Queen!
The Queen, boys, the Queen! a health to the Queen!
Fill high, boys, drain dry, boys,
A health to the Queen!

I didn't want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren't good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that's not the healthiest of responses.

Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.

I believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that God is listening to me.

Stand for Health Care for All

The insurance company dropped my twin brother while he was dying of cancer then the bank foreclosed his house. He worked hard all his life and even wanted to go back to work while he had the cancer and my father was a world war two veteran with two purple hearts...i am angry over false oppressive laws that put people into these horrible situations...nobody should ever loose their property over an illness or have their insurance dropped while they become vulnerable adults then have their property foreclosed on. Do I want the free market regulating things according to maximum profit? No, I want laws that are based on righteousness not MONEY. Should insurance companies have the right to dropp people who have preexisting conditions? No..The republicans had both houses under President Clinton and George W Bush and did nothing with healthcare. They resisted President Clintons administration on getting universal healthcare. They will lollygag for ever if they defeat the healthcare bill of President Obama. Don't be fooled!

Waters of an Oasis

It's clearer than purified water
much expensive than processed water
sweeter than honey jelly
healthier than rain water.

It's scarce than ocean water
plenty than lake water
quenching than well's water
energizing than falls' waters.

Oasis fruits are sweeter
its grass are healthier
its breezes are more lulling
and a unique captivating topography.

Oasis love is more loving.
Oasis air is more fresh
oasis life is worth living
oasis care is more caring
oasis death is more victorious.

You may be FAT but are you BEAUTIFUL?

The definition of beauty doesn't point singularly to physical appearance.
It is undeniable that it is good to be healthy
but it is idolatry to believe only the society's desire is acceptable.

God allowed us look the way we do and loves us thus
He loves the big, the small, the slim, the fat, the muscular, the average, the overweight, the underweight
One that cheers you on physically when you really are unhealthy is the friend to be avoided

If 'you are fat' is a fact, deal with it
Why seek to feel good about ones state when it leads an unhealthy regret down the road.
Pride in one's skin is more than just belief in one's being
It is a fertilizer for ones sense of appreciation
And a reinforcement for a bold mind unfazed by agents that taunt resilience.

Another thought that should not be entertained for a second
Is the idea that though one is healthy, there is a size for the society's perfect
One may work towards feeling better about ones physical look or keeping ones size
but that there is a perfect size to be met is a false attempt geared toward pleasing a fantasial idol

Don't let Barbie dictate what ought and what not
