Health Care Bill Page 425 – The Truth
Written by Jim Howard

I wonder how many of you are getting the hysterical email saying that the United States is going to kill all people over 65 years of age.
“…On Page 425 of Obama's health care bill, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes... They are going to push SUICIDE to cut Medicare spending!!! And no, I am NOT KIDDING YOU! So those of you who voted for Obama have now put yourself and your own parents in dire straights... Congratulations!…”
“…Text of the actual bill, which, as far as I can tell after wading through several pages of legalese, merely amends Title 18 of the Social Security Act to stipulate that Medicare will pay for — not mandate — "advance care planning consultations" between individuals and physicians every five years, during which the entire spectrum of end-of-life options can be explained and discussed so said individuals can knowledgeably choose their own treatment preferences in advance…”
“WASHINGTON (CNN) — The H1N1 flu virus could cause up to 90,000 U.S. deaths, mainly among children and young adults, if it resurges this fall as expected, according to a report released Monday by a presidential advisory panel.
The H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu virus, could infect between 30 percent and 50 percent of the American population during the fall and winter and lead to as many as 1.8 million U.S. hospital admissions, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology reported.
The report says 30,000 to 90,000 deaths are projected as part of a “plausible scenario” involving large outbreaks at schools, inadequate antiviral supplies and the virus peaking before vaccinations have time to be effective…”
Each year we have about 40K die due to the flu virus. Most of those are over 65 year old people. If this study is correct we are going to have 90K this year and most of those will be young people. Many Americans get a flu shot and feel safe and security because of that shot. This year the antiviral shots will not be ready in time and there will not be enough for everyone that wants a shot. What effect is all this going to have on the United States. The last place I would want to be going is to the doctor’s office. I do see signs up at the doctor’s office saying to tell the staff if you think you have the flu. I am not sure that is going to help. Even if they put you in a different waiting room. This could turn out to not be the big event that they are saying… I hope we get off easy this year. This sounds bad right now.
CPUID CPU-Z

I found a neat program. It is CPU-Z and you run it and it tells you all about your computer. It will tell you the processor and all the information about it. It will tell you the about the main board, the memory and memory card and other information. I ran the program because I have 2 GB of computer memory and I want to add 2 more GB of memory. It says that I am using DDR2 dual channel memory at a DRAM frequency of 333.3 MHz.
It appears this program is free. Great little help. I hope I can now find the correct memory and that it does not cost to much. I think my computer would kick ass with 2 more GB of memory. That would give me 4 GB.

Crazy Glenn Beck Tomorrow
Written by Jim Howard

This is a crazy hate filled man. Now I have been saying since he first started talking about this event that I feared someone might make an attempt on his life because of the crazy stuff he has been saying. There are a few crazy people out there that go nuts on some subject and they will look around for someone to kill. They often attend events and they do not care who it is they kill. But now from listening to Glenn Beck I hope there are people monitoring him. He is so crazy he might try to blow the place up and take his own life so that he can rise from the dead in the three days. I think he is that crazy. I would not take my kids to that event. I hope I am wrong. But I been saying for a long time that Glenn Beck is crazy and he needs help. I been calling for the people around him to help him out. I been saying his employer should see that he gets help. I hope people are watching him. Is he giving away her personal stuff? Has he written notes to be opened in the event of his death? It seems so clear to me that this guy is sick. But I saw today a couple interviewed on TV that came from FL for the event. There are going to be some people showing up. Now some people will just show up for the show. But it would be interesting for some sort of study been done on his "true believers." I would like to know what got them to the point that they want to drink the Kool-Aid and ride away on the comet to heaven's gate.
