The U.S. Senate voted 99 to 1 not to clarify or defend the right of U.S. citizens to have due process of law when accused by the government of criminal or terrorist activity. Instead, because the laws are made by the rich and the rich were attacked by Al Qa'eda on 9-11, the Bush II provision allowing possible arrest of U.S. citizen sympathizers, associates or facilitators of Al Qa'eda and/or possible other activities deemed terrorist by the authorities greased the skids of the commoner Americans for rightless ransacking by black-bagging military exfiltration squads, anonymous foreign detention, stateless torture and military tribunals in-camera (secret). Seems like a rotten development.

I understand well that overpaid politicians with bad bills ought to be given extraordinary rendition and water boarded at Guantanamo Bay until they come to their senses. Newt Gingrich perhaps might give back the Freddie Mac 1.6 million dollar payment for working up a history profile or whatever for the CEO as 14 billion dollars was pilfered and lost as bad investments (how do you get it done Newt?), yet ordinary citizens should be free from such perfidy even if they plan to revolt against the government and need to develop a plan of attack.
It should not be illegal to plan to revolt against the government especially if it is fiction used for gaming purposes. War gaming in the present should be as acceptable socially as re-enacting civil war battles. How otherwise could new Commandants of West Point make the difficult decision to field a coup and restore a good government?
The idea that the 58,000 millionaires of Boston and the U.S. military are in some way good enough citizens to have the right to arrest and exfiltrate U.S. citizens from Harvard U. for waterboarding interrogations because they have knowledge of networks of Palestinian and Somali terrorist life ways is silly. President Bush II's incompetent post-war reconstruction plans for Iraq did more harm to the U.S. economy than a dozen flights crashing into the Pentagon and other sinks of U.S. taxpayer funding ever could. Maybe a President should be exfiltrated to Gitmo for waterboarding to reveal if he intentionally planned to run up such a military debt that social spending could be cut-such wickedness lurks in the halls of the rich and of defense contractors!
The right to plan revolts even if they aren't used is as fundamental for American liberty as the right to own guns. Without plans it would be impossible to have a civil war to remove an aristocracy today-and the founders believed that Americans implicitly have the right to revolt against corrupt, unjust, capital concentrating, deficit spending, oppressive rotten government as they did themselves.
In times past actual revolutions against the rich and the feudal over-vampires have required actual violence to get on. Though the United States has entered the age of moral and economic perfection with perfected interpretation of the scripture of Adam Smith with impeccable exegesis by economist-monks of the Chicago School, and hence peace and domestic tranquility shall forever ensue, one day some substantial element of the population may want to roll the heads of the rich again. Americans must protect that right-of-revolt for future generations since it a foundational element of liberty, equality and social justice as well as of full employment and good pay for all citizens.
Economics take note of the comparative thriftiness of revolutions. In the Al Qa'eda incident the assymetric economic warfare was entirely in favor of the cost-conscious Al Qa'eda, while in the Libyan revolution the expenses of the revolutionaries was far less than the historical defense spending budget of the Khaddafi administration.
Al Qa'eda may be a foreign terrorist organization-in translation it simply means 'the base'. So if a domestic terrorist militia does not affiliate with a foreign terrorist militia or lashkar then they are free from arrest by covert operators with HK's, night vision optics, niitrogen grenades for flash-freezing and so on?
Reason does allow U.S. military forces to help bag really tough clumps of terrorists in the U.S.A. if need be, as they could be called in to fight a Godzilla after the monster slaughtered L.A. Sheriff Department warriors. In regard to military arrests of American citizens thought to comprise a threat to the class interests of the rich through whatever means really threaten the rich (raising their taxes to 90%?), that should just never happen. If they are American citizens it just has to be good enough to give them a regular trial and then let them go to plan their next nativist uprising against the occupation forces of evil repressing the masses.
The Senate should pass a defense of civil rights act that clarifies the point that none of the rights in the constitution can be abridged and transmogrified into neat little pieces of paper airplanes like meaningless zen koans that float through space without leaving taxable footprints. American citizens should never be removed from the United States involuntarily for any reason unless to help former congressmen plan how to create more funding for defense contractors while cutting taxes for defense contractors.
The magic world of military torturers that Senator Graham seems to believe is supervised by a more dependable kind of citizen or foreign guest soldier/proxy (though none dare call it torture) is an inappropriate location for American citizens to have their legal questions examined. It is easy to understand that empowered government apes of righteousness beleive they can do no wrong and should not be summarily executed for abrogating the rights of U.S. citizens, and I would probably feel the same way too if I used steroids or was all juiced up to have no respect for the U.S. legal system. Recursion of righteousness inquisitors and degrees of torture appropriate for those thought to be threatening to the rich are tough questions for the government to secretly answer and to leave vague.
I might suggest that if the incompetent border security against illegal immigrants was corrected, and if more stringent standards were used for awarding citizenship to a constellation of five passport holding Americans such that they could have just one if naturalized, it would reduce the number of technical citizens lusting to drop a nuclear bomb on Washington D.C. more than regular politicians of a few foreign countries.
The U.S. legal system should leave no ambiguity about the rights of U.S. citizens to have due process of law in a public court by a jury of their peers. The needless and corrupting drift into the dark side of the force is an infarction to justice and a corruption of the spirit of freedom that was the purpose of the American experiment in democracy. It is quite reasonable and desirable that military powers to arrest and exfiltrate U.S. citizens beyond the jurisdiction of the state and federal laws within the territorial boundaries of the United States be defended against rather than supported. Supporters of such insidious evils are more of a 'them' caliber that raised the rebel flag at Ft. Sumpter than defenders of the American way.

Much Anticpated Higgs Particle Announcement MaƱana
The CERN announcement tomorrow that people speculate will announce better evidence of the existence of a Higgs Boson particle of between 90 and 40 GeV yet possibly as much as 140 GeV will not herald the discovery of a 'god' particle embedded in solid state physics as a concatenated probability association of quantum uncertatinty. It would indicate that particle accelerators and theoretical physicists have taken one more step to fill in the sketch of the ways and forms that quantum energy takes in the Universe.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-does-the-higgs-boson
The Higgs field and its particle the Higgs boson are described by some as a new kind of mass, yet it has existed since the inception of the Universe within a given cosmological paradigm. Those cosmological theories change from time to time providing deeper knowledge yet not necessarily evolving in some linear, hierarchical order of consistency.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle
A Higgs field is in some ways comparable to an electromagnetic field. The standard model of physics differs from string theory, which offers a deeper explanation for the values of quantum particles. The Higgs boson should have certain values in order to fit logically into the paradigm of values of other quantum particles. The Higgs field is believed to be more fundamental than the other particles, masses and fields and in fact to give them their mass. In other words the particles of the standard model are regarded as localized expressions of the Higgs Field. The Higgs boson too get's its mass from the field.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson#Theoretical_overview
I have no idea how physicists extrapolate the existence of uncertainty within a primordial Higgs field. Perhaps uncertainty is local within the universal non-locality of the field.
The Higgs field was early in cosmological inflation theory regarded as a possible source of the energy in Guth's theory. Now the Higgs field isn't now considered a cause of the initial or present expansion of space-time. Knowledge of dark energy-the lamda force- and its relation to a Higgs field (if either exist) are full of uncertainty.

Dante, Milton, Christians, Missiology etc.
Milton or Dante were great poets, and I have read and admired their skill along with Shakespeare in ages past. I write free verse of a philosophic nature in order to jot down ideas. Writing in formal style is something I have put little time in learning.
One might read about Homeric poetic style that kept the dactylic hexameter of earlier ages and be aware of the continuity of method that exists in contemporary rap music construction in that rhythm is an important mnemonic element. Milton was blinded and wrote in his 50s and so one might guess he was influenced by the rhythmic cadences of verse as a calming ocean wave of ideas overtook his thought.
I believe I read somewhere of Milton's experience after leaving Oxford of a friend poet who was drowned offshore of the S.W. coast of England, and that the experience affected Milton's style. Unlike Pilgrim's Progress composed in prison by Bunyan, Milton was a 17th century academically brilliant individual writing in an area where the method of construction was all-important. He wrote during the glory days of English ascendancy over the world of letters and world of sailing.
Today however Christians have a vast realm of ideas to experience as well as compete with. One finds the Evangelist Billy Graham's enduring personal appeal marvelous for the simplicity of his message-it rarely changed its form and was to the point. I have enjoyed listening to Vernon McGee's 'Through the Bible' recordings of Biblical exegesis-they are quite good.
The broadcast media in much of the world essentially puts out trash-have you experienced the U.S. broadcast media? It is a dumbing down experience generally and underutilized for scientific, humanities as well as historical and even Christian education. The media is a tool for the control of the masses and as Sartre said 'the fundamental relation of the listener to the broadcaster is impotence'.
It is possible to have web book computers and telecommunications apps that are readers of content such as the classics of Milton and of Dante, yet people must earn a living too. Christians need to reform their ecclesiastical and liturgical form as it is-the most unlikely thing is that they would embark far into the historical readings of reformation era poets, or even of late renaissance poets like Dante.
I have found as I have surveyed world literature, history and philosophy that I enjoy reading in new areas unknown to my prior experience reading. That is why I ranged abroad from standard U.S. and Western European history and philosophy readings into those of Russia and of the far east, and of course why I read with interest of the first world civilization at Sumer and of Abraham's role in leaving it's decadent phase as it became taken over by foreign control.
World civilization and its history set with the pre-historical researches of anthropology and archeology from the inception of mankind perhaps 200,000 y.b.p. comprise a continuum in which philosophical thought and Christian religious experience cohere. God has a secular history of interaction in human cultures as well as transcendent aspects that are translated in various forms unto the faithful. One becomes interested in the history of the University of Paris as well as of Arabic, Omar Kyham and the history of algebra. There are innumerable theories against God and Christianity today developed by incomplete learning and inadequate reading in history, the sciences and philosophy. Protestants too are interested in Augustine, Aquinas and Pope Gregory the First as well as Constantine the First and the last.
Christianity has obviously for most of its history been a light to the illiterate, however literacy in the modern post-Darwinian era does require that the faithful become aware of the complete database of knowledge that provide extracts for opposition to belief in God. Inadequate readings in Biblical history and scripture form a large part in stimulating wrong-headedness of secularist opposition to belief in God.
The reason for that has a foundation in the historical relationship of the Church to the state. Too often land owning clerics were regarded as oppressors, and of course Marx too made is statement about religion, opiates and the masses. In France clerics had tended to support conservatives. The problems of church and state associations oppressing the masses, or at least being in opposition to random 'liberal' movements is a reason why so many contemporary liberals including the U.S. Government seem to be in opposition to conservativism internationally except as it helps concentrate wealth.
Dante is certainly one of the world's great poets, however the inferno is more Jonathan Edwards-ish than many will accept as reasonable. I believe there may be a translation issue between various problems on the concept of hell today that is beyond Europe and America. The Shinto with volcanism and Kami, the Buddhist with the nihilation of nirvana, the Brahman recreation of a Universe every 50 billion years etc make the Inferno paradigm a little local and in a vernacular not appreciated by English as a second language speakers I would guess.

On the Question; Does the Universe have an Appearance For-Itself?
Reality has many definitions by many different conscious beings. Conscious beings describing experience tend to refer to their experience as being real. Reality as opposed to non-real aspects of reality is part of the larger meta-set of the given universe of that which does exist.
One gets to Sartre's 'Being and Nothingess' as a method of describing being and contingent non-being associated with the absence of previously existing things, or of hypothetical real things that are not presently observed (such as a Higgs boson). An observer has a capacity to observe his or her own experience as a part of reality perhaps rather than potentially all of it as if it were a universe the size of a marble made of lime green jello that if one were outside the Universe could be seen to roll downhill.
If reality is complete in any portion of it, as if it were a Mandlebrot fractal representative sample, an unlike the U.S. Congress made of contented millionaires, if it has a given appearance in a particular area, viewing itself without benefit of human observers or intelligent insects, ameoba with contempletive natures or such, would it's pantheistic self-awareness be aware of it's own location in reference to any potential contingent alternate location or appearance that could exist only as a product of its own imagination? Or would a self-aware universe without any human observers tor e't's o describe it that is still have an objective appearance subject unto itsself.
I suppose the concept of a self-aware universe that is a little neurotic wondering if it seems fat unto itself when it is really comparatively thin isn't really a question here. We will assume that unlike Einstein's relativistic yardstick that changes it length in a given iinertial reference frame that the Universe is like the Federal Debt that always looks the same although its really increases and the same for the nation's unemployment rate.
The Universe as it really is in a non-temporal state when it has finished 'growing up' may be transcendental and wonderful and be a bloc of oragne or green ecotplasm with marshmellow. Funny as that may be it is representative of the problem with describing a solid state object. Maybe it is simply a probability of The One that appears in many forms as it Wills now and then, from time to time.
Probably, outside of some theotransitional preferred point of view given by God, the potential for observing the entire universe as it appears objectively to a non-conscious being is limited. One might take something like the Keplar Space telescope or the Hubble or some other and give it instructions to survey the entire universe in given wavelengths to discover what the objective universe looks like, and in fact a WMAP portrait of the distribution of mass-energy about 300,000 years after the inflation of the universe from either the hypothetical size of a grapefruit or a collision as a membrane has been made. That portrait is not what the Universe looks like now though. Any space-time slice of the Universe made in a temporal order will differ a second later as it expands, contracts or changes its thermodynamic powers and configurations.
Perspective in consciousness is given with experience and conscious knowledge and learning allowing the cognoscenti to see deeper into the nature of things. Yet the solid state of matter-energy in this universe quadrant of human experience is the tip of a probability association wave from the quantum mechanical wave realm of all possible world lines. It is very difficult to even understand how any one-quantum wave has no particular existence apart from the virtually infinite number of places it might have been otherwise. Such locations have an infinite range. One particle that could have been sampled at point A might equally exist several light years away from its other locations at point A', A'' etc...
The nature of reality, the learning of cosmology and of perception and so forth are fascinating subjects. Like Bishop Berkley and the pure idealists we may wonder about where sense qualities cohere, or if all experience is holographic and how pain and hypothermia emerge in personal experience as impressively real and simultaneously subjective and objective.
Philosophers may use logic as well as physics to form their own ideas about reality, about the future, and how spirit or consciousness might be mapped by God for remixing in some future Universal or heavenly epic of kindness for human existence. Reality may be experienced by human beings yet probably not encompassed comprehensively within reason. Cosmologists can dry hypothetical space-time areas of mass-energy transitions and many are better than others, however the all inclusive set of definitions of reality that some scientists may seek after seem improbable to determine if for Godel's incompleteness theorem paradigm or numerous others.
Space-time mass and energy that appears against a backdrop of nothingness, and a nothingness without real distance from any other point of non-being. These are excellent things to consider, and wonder about as the many mansions said by Jesus Christ to exist in space if not in competent federal or Wall Street building plans for the homeless of the U.S.A. offers some hope for those that do not complete the course of discovering what the Universe looks like objectively, for-itself, perhaps as God views it and all of the creatures living in it simultaneously from their own points of view as well as his own.

School Marm Style of Newt Gingrich Sends Him to Top in Iowa Republican Polls
Republican Presidential primary candidate Newt Gingrich is leading the pack of Republicans lusting after the office of President. With an historian's point of view on world and domestic affairs Newt has no competence on current economic affairs of course, yet talking about the Battles of Bull Run and the Marne, genuflecting upon American greatness of the past and how it can be recovered with cheap imported webbook computers from Taiwan can bring many Iowan voters to believe that cutting capital gains taxes on the rich is actually good for them.
Contemporary history, economic history and so forth are sub-specialties within the overly specialized academic divisions of history. The Wall Street problems of greed and deregulation, the transformation of much of the U.S. labor market to a Latino center driving down wages and creating a reverse economic apartheid in the U.S.A. for strait white male workers, the corporatism ingression into ossifying the national infrastructure in partnership with government-these are items the Georgian historian is only dimly cognizant of if at all. Well, at least he knows who wrote 'Gone With the Wind'.
Farmers with a million in debt and some kind of physical assets making them small business class people are easy pickins for the slick 'I know better than you yet feel your pain' style of the former speaker of the House who was dumped by his constituents after allegations of modest achievements of political corruption.
One must wonder if Mr. Gingrich has any idea of the redistribution of American wealth abroad through a variety of financial instruments brought about by deregulation and federal leadership that resulted during his tenure as speaker, and if he believes that horizontal rainfall will send wealth from abroad to America to trickle down in financially parched regions of the U.S.A.?
The comfortable insiders of the Republican and Democratic establishments fully employed and prospering during these unshared hard times for 20-30% of Americans live in a different nation than many of the rest of the citizens of the United States in effect, and they have the entertainment industry and media on their side as only sycophants are admitted. The rich are very comfortable and can dump buckets of manure on those below complaining of their indifference about high unemployment in the U.S.A, and the military academies are bought and paid for to defend ruling class interests so the confidence of the comfortable insiders is not badly formed.

Newt Gingrich, Sexed Political Changes and Religious Wars
People may get the chance to answer the question 'who do you hate more- Newt Gingrich or Barrack Obama?' Alternatively Hollywood may make a thriller on President Obama as Abe Lincoln making a speech in advocacy of gays at Gettysberg.
Probably there were some homosexuals amidst other cabin vacating soldiers from the north that believed they were fighting to prevent oligarchy from rolling back democracy where it existed just barely.
If the Log Cabin Republicans are representative of Republican globalist designs the new U.S. military may be set to free gays all over the world with as much vigor as Grant attacking the Army of Virginia. Now that Obama has freed the gays the Republicans will have to put away their whips and chains-or perhaps not.
Maybe Mitt Romney can reverse the ill political winds of Washington in 2013.
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/263571/20111208/lesbian-half-sister-dumps-newt-gringrich-says.htm
The President's record as a champion of queer reichs is unchallengable. Thats the problem with many Americans perhaps. Homos and tepid tax cuts, Obamacare and the prospect of 20 trillion dollars of federal public debt if he is re-elected. If Newt were elected and had a sex change to become Queen Maude the First I that would be about as alien.
Newt's lesbian half sister is reported to have said she supports Barrack Obama. Newt is evidently against activism in support of homosexuality. That position places him outside the Obama global gay rights activism clan.
The new normal seems to be a progressive wave of corrupt federal leadership. Plainly Alaska's Don Young has a reprehensible environmental record, he also spends too much federal money in the state and is happy to cut services to the poor to pay for it.
America as the official planetary advocate for the sin of homosexuality may bring as much political insecurity as to advance it. One might wish a President would have more restraint before through his hat into the queer eye for the world strait guys ring willy nilly.
The new normal as a way to advance weirdness and public debt into American politics seems to be the goal of the broadcast media. I suppose the entertainment industry is a kind of networking leadership of depraved people that have little respect for individual economic rights. Maybe the price of cocaine will drop enough that those in front of television cameras have more creative thought.

Probably there were some homosexuals amidst other cabin vacating soldiers from the north that believed they were fighting to prevent oligarchy from rolling back democracy where it existed just barely.
If the Log Cabin Republicans are representative of Republican globalist designs the new U.S. military may be set to free gays all over the world with as much vigor as Grant attacking the Army of Virginia. Now that Obama has freed the gays the Republicans will have to put away their whips and chains-or perhaps not.
Maybe Mitt Romney can reverse the ill political winds of Washington in 2013.

The President's record as a champion of queer reichs is unchallengable. Thats the problem with many Americans perhaps. Homos and tepid tax cuts, Obamacare and the prospect of 20 trillion dollars of federal public debt if he is re-elected. If Newt were elected and had a sex change to become Queen Maude the First I that would be about as alien.
Newt's lesbian half sister is reported to have said she supports Barrack Obama. Newt is evidently against activism in support of homosexuality. That position places him outside the Obama global gay rights activism clan.
The new normal seems to be a progressive wave of corrupt federal leadership. Plainly Alaska's Don Young has a reprehensible environmental record, he also spends too much federal money in the state and is happy to cut services to the poor to pay for it.
America as the official planetary advocate for the sin of homosexuality may bring as much political insecurity as to advance it. One might wish a President would have more restraint before through his hat into the queer eye for the world strait guys ring willy nilly.
The new normal as a way to advance weirdness and public debt into American politics seems to be the goal of the broadcast media. I suppose the entertainment industry is a kind of networking leadership of depraved people that have little respect for individual economic rights. Maybe the price of cocaine will drop enough that those in front of television cameras have more creative thought.

Eurozone Evolution to New Economic Warsaw Pact?
Europe as an economic Warsaw Pact wit former East European nations merging with the west under the benevolent guidance of a superior German union may by jolts and starts bump its way to becoming an example of the New World Feudalist Order under a kinder, gentler, evil ruling class of global supremists. Some obviously will object that quantitative cons by global arbitragers, insurance scammers, corrupt gangstering stock transaction rocket science quality scheming and other perfidy may be a blessing for those inferior people globally that fail to appreciate the force backing up the Evil New World Empire. Well-picky, picky, picky.
Contemporary sophists may persuasively argue that Gingrichian New World Order Economics is an inevitable consolidation of the inferior by the superior. A socialist underclass ruled by true capitalist majority network shareholders have overcome the problems raised by nationalism an individualism in economics and politics that lead to the sorts of chaos and war that elites have always opposed.
The founders of the United States of America valued individualism an individual rights most highly in the secular political sphere. Today they would reign in runaway organizational corporatism an globalism and restrict business organization to a bite-size and shareholding to a few companies in order to promote individual material prosperity as the foundation for democratic capitalism rather than vice versa. Plainly sophists will stipulate that the founders could not have been more wrong in not reinforcing rule by foreign aristocracy. Again it will be said that opponents to the New Corporate Feudalism are overly picky.
President Obama has sent some of his crack Bush II era financial advisory team to Europe to confer on how to help the Eurozone transition into a better supine position for global corporate takeover. If Newt Gingrich is elected President he can exploit his Reagan-Clinton era economic-political restructuring expertise to help build a new 2008 financial, banking and investment crash that will bring Europe to its knees faster and with more panache.
In order to create a New World Feudalism for elite sport the United States and Eurozone must be volatilized politically. Individualism and private individual interests must be quashed and totalized network economic control promoted. The masses must be massified and national independent reinforcement of private individual property annihilated. With the masses dependent for their survival economically upon networks of global scale mass economic power over the masses will gradually and sometimes suddenly transition into the determinative power of the wealthy elites with concentrated wealth and power.

Obamacare's Underestimation of the Effect of the Unexploited Risk Pool
No one really knows what a 'constitutional republic' is. One can refer to Plato's republic, or that of the Dewitt Brothers in 16th century Holland, or the Florence of the Medici as examples of Republics preceding in theory that of the United States of America, yet the founders designed a new in order to prevent aristocracy and rule by elite organizations from existing in the new nation, conceived in freedom with liberty and justice for all.
Today the organizational phenomenon of corporatism and collectivism has dwarfed individual economic efforts. Actual restorationist conservatives would need to attack the collectivism of Wall Street globalism vigorously in addition to tramping on the poor as the right does presently in their ideological subjugation to a New Feudalist World Order.
The people of the United States have just so many resources to work with, and must allocate those resources optimally if possible including health care to have a healthy work force. Millions of poor American, self-employed labor entrepreneurs work for themselves at their own risk if they want to work at all. Corporations and government would prefer they sit on their hands.
Rhetoric effectively in support of Wall Street corporatism and globalist political hegemony over American economic self-interest is an abandonment of nationalism and an onerous subserviance to an aristocratic malevolence of an inferior class of would-be rulers of the planet.
The U.S.A.'s founders were advocates of individualism rather than aristocracy. They used what philosophical tools they had to design a polity that freed individuals from shackles of elite organizations of exploitation. I do not doubt that the founders would not have been confused by organizational wise guys requiring that individuals purchase health care insurance or buy Jamaican rum to exist as an American.
The founders given the opportunity to govern a public with real health care costs that occur by default and transform that into the nation's best economic interest, would have. The founders were not timid ideological losers that would get down and roll over if the right sophist phrasing were used.
I believe a free public health care system for the poor is the practical and affordable way to create a healthier America at lowest cost. It should serve veterans better too while also existing as an emergency public medical service in case of neutron bomb or designer plague attack.
Most of the designers of Obamacare are office types that risk getting a paper cut at most. Paper cuts can be painful of course we should stipulate. The designers of Obamacare believe that U.S. health costs for the middle class may be subsidized through payroll deductions younger workers without insurance can may-or their employers I would guess, when the payments are eventually made.
Those working class Americans with regular employment who are younger and uninsured tend to be covered on the job by workers compensation policies, yet not all of the poor and younger workers have good corporate jobs. Many of them work for themselves at their own risk, often have injuries that go untreated and have no spare money to remotely consider paying for health insurance.
With the addition of a few million self-employed workers laboring, painting, o jobbing their way without any job security at all from job to job and living on less than half the annual American average income the opportunity to have free government mandated health insurance will bring some opportunities for free surgery and dump a load of impossible to complete paperwork. Those workers will need to send in tax data on ‘how I was a digger for Joe at the last house on the right’ for 3 hours last Wednesday, and ‘then I traveled via hitchhiking to Texas and looked for something to paint and got about 5 bucks and hour for five days but also got hit in the eye with an airless paint sprayer jet before bumping my head, falling and tearing my rotator cuff and popping out my subluxed ankle for the tenth time this year.
My travel expenses were pretty high because I bout a few burgers at McDonalds instead of going to the missions on the way-yet it was faster that way. Also I rode a bike 30,00 miles the past few years looking for a regular job but didn’t find none, and ain’t got no post office box anywhere cause that costs a days work at Labor Ready and they ain’t got enough work. I think the Guatemalans are taking all the local odd jobs.
Seriously though, with free insurance there will be millions of workers seeking to get their backed up surgeries and things done that they ordinarily just don’t worry about. The cheapest thing to do would be to create a free public medical service for the poor in the U.S.A., keep the workers healthy and stop dumping more bureaucracy and more emergency medical costs for treatment that the middle class end up paying for anyway through their most-expensive and inefficient way to provide health care to Americans unwelcome to have regular employment much less with health benefits.
The hypothetical youth risk pool on soft jobs with good pay able to afford to help pay for middle class health costs may be a figment of the collective dump debt on others imagination so popular in conservativism the past couple of decades. probably it won't work this time.

Free Public Health Care for the Poor Does Not Need Socialism
In a democracy the people may construct government establishments to enact services as they wish, such as war, construction of commerce and defense infrastructure, provisioning of relief supplies and so forth.
It might be more fun to have the free enterprise of civil war and get rid of the laws and allow the logic of automatic weapons, nitrogen grenades and sundry explosives to adjudicate the property and taxation disputes in a free society in order to prevent the imbalance of the advantaged becoming too rich and concentrating power, wealth and legions of goons bought and paid for to repress their class enemies. That isn't the way many have believed society best functions though. Some may prefer to have absolute power, yet it is sometime rolled back a bit.
Socialism is a society with a state run economy. Today there is a corporate-government partnership developing that is more of a version of corporatism with idiot aristocratic characteristics. Because it compiles vast wealth the economy is retarded and unable to meaningfully change toward an ecospherically sustainable basis-that is very dangerous.
There is no particular pure ossification of capitalism that would work within Adam Smith's criterion to best advantage the people today that would eliminate all government provisioning of services including ecosphere defense. Presently that toilet you drop a load of crap in is connected very likely if you are like most Americans to a public sewage line.
It might be best to have Incinolet electric toilets and home fuel cells to provide power yet affluent pooping networks are not preponderantly completely private business. The trouble with crank political theorists is that they have no concept of actual economic reality as it is structured within political philosophy and have no tools to actually change it for the good.
Those traffic laws and law enforcement on the street are public provided goods enforced instead of the bumper car mayhem that would be more enjoyable for bike riders to watch perhaps. When hydroelectric dams break for lack of public oversight, inspection or maintenance the private sector could be sued for failing to provide good emergency services in private courtrooms with corporate justices-wait, we have got Chief Justice Roberts!
Generally the people have the good sense to seek to secure their best self-interest and way of life including public and private concerns. Public medical provisioning for the poor is one rational investment the public may invest in.
The liberty of aloof citizens nurtured from youth with free public education, defended by veterans of military service, given medical service from physicians trained in public universities, protected by public law enforcement agencies, wearing clothing and eating food inspected by government inspectors, driving on highways and bridges built at public expense, receiving electrical supply for factories and homes generated at publicly financed projects and so forth is not the only role for government.
The poor also have need of medical service. Your liberty isn’t being traded away if poor self-employed working people have some medical coverage for hernia and other injuries that put them out of working health. Christians should have some concern about creating a good government that works to assure full employment, complete medical coverage for the poor and a health ecosphere. Free enterprise is one of the basic opportunities for the poor to advance their self interest and independence, yet one of their great vulnerabilities is in the medical field. I had to pay for hernia surgery in 2010 by trading my real estate to a surgeon. Living for years in a tent is not as good as building a hut for-oneself. The corporate world is cold blooded and globalist and quite impractical as regards social equality for Americans.
Wall Street has already sold your liberty to the Chinese and globalists buying up the United States as it is. If pseudo-conservatives have any interest in the United States remaining a somewhat free nation they would need to take their blinders off and set aside global corporate control to man up to real politik in the United States looking real human interests directly in the eye and stop being corporate pimps of real humanity.
One should regard one’s fellow citizens a little like soldiers regard other soldiers in their units and not deny them medical coverage if they are injured-wait! Maybe that a good new idea and corporate contractors could charge wounded soldiers for medical services giving them special credit and better treatment for those that aren’t socialists. They should also start paying for their food I guess.
Human beings that are injured or starving, without shelter and so forth must get those services somewhere if the exclusivists of corporate-government axis don’t provide them. A lot of time can be wasted and public expense compiled indirectly. When a society is run by a bunch of indignant, advantaged louts extolling their own greed to the harm of their fellow citizens seeking a rational government emergency safety net with a real healthy self-help free enterprise sector besides one expends much effort in getting relief from the repressors.
Sure one could be a libertarian anarchist moron believing in delusion that mass social organizations haven't already taken over most of the U.S. economy. It is just that the comfortable like to kick around the poor perennial and the intellectually challenged bark along on command for more reward.

Dagomir Kaszlikowski wrote an interesting piece published in Scientific American's online 'Guest Blog' on the topic of how macro-reality is a result of the underlying quantum mechanical, non-local reality. He relates his description to the EPA paper of Einstein and others from several decades ago. That paper has been much read in recent years in regard to its forward looking content.
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/12/05/new-theory-explains-how-objective-reality-emerges-from-the-strange-und
One might guess that non-locality in the quantum world also means non-relativity. Space and time or space-time could perhaps be a sort of local feature of an entangled macro-quantum universe of solid states.
The quantum world seems to have non--locality in it in relation to the conventional world or universe with solid objects in it. That non-locality provides an appearance of letting particles travel faster-than light or faster than any of the macro-particles that seem to exist in the local 'reality.
Obviously one must wonder if space or time are somewhat separable features of the quantum world as it emerges into the locality of large clumps of space-time. I believe that Kaszlikowski offers a statistical entanglement and exclusion principle as a reason why non-quantum features emerge from the quantum universe. Perhaps local features are emergent characteristics something like standing temporal waves of objects in reality.
That does give one pause to wonder how the entire space-time Universe emerges from quantum non-locality letting it provide an area for objects to appear. One might think that the quantum world has everything possible within it all of the time and yet only such things that are downloaded into reality because of quantum entanglement become local reality.
Local non-quantum reality is apparently something that is just observed by intelligent beings generally as more than statistically entangling units of mass-energy. The reason for those quantum entanglements is something difficult to know. As gravity and black holes appear as space-time aspects of the macro-local reality the relation of each to quantum non-local objective clump of things-in-themselves is interesting in numerous points.
One might wonder what effect non-local quantum reality in-itself experiences in relation to local clumps of statistically entangled of apparent mass-energy? To what extent are all quantum waves unbound and non-local? Can non-locality in quantum mechanics form any meaningful structures as unbounded non-local 'objects' for-themselves?
The definition of a Universe or Metaverse isn't perhaps a referent to an infinite object, which it probably is. As human elements within that Universe or set of all sets it is challenging to be a subset that defines the infinite metaset. Well, Most everyone knows what the Universe is I would think. The physical delimitations of it change all the time as do metaphysical speculations about it.
If the Universe is a locality as a phenomenal download from an underlying pervasive non-locality the the terms referring to the material local universe are somewhat contingent and useful mostly within that locality of a Universe.
I cannot imagine how all of those quantum waves in non-locality with all possible worlldlines existing in space-timeless non-relativistic potential cohere in any meaningful sense in anything at all-even a 'Universe' of quantum non-locality.
