Quote by: Monica I won't venture a guess as to his religious beliefs as they are clearly above my head, but I am from Kansas, so my local rag covers Phelps often. According to Phelps, this bill is precisely what he has been after, and he does intend to fight it based on its unconstitutionality.
Regulating free speech is a slippery slope; the next thing you know states will require their residents to carry health insurance or require that Intelligent Design be taught in Science class. These moral issues are something I just don’t want to discuss with my government. |
Monica. Welcome. Just a poi. Massachusetts already requires mandatory health care and ID has been trying to force its way into the southern schools for some time now.
I fully agree with you but this stuff is happening and it is only through the vigilance of people like us that will stop it. As far as Mass, l leave it to Teddy Boy and their likes. One can't deny that we as Americans, at some point have to address Universal Health Care, but this has been debated for years. The politicians simply fiddle while Rome burns.
Sooner or later, probably sooner, the whole health care system in America will be over run by people who have no insurance. Right now, those of us who pay $1000 per month to carry private health insurance are already carrying those who show up at the hospitals with no insurance. It is factored into our premiums. And Unions have the temerity to strike when their members are asked to contribute $50 per month for their health care which many carry to the grave.
Not saying Mass is correct in its approach, but America will need to address the issue of Universal Health Care sooner rather than later.
AS for ID, I have no problem teaching it in the schools as an elective, right along side of a bible class, as an elective, but to mandate its teaching is both irresponsible and unconstitutional.
