Cassi Creek:
I’d love to own the copyrights on these graphics for the
next 10 months. Everything the Democrats
post or publish should use these easily understood bits of comic strips and
comic books.
Mitt Romney
likes to fire people; he admitted it on camera.
Apparently some likely to be fired campaign staffer told him how cold
and cruel that bit of truth in advertising sounds to most of the populace. The amended version, sanitized and spun, is
that Romney likes to fire his insurance company.
What a load
of BS. Romney is rich and can afford to
fire his insurance company if he becomes annoyed with it. He may very well own the company, in which
case he cannot only fire it, he can gut it and bury it after emptying its
coffers.
Those of us
who have insurance through employment have been fortunate in the past. However, we could no more fire a group plan insurer
than we can fly like Icarus. The
employer makes the choice of which carrier based upon affordability. Coverage and performance factor in much lower
on the decision tree.
In reality,
it is we who are often fired by “our” insurance companies. If we anger them by actually attempting to
make use of the plan coverage, private sector bureaucrats called clerks,
associates, representatives, or some other deceptive name, chained to their
desks, deny coverage and may well be programmed to cancel our coverage.
If you
attempt to “fire” “your” insurance company, or any other of “your employees” such
as your cable provider, your power company, or water company, you may succeed in
terminating their service. However, it
will be you sitting in the dark, watching a darkened television, trying to
catch and store rainwater. “Your
employees” will simply ignore you until you give in to their conditions to
reinstate service at a higher price. As
for health insurance, don’t bother looking.
You are most likely now uninsurable.
Follow up about Parents Television Council
This group of
bible thumpers and theocrats want to ban anything they consider offensive from
broadcast and cable programming. They are
clogging the courts with foolish claims that they are being harmed by a lack of
censorship.
I on the
other hand, am being subjected to unwanted and unconstitutional censorship that
prevents me from seeing and hearing things as they are written for reading,
hearing, and viewing.
Rather than
file frivolous lawsuits I propose the following. Allow these theocrats and prudes to fund and
produce their own media. Let them
circulate it on the numerous church/religious channels that my cable provider
insists that I cannot have removed from my cable services. I’ll block those channels as I already do,
they can pay to air their material and let the mathematics of business either
support their shows or kill them.
I can happily
boycott companies that pay to have religion added to my cable bill. I bet that there is insufficient demand for
sanitized and church programming to make it pay for itself. If I’m wrong, they will have “safe channels”
to insulate their selves from reality.
If I’m right, all the better.
