There is a Medicare right to dialysis before age 65. But there appears to be no right to save your money and not qualify for entitlements you don’t demand anyway. If you get dialysis before age 65 you probably also have a right to a warm apartment; but you seem to have no right to save your capital when you don’t expect the government to pay your rent and heat bill.

People are not supposed to criticize bankers’ $15,000,000 bonuses–they merit every penny of it because of being good stress managers, anger managers, early risers, well groomed and clothed, knowledgeable about where to put money at any given moment. But somebody who exercises a lot, lives a safe lifestyle, lives a simple lifestyle, as a pedestrian only crosses the street at signalled crosswalks, eats healthy foods, doesn’t expect society to buy his/her chemotherapy, radiation therapy, dialysis, uses public transportation only or a car in combination with a park and ride system, is immensely communicative with others by reading and writing – such a simple lifestyle person is not worth $5000/year guaranteed annual income.

Even without a job, such virtuous lifestyle guaranteed annual income people help sustain a stable society (society including the interest-receiving bankers who loan to the guaranteed annual income class of citizens) that wholly or partially lives off of investment income which includes pension funds. I propose that all workers, whether a fast food worker, factory worker, or major bank CEO, make a flat $50,000/year and that non-workers who do self studies for their minds and exercise a lot for their bodily health make $5000/year.

The news about Tiger Woods money and love affairs as the big evil does nothing to simultaneously say ” So therefore it would be unjust for meritorious but low income people to even have to worry about all of their meek incomes having to go to the private health insurance companies “. The judgemental society merely implies ” Get to work you lazy bum…we don’t care about your self studies values “.

Al Gore should do just one webcam-cast from his home computer per year-no journalists should burn up gas going to his home-no Al Gore burning up gas globe-trotting to climate change revivals.

In his book “Classical Anarchism” (1991) George Crowder comments on page 193 about M. Bookchin, modern industrial organization, anarchism and ecology : “Assuming this account of the implications of modern industrial organization to be well founded, one way in which the anarchists could respond would be to urge that industrial patterns of this kind, and therefore goods that can only be produced in this way, be abandoned. This is the route taken by those contemporary anarchists who have allied themselves with the more radical forms of ecological thought. Bookchin, author of “Toward An Ecological Society” (1980), for example, argues that a shift away from modern industrial ‘production for the sake of production’ with its tendency to ‘devour nature’, is not merely desireable but essential ‘if we are to survive ecological catastrophe’. Al Gore–turn down the heat in your mansion. Furthermore, on page 131 Crowder paraphrases the classical Russian anarchist Kropotkin’s words that appeared in Kropotkin’s letter to the German anarchism historian Nettlau, the letter appearing in the book “Selected Writings On Anarchism and Revolution” ed. M.A. Miller (1970) : As moral beings we ought to ‘love what seems to us good and….hate what seems to us bad’, but the hypocrisy that conceals bourgeois injustice strangles these sentiments. ‘We do not dare to hate’, writes Kropotkin. ‘Do we even dare to love ?’

Al Gore is a negative-freedom prisoner of his desire for attention from the public and prisoner of his desire for world travels. Ordinary people are prisoners of the Procrustean bedstead lifestyle limits being engineered for them by the Gore-like hypocrites. As the lyrics of The Police song “Spirits In The Material World” say : “Our so-called leaders speak, With words they try to jail ya, They subjagate the meek, But its the rhetoric of failya”. And Stevie Wonder in his song “He’s Misstra Know-It-All” has lyrics to the effect that the rich know-it-all man has a counterfeit dollar in his hand and says to the poorer man or woman “If you had my kind of cash you’d have more than one place to go”. The ghetto man has no money for travel expenses to Copenhagen cult gatherings.

And Joe Lieberman thrives on the limelight of being special because he is against allowing those aged 55 to 65 to buy into Medicare. If he had real Constitutional good guts he would simply say it is Unconstitutional to make people consent to treatment or consent to health insurance tax to pay for those who do demand treatment. It is O.K. to hate Joe Lieberman’s guts as well as Al Gore’s guts.
