A MINOR MIRACLE
CENTRAL COAST SCENES
You may find this hard to believe during this time of acrimony, division and rancor. Yesterday a group of about 50 Cambrians with enormously divergent political and philosophical views sat together in a moderated discussion on American Health Care. It was a time of fellowship and social mixing, but the agenda was a discussion of what to do about American Health Care. I can not state emphatically enough how divergent were the views. Well, after a couple of hours this group agreed to ten basic principals. There was discussion, debate, soul searching and these people from the right, left, republican, democrat, Christian, objectivist, agnostic, libertarian and Buddhist agreed on ten principals. It gave this old boomer a sense of optimism.

Don't you think there should be some way to re-do your brackets, now that Syracuse star Fab Melo has been declared ineligible? The 7 foot Brazilian is a key weapon for the Orangemen and with him out, the highly rated, and in some cases favored, Syracuse will likely not be as strong. I know
I wish I could re-do my bracket.

Pay another $10 and do another one. You are right of course. Here is a case where procrastination may pay

DeleteThey are exotic.
Cambrians discuss a controversial topic such as health care in a reasonable and thoughtful way? How wonderful...and rare, sort of like the fox and the hens playing pinochle together. How did this happen? What context? And more importantly, what were the 10 basic principles agreed upon? I hope it works.
ReplyDeleteIt was at the Second Tuesday at CPCC discussion of The Morality of American Health Care. Among the lead principles-Universal coverage, affordability, portability, free choice for doctor and coverage plan.
