Trapped Australian miners rescued

Todd Russell and Brant Webb were determined to walk out of the mine

See the miners
Two Australian miners have been rescued from a gold mine after being trapped deep underground for two weeks.
Brant Webb, 37, and Todd Russell, 34, walked out of the lift at the mine in Tasmania and waved to cheering crowds. “

Despite what some people may think, I really do believe in the principles of liberty upon which this country was founded. But, unlike some people, I do not believe that capitalism is the answer to all of society’s woes. I am not saying that capitalism has no place in a civilized society, it does but only as long as it is regulated. “Caveat Emptor” (“Let the buyer beware” to those not up on their Latin) should not be the national motto. But the Republican Party in this country is doing everything it can to see to it that regulating businesses in this country becomes a thing of the past. They like to say that “the market” will solve any problems. This is not only ignorant, it’s deadly. We have some real problems in the world, and just because a solution is going to cost money and may not be profitable is no excuse to dismiss it. We cannot continue to act as thought the only solutions to our problems are ones in which someone can make a buck! But that is what this president and his party believe. So, people will be left to die needlessly in some situations just because certain people see nothing to be gained by saving lives if it costs money. Which also demonstrates that they value money over life.

And therein lies the problem. The love of money. Now, as some of you know, I am an atheist, but it doesn’t mean that I am completely ignorant of some of the things that can be found in one or more of the various versions of “The Bible”. (It has always struck me as funny how many different versions there are of “The Good Book.”) I seem to recall a lesson that went something like “The love of money is the root of all evil.” And despite the fact that the Republican Party likes to portray itself as much holier than thou and much more Christian than its ideological opponents, but it still proposes, pushes, and passes legislation designed to help greedy, wealthy people keep more of their money, including ill-gotten gains. I think they should be prohibited from invoking God or Jesus in making their arguments. It has always been a mystery to me why a God who supposedly doesn’t want us doing the things Republicans are doing to their fellow man would let them continue to do it. (If he really existed, I would think he would have put a stop to this a long time ago, and I don’t mean the “Great Flood”, either. But that’s for believers to sort out.) Meanwhile, we have to stop the Republican Party from destroying this country entirely by making the love of money the law of the land.

I believe that our survival not only as a nation, but as human beings, demands that we change our economic systems. We have to realize that people are dying needlessly throughout the world simply because saving their lives proves to expensive for some peoples’ tastes. I wonder how much they think a life is worth? Malaria is still killing people throughout the world, and it could be virtually eliminated through something as simple as four-dollar mosquito nets. I heard that Bill Gates is helping with this sort of thing and I applaud him and his wife for all they have done, but why shouldn’t our government (and all the governments of the world) have done this a long time ago? Why does a profit margin mean more than a human life? Just how high that that profit margin have to be before it is considered “cost effective” to save a life? If the means to save lives are available, then why are only the ones who can pay for it getting them? Do you honestly believe that you could look a sick, dying person in the face and tell them, “I have something that will cure your illness and save your life, but I won’t give it to you because you can’t pay me what I want for it.”? If you can, I can only wish you suffer the same thing as the people you let die because of your greed.

Instead of promoting capitalism, let’s promote altruism. Let’s start recognizing that we are all human beings on this planet, and none of us is more deserving than any of the others just because of which arbitrary and uncontrollable geopolitical boundaries we were born in, or how much wealthier or politically-connected our parents were, or what the color of our skin was at birth. And humans need other humans to survive. We have to stop taking an “us and them” attitude, and that goes for everyone on the planet, not just the Republican Party (although this is one of their mantras). We can start by educating people to the facts, and discouraging the kind of bigoted, xenophobic thinking dominates our current president’s policies. It won’t be easy, and we’ll have to fight every step of the way the people whose cushy, insulated, wealthy lives will be upset by the change. They won’t like it, and they’ll abandon all pretense of humanity to keep what they think they deserve to have. They can’t be allowed to win. The lives of every human being on the planet is at stake. If humanity doesn’t survive as a whole, there won’t be any “winning side.”

Peace to you all. Remember, you’re not alone, unless you choose to be.

The House Republicans (norwoood – ga) are trying to sabotage House passage of even the reasonable bipartisan version passed by the Senate by trying to include an amendment to require mandatory drug testing for all miners – outrageous! Not one fatality this year was caused by drug use – for that matter, not one fatality was caused by miner error. How about having all Congressmen piss in a cup as they walk into work each morning!

What they don’t realize is the Republican also belongs to the country club and lives in areas they wouldn’t be welcomed. He also votes against their best interest when it comes to work place and mine safey. He also votes to cut tax for the rich mine and company owners at their expense. He votes too cut capital gainst taxes for the rich while telling them he cut taxes for midddle class people. He also votes to stop legistlation that would protect mine workers by telling them the democrats blocked it. Then the mine worker files his income taxe and discovers he didn’t get as much back this years as last year. Instead of him realizing they didn’t give him a tax cut, he blames democrats or blacks on welfare, or illegal immmgratation or gays. The standard Republican tactics work everytime because some people are too ignorant to think past the rethoric to see facts as the really are.

I’m sorry but people in Red States need to wake up and realize that Republicans don’t have their best interest at heart. Think about this; If we all voted Republican, we’d only have one party in power. Can anyone tell me what countries which one party in power have done in other parts of the world. How about Russia, Chine, Cuba, Egypt, Iraq etc. They were all great democracies right? Take a minute and think about what happened in these countries under one party rule.

But you can get a permit to do that when making a movie? :)
