Alaskan Abundance
In recent weeks and months I have seen a plethora of Alaskan related media appear. I never thought much of Alaska before but have always loved its beauty and would love to vacation there someday, either on a cruise or a trip inland to Denali National Park.
I watched Northern Exposure when it aired and love watching reruns on my local PBS station in the evenings. You couldn't help but love and follow the lives of Maurice, Joel, Ruth and all the others. I loved the stoic manner of Joel's secretary, Marilyn Whirlwind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Exposure....

An Energy Reformation
Our current American economy seems to be on the verge of recession or depression due to escalating gas prices. This in turn affects the prices of food and other essential items for life. These high prices are the fault of OPEC not releasing enough crude oil for sale and limiting supplies of this vital resource. China and India are growing exponentially right now and they need oil for their growth. Oil is the fuel of the machine of progress.

We live in a great country with a great medical options and access to care for most. Emergency care and access to it are the norm. Preventative screenings for cancer and life saving medicines are within reach. We live long lives due to our American medical system. The great choices and life saving options should remain as they are.
I do not want to see socialized medicine adopted in this country. All health care would become substandard and inadequate. Seeing your family doctor or getting routine medical procedures and screenings would become impersonal and would require long wait times. The Canadian socialized health care system confirms this. Canadian citizens wait for years to get routine life saving surgeries or procedures. Many become impatient and come to the United States for their care even if it means the patient will have to pay for 100% of that care.
I have personal experience in not wanting socialized medicine in the USA.
