Thoughts
I was wondering where in the Obamacare law people were exempted from the mandate if they lived in one of the many parts of the US where there is no health care. Why require people to spend money on something that is impossible for them to use.
Maybe it would have been a better idea to see what could be done about making health care available before you decided to make it ‘Affordable’. The same goes for signing up on the Internet or over the phone – that presupposed the availability of Internet and/or phone service. There are a lot of areas in the US where there is no ‘grid’, but there are citizens.

When it comes to spying on your friends, most nations have the good sense not to talk about it outside of a very limited group in very secret places. When you start doing it wholesale, the governments of those friends can’t ignore it, and it creates major problems.
The use of contractors by the US creates another major concern for foreign governments because their business communities are going to be raising hell about it. It isn’t just the US government spying on them, it is their competitors.
Frankly it looks like we aren’t interested in anything but gathering as much data as we possibly can. There is no purpose to it because there is no way we have the people to actually analyze it. We are hoarding data, but no one is actually clear as to why. The ‘reasons’ offered sound more like excuses for a compulsive mental disorder. It is time for an intervention.
