− | + | Actually, I am very impressed with Senator Ben Downing. That, comnig from someone not easily impressed by politicians. While his answer was incomplete (the problem is monumental), it was sincere and empathetic. As best I understood, he basically acknowledged that the reform mandate, such as it is, is a deeply flawed starting point. What impressed about him the most, was his command of a broad spectrum of issues, as evidenced by his articulate in-depth responses to questions. The simple fact that he holds open-house, open-forum district meetings shows that he is willing to listen, and that he is open to his constituents legitimate concerns, opinions and suggestions. He did indicate that he would be receptive to hearing my suggestions relative to public health policy.In short, I believe we are lucky to have Senator Ben Downing representing us.Thanks for reading, for your comments and support. | |

− | + | Thank you for sharing this.I think omseone should sit down with him to channel this spirit of (the strangely blond-haired) Abraham. Then, without telling Gary ahead of time, have the interviewer address Abraham in Hebrew. I find it odd that he not only speaks English, but speaks in an accent different altogether from Gary's. Also interesting was the seance in which the spirits of the dead were allegedly moving a glass around a table using the hands of the participants. Because apparently they need to use human energy? Wouldn't a good way to test this be to put a sleeping or unconcious person's hand on a glass, call the spirit to give a sign, and see if it moves? (Did I hear about this somewhere else, and see the test fail? I feel like I must have.)Gary's story reminds me so, so much of the story of Joseph Smith's founding of the Mormon church. It's incredibly and eerily similar: a very young man with a history of believing his own tall tales gets other people caught up in his fantasies, gets an enthusiastic response from the public, makes a bit of money, and continues to stretch his mythology even further, but without truly having a clear idea how deep into this he's getting. (I really believe that's Gary is somewhat naive: just look at the moment in part 5 when he finds out Pam's gall stone was not healed; he's blushing and flustered, and has no idea how to spin that in a way that sounds both convincing and flattering to himself). Joseph Smith also claimed to have spoken with dead prophets, and often performed faith healings. Now, nearly 200 years later, his church is globally influential, and unfortunately a source of pseudoscience, and more often than not a force of evil. For that reason (and the fact that he's swindling people out of getting real health care), I hope Gary is stopped sooner rather than later. I really don't want to see this sort of thing spreading around the world. | |
