Is money the root of all evil or does evil naturally reside in the heart of mankind. As I view the Bernie Madoff’s of the world in the form of Insurance Companies, Banks, Mortgage Lenders, Car Manufactures and all those who took part in the material greed that eventually brought us to our knees financially, as well as witnessing how money seems to be the key element in the discussions on health care/insurance reform, I began to recognize how material gain has been such a motivating negativity throughout history.

Senator Baucus, best know for the new insurance reform legislation he has brought to the table in recent days, has essentially outlined a better way for insurance companies to continue on their road of making more money off “we the people” by making health care insurance mandatory for every individual.

While in theory, this idea is a good idea, technically, by making insurance “mandatory” is this not more government control over your individual lives, something the protesters seem to be totally against. Also, because of his affiliations with the health care industry, his motivations have to stand in question.

Is this proposal Baucus has submitted guided by the fact that over recent years, Baucus has received over $4 million dollars from the health care/insurance fields? How can you trust his proposals based on this large amount of money he has received from the very people the health care/insurance reform is attempting to pull in the reins on?

While he is promoting co-ops, how effective would co-ops be on a large scale and how would these co-ops react to a person who has a pre-determined illness of any type? He is also promoting the expansion of Medicare/Medicaid to be more inclusive to a larger portion of society. Medicare is run by the government, thus making government involved more with your medical coverage – is this a play on words/concepts, or am I the one that is confused.

Power, greed, material gains, land ownership, control seem to be what motivates people to act out in uncaring, egotistical, in the moment ways that always seems to lead to madness on one level or another.

Corrupt governments, in other countries, which keep most of its people living way under the poverty level while government officials are “living large” in plush, comfortable surroundings all indicate that money and power have a tendency to corrupt a man’s soul but I say that man’s soul is corrupt and he sees more power in the money.

Recently, I have been avoiding politics in my personal life. I had begun to feel dirty as though I was actually rolling in the mud with the “pigs” that run this country. I had begun to feel angry at the sight of the protesters’ signs and the talk of racism that still has the capacity to, literally, turn my stomach with the extent of the denials and the irrational acts of racially conscious Americans.

Instead I have been taking the journey into the future with Nostradamus, his predictions of 2012 and scientist who are full of scenarios of what the end could be like. Secretly, I am beginning to hope that it will be as bad as the predictions have outlined for out of the tragedies predicted, maybe, just maybe mankind will become aware that united we have so much more to gain than divided. Something serious needs to shake up mankind to make him see the errors of his ways because those ways are becoming more and more destructive.

It seems that in horrific times, people seem ready to stand besides each other, regardless of race, religion, or anything else that has a tendency to divide, and work for the common good, but only until the crisis is over.

How long does a crisis have to last before people recognize the true meaning of life on earth? Truth be told, as I look around the world as it is today, I see a crisis that is ready to explode and bring the predictions of Nostradamus, the Mayan Indians and Revelations to our doorsteps – how will you respond? How will you survive when money is not the ultimate goal but true survival is all that matters?

Some have predicted a spiritual awakening based on the line up of the planets in 2012. If your God were to meet you face to face and look you squarely in the eyes, would he/she be able to witness a soul that has been true to the concepts of peace, love, forgiveness or would they see the ugliness that has been corrupting your very being and the deeds you have committed tainted by this ugliness in you soul.

While no one really knows the soul of another, what that person thinks or truly feels, your actions, in any given situation, tells a great deal about who you are on the inside. While you may be able to deny with your lips what you really feel, your actions are the road map to your heart – you better recognize before it’s too late.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!
