for those wishing to hear an explanation or clarification from me, here goes. I believe most people on here know my political stances as Libertarian. This does not make me an anarchist, nor does it make me an anti-government person. What this means is that I am 'limited' government, as the founders intended. The more you allow government to control things, the more they control you and the events in your life. Now, some people have no problem with this governmental control in their lives, but I do. It's been a repeated event in history that the more power you give a government, the more of your freedom you end up surrendering.

That being said, I'm finding myself in between the rock and the hard place with the health care reform. The authoritarians on here want government to intervene and control prices of medical care so that it's affordable for all involved. I believe this is the wrong way to reform health care. I also am having to face the prospect of resignedly participating in a government health care program for the private reasons as discussed earlier. Does this mean, to some here, that I should willingly accept a socialized health reform program because I may be coerced in to having to participate? If so, i'm sorry to inform you that it doesn't.

I don't know what else to really say except that my mixed emotions about this whole episode in my life, and my spouses life, have probably resulted in an even further positioning of my ideologies. Some would probably call it extreme. So be it.

I do know for certain that the mandate or prison portion has solidified my resolve. I will not submit. I will resist by any means necessary. most of you will not want to understand that position. That's a shame for you. At some point in your lives, you will unfortunately realize that you surrendered too much liberty, too freely, and will be too late to do anything about it.
