LGBT Equality .. Health Care .. HIV .. Death .. Sickness .. Hidden by Love?

Are we unintentionally advocating for more HIV infected persons,
and an increase in HIV related deaths, hidden by love?
Does this subset of our population need to be a political issue?

Deaths: Leading Causes for 2009
————————————————

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease was among the leading causes of death for the age groups between 20 and 44.
National Vital Statistic Report

For Male or Female of any race.  More people die from HIV related disease than influenza or pneumonia.  How do I advocate for equal rights when the acceptance of LGBT persons are directly related t0 negative health effects, death.  Being liberal, freewill, open or kind hearted or even sympathetic toward LGBT’s rights is fine, but it doesn’t make it right, especially to make it a f1 in 5 living with hivederal issue.  With 45 years of life, I like President Obama have evolved, but, there’s still an issue ..

Macklemore a popular musical artist has a way with words and when two people love each other, regardless of sex, race and age, romance is beautiful.  Couldn’t agree more!  Two guys that really enjoy each others company more than any other person, is a good thing for them, and other LGBT’s.  And while this isn’t the norm, yet, times are changing.  This subset of people are less than 4% of the population, but heres the real issue, more than 40% of the voting population advocate for their rights, and this percentage of support is growing, making this an unavoidable issue, but I ask you again, is it right?

The perception that government needs to evolve more subsets of individual rights seem a bit construed.  But what does it really come down to: Health Care.  LGBT individuals want to be able to marry a partner and be able to receive benefits as the significant other (spouse) in that family.  I’ve evolved, who am I to say that two individuals that truly love each other shouldn’t be able to marry?  I shouldn’t be able to prevent this.

But … males ages 20-44, actually all the way til age 54, one of the leading causes of death is HIV. And HIV is ranked 10 for all black males, of all ages.   Am I wrong to be apprehensive about advocating for the male transmitting HIV from partner to partner without concern for their health.  Education may play a role, and unfortunately this also leads to ultimately .. the responsibility of the parents and the last I knew, percentages of children with a mom and dad have dramatically decreased .. (Ref 1,  Ref2).  And because of this statistic, we will rely more on our government which is effed up to begin with, which our State and House representatives are the biggest self righteous part of our economy.

I consider this a disease, a chromosome that isn’t at its best.  (Ref 3Ref 4 , Ref 5)

One thing is clear: The environment a child grows up in has nothing to do with what makes most gay men gay.
Discover Magazine

Why isn’t it considered a mental illness?  Because love is involved, awh.  This information will make most woman and almost all liberals sympathetic to the gay male, thus in support of their right to love tgay bisexual men of all races are the most severly affected by hivheir same sex, regardless of it being a leading cause of death in age groups 20-54.  Is this not a hurdle for anyone else? Advocating to this subset of people is advocating for sexual relations that can ultimately end in death.

Hypothetically speaking, what would our society look like if none of our relationships were traditional?  Holy F@@! .. can you imagine what pro-creating would look like.  That’s my reaction to Lesbians and Gays, but can you imagine a society predominantly bi-sexual and trangendered? This is a disease of the brain, a chromosome, a genetic imbalance and unfortunately I also want them to love, like I do my wife, but ..

I cannot advocate for a subset of our population, directly responsible for a leading cause of death in the age group 20-44.

Wheres the edustop aids get tested and educate otherscation to lower this statistic?  Liberal Family Planning enforced in our public schools is obviously not helping.  We can wait for Big Pharma to come up with a medication that will allow HIV infected patients to live happy, healthy lives .. but then I wonder, why were HIV infected people dying, maybe it was wrong to begin with?  If our LGBT friends want  conservative support, HIV needs to drop out off the statistics of top causes of death and educating our young will be imperative to this.  Unfortunately blinded by love, our country will pursue this equality without the evaluation of the negative aspects it will have on our society.  In addition, our health insurance companies don’t require HIV testing during an annual physical exam, but .. maybe it should be a requirement for college enrollment or all annual insurance paid physicals?  If a doctor believes they could have uncommon sexual tendancies, LGBT, the doctor must ask if they can test for HIV, which can be awkward.  I .. give blood a few times a year and they will send me a letter if they cannot take my blood .. haven’t received a letter yet.

Let me conclude, by saying I have Lesbian & Gay friends, I’ve enjoyed meals and cocktails many times over, these relationships are solid, mature and developed and some gay friends are still apprehensive about coming out of the closet.  Unfortunately the sexual trials and tribulations of many(not all) of the LGBT community have such a hazardous health risk, even death, at this point I cannot support the LGBT community at a federal or even a state level.  Get tested, educate others and reduce the HIV death rate and perhaps, the LGBT community will gain more support.

President Obama, TY – Child Tax Credit Reduced to $1000 from $2600

Not sure if you had something to do with it or not, but .. I just completed my taxes and the government tax credit went from $2600 to $1000 per child.  This is a step in the right direction.

My family and friends. .. need to get out there and work.  With three great children of my own, (working through high school challenges right now), but yes 3 .. its expensive to support even 1 child.  As a parent I need to be completely responsible for each child I bring into this world, can you possibly imagine what it would be like if I found a way for someone else to pay for everything, all their food, education, housing and their health care.  BINGO ..

Anyway,  that’s whats happening in 11 states.  More people are being supported by the government than people paying taxes into the state.    What have we turned our society into by having children and allowing the government to financially raise them? What happened to brown paper bags with a pbj and some chips.  Can’t This system of enabling people to get more snap .. seriously snap? healthcare & section 8, Stop relying on the government to give them things.  This could be the number 1 reason for illegal immigrants to live here in the US .. and the reason .. have children .. they that are born here are legal immigrants.  Our pediatricians offices, hospitals, public schools and snap for the child, with illegal parents are growing.

But .. this is the right direction.

Amnesty .. Will it work?

I’ve went back and forth on this issue .. and while I’m still not convinced Amnesty is the right thing, I don’t see any other way for our illegal immigrant to become tax payers and help pay for the benefits they are already receiving: health care, education, food stamps and subsidized housing.

Rubio, Shumer, Mccain .. (Photo: Saul Loeb, AFP/Getty Images)

1. Education. The American Dream.  Public schools do not check for legal status of citizenship.  Illegal parents are not paying taxes, yet they are benefiting from it. More Info.

2. Health Care.  In 49 states Hospitals do not check for legal immigration status.  The hospitals get stuck with the bill and normally get state or federal aid to help offset this cost.  Illegal immigrant are not paying taxes to help offset this burden yet they are benefiting from it.  Except in Arizona.

3. SNAP; Food Stamps.  If a household has all illegals, they cannot get Food stamps.  But as data suggests, most illegals live with people of legal status. More Info. Therefore the Illegals living there are not paying taxes to help offset this burden, yet they are receiving the benefit, without becoming legal.

4. Section 8: Subsidized Housing. As a similar situation occurs, only 1 member of a household must be legal to obtain Section 8 housing. Federal law also states Undocumented citizens are allows to live in the Section 8 housing, as long as there is one person of legal citizenship.  More Info.  Therefore the Illegals living there are not paying taxes to help offset this burden, yet they are receiving the benefit, without becoming legal.

Why does Mccain say they are not getting the benefits US citizens are getting?  Thats why Illegal immigrants have migrated here, they are already getting all the benefits!

If Amnesty was available, and I was an illegal immigrant and employed (under the table), why would I want to become a legal citizen?  To pay Taxes?  .. Hell no ..!  There is no incentive to for illegals to become a citizen. NONE! ..

I don’t believe Amnesty will work .. There is no incentive to employers or the illegal workers to become legal!  NONE!  And actually, its just the opposite, they would probably prefer to keep it the way it is. Undocumented!

Unfortunately I also believe this has been part of our demise in the last 5-6 years.  The burden on government, health care, education and subsidized food stamps and housing programs.  Our states are going underwater and our federal govt wants to put even more liability on our states.  Were drowning and we need to prevent all Illegals from taking advantage of any of the above if you want amnesty to work..  PERIOD.

Profiling the Murderer with a Firearm (by Deaths)

Please review all the information below .. it really highlights where our firearm concern should be directed.  Keep in mind most of the data doesn’t show specifically the peson committing the assault, but deaths or Victim as a result of a homicide or assault.

Click here for all the causes of the murders

Weapons 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Total 15,087 14,916 14,224 13,752 12,996
Total firearms: 10,225 10,129 9,528 9,199 8,775

Guns are used in About 2/3 of the Murders.   315 Million people in the US.  Other back ground info .. to put it in perspective .. guess how many suicides every year? 38k .. half of them used a firearm .. suffocation and poisoning predominantly the rest.  eerie stats.. The chart below shows intentional injuries which include war, suicide and violence .. caused by a firearm. No. 15 on the list .. its too high.

Crazy Fact .. Alaskan Native or American Indians have a death rate of 36% for Cancer & Heart Disease, compared to whites and Asians .. 46%/47% .. although the AN’s and the AI’s have almost a 12% unintentional injury death rate .. almost 3x that of whites and Asians … heh .. whatever that means ..

Death by age group .. percentage and totals ..

Percent of Death by age group .. leading causes

 

Leading Causes of Death .. by percentages

 

This is interesting .. most of the major whacked stories have been by a white man .. usually mentally disturbed by my recollections anyway .. but the chart below .. shows most murders with are predominantly done by blacks (In Chicago).. heh .. they don’t even go to the gun shows .. well not allll dont .. as Neal Boortz would say ..

70/30 Black 70% vs. Whites 30% ..

While we’re at it ..  National Vital Statistics Reports, Volume 61, Number 7 October 26,  2012  Deaths: Leading Causes for 2009  by Melonie Heron, Ph.D., Division of Vital Statistics  Abstract reviews: Assault or Homicides in Rank of deaths .. 1′s, 2′s and 3′s .. probably aren’t so good … Accidents are usually the number 1 reason for death until age 45 for whites .. while homicides are the number 1 reason for blacks .. 15-34 .. WOW .. why are my black brothers so violent? .. Us white folk number 1 reason for death is accidents .. clumsy ass white boys .. heh .. but really .. where do we need to focus gun laws?

Were wasting a huge amount of time and money when we need to focus on our emotionally unstable, mentally concerned and probably black gangs .. or black & white kids without a dad, my guess (age group 14-30).   Racial Profiling .. Yepp!  White boys in gun show .. nope

The number 1 reason not to put any limits on buying guns and more so on tracking them, regardless of gun style .. 50-90% of all murders are by a stolen gun .. I’ve searched and can’t find a wiki or government site with this statistic .. but some states do offer it .. so my numbers are an estimate ..  Unfortunately there are so many whites .. regardless if its a top 10 death of not .. there are a lot of white firearm homicides too .. just when you consider that 50% of the deaths of black ages 15-24.  Murders by race was 4/1 black/white in chicago .. and most studies include hispanics in the white .. so of the 8500 deaths .. almost 6400 may be committed by blacks .. and the crazy ass white guys showing up on the news are the minority .. just attracts the media because it doesn’t happen very often.  Nothing against my black brothers that don’t commit a hanus crime.  It just is what it is, blacks in street crimes with stolen guns are probably the most predominant concern when talking gun control .. and would gun control change this? .. or create an even bigger black market of guns?

PEACE .. Lets be able to own guns .. any gun .. and be responsible!  I gotta go get a beer now!  cya!  My Research your wisdom!

Should it be mandatory to have a gun local, state or federal gun database?  This if anything should be implemented .. but not on what I can purchase!

Spending or Revenue

So whats the real problem .. our politicians are spending more money than what they take in.  And crazy as it is .. we added the largest health care increases in history.  And on top of that our States are in fiscal concern and the burden of the Obamadoesnthealthcare costs will be dropped on them.  And if you’re like me, my states Medicaid plan is already spending more than what we have.

This whole saga is like giving a college kid a credit card without parental guidance.

$$$$$ IN .. IRS .. >>>>>  $$$$$$$$$$ OUT .. >>>>> > PORK, GREEN, INCENTIVE, TAXES …

Theres no end in sight .. I personally don’t have an open checkbook .. can’t imagine the debt I would be in if I got everything I wanted.  Why should our government lead us into a path of debt? .. I just don’t get it.  We’re a fortunate group living in the US and I like having a The Big Stick military …. IN OUR COUNTRY .. we are not the world police .. period.  Unless it has to do with our borders and the Mexican Cartel is a whole other story.  The indirect cost of spanish speaking people living in our country.  All patient materials and signage .. almost all government material includes spanish …

Anyway .. If I get $$$$$ .. I never spend more than $$$$$ .. PERIOD .. Duh .. We’re not talking millions .. 99,000,000 … we’re not talking billions ..  99,000,000,000 .. WERE TALKING TRILLIONS!  20,000,000,000 … IN DEBT .. AND WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS NUMBER ..

SPENDING MUST NOT BE MORE THAN REVENUE .. PERIOD

It almost makes me sick that our president basically approves a loan for a few billion dollars a day .. every day .. and doesn’t care who’s going to pay for it .. what does he care, his salary alone is more than $500,000 a year .. and a free place to live and fly anywhere .. why would he care who’s going to pay for the debt?  .. Our rich people! .. Thank you .. well I got burned in the tax thing too and I don’ t make close to 250k .. Its not right for rich people and its not right for anyone to continue to pay more for taxes, when we can’t tax illegal the millions of illegal immigrants (free health care and education) and millions of people continue to take advantage of the system … collecting food stamps, free rent, free health care and a back problem caused from an old job is another $600 a month .. and a free phone .. (value of car not required) .. so drive your denali .. and a couple of those people living in the same house .. poof .. why do I have to work? ..

We are enabling our society to be lazy … while we should be inspiring them to become more ecudated, get out .. get a different job that pays more ..

AND OUR PRESIDENT IS GOING ON A GUN TOUR .. FOR REAL?  IT WILL ONLY CREATE A BIGGER BLACK MARKET FOR WEAPONS.  JUST LIKE DRUGS.

Right To Work (RWT) vs. Unions

The Gangsters Union, sorry Teamsters Union wouldn’t allow the Twinkie and the ding dong to be shipped on the same truck to the grocery store, and yes there’s probably more to it, but, now there’s a good chance it will have a made in Mexico label on it. I’ve worked for Unions, not sure how they helped me, other than taking their 17% outta my paycheck (UPS). I personally recall when our steel industry (90% Union) went belly up, skyscrapers started purchasing their steel from Japan because it was cheaper. Another company I worked for couldn’t afford the Union production, so we started shipping our machines to Mexico. We not in the 50′s without a voice. And if you don’t like your pay or benefits, can’t we just go find another job?

RTW doesn’t mean people can’t be part of a union or even start a union, it just gives the employee an option to opt out if they prefer not be part of the Union.  One last comment .. unions usually take care of their tenure .. regardless of their productivity or efficiency.

If a Union provides for their workers at an increased rate with increased benefits but doesn’t allow the product or service to be competitive, how will the Union help when the business closes?

And while I’m currently not a fan of unions, I’m not a fan of big wig executives tripling their bonuses, especially when the company doors will be closing.

Congratulations President Obama

Yep .. Congratulations, even though I didn’t vote for you this time .. but .. lets get back to work!  These are my most important issues in order.

  1. Deficit – With a company/country of our size, why are we in debt?  Why are we paying 40 cents of every dollar to China .. oh ya we’ve taken loans out.  Or we could just print more money and increase inflation, oh ya were doing that too!  Is there anything wrong with becoming debt free?  And if I’d print money, I’d go to jail.  But it’s ok for our government .. hhmm
  2. Unemployment / Jobs – This is a slow mover, but in the right direction.  Couple things.  Our government is not responsible for hiring employees, thus not responsible for jobs.  What we are (govt) responsible for is regulation of .. let our country flourish in the energy sector!   Don’t give money to any industry/company, instead offer carrots to companies that meet an expectation, solar, oil, coal, natural gas wind, etc.. don’t just give money.  Let them succeed and then give them money.
  3. Economy – Moving in the right direction, albeit slow ..
  4. Unions / Auto bailout – How does a union, basically cause a company to fail based on increase labor costs, then the government steps in and now owns 41% of the company that failed, GM?  Why do other companies have to file chapter 7 or chapter 11 and go through the legal process of rebuilding a company?
  5. Military / Protection – Protecting our Freedom is by far the most important thing our Military but provide.  Protecting other countries rights is a misconception.  Who are our allies?  Listen to the people, the children and women, get the facts .. we don’t need to be the super power to show off our strength.
  6. Illegal Immigrants – This is a mess.  Are taking advantage of healthcare and education, at no charge.  Amnesty won’t work  because they won’t want to pay taxes.  Duh .. This is a big factor in the failure of our state medicaid and education financial concerns.
  7. Health Care – Why is government in the middle of all this?  Two things I like, kids til the age of 26 and can’t deny coverage with pre-existing conditions, why did it take more than 1000 pages to get these two things into law?  This Affordable Care Act is a mistake.

Pitch Night @ Google .. Scared to Invest in Healthcare and Education!

Google agrees that healthcare and education need technological improvements but hesitate because of they are too structured, they don’t respond to natural market forces and are dominated by government regulations and unions.

As a parent, I don’t even know where to begin.  We spend how much money in our country on education, Seriously?  12 minutes into the video you hear the hesitation to spend any money in education and health care.  Otherwise its a pretty cool video.

Cost of Education
