  3. To the Honourable tlie President and House of Convention. Gentlemen, The vote of this day appointing me governor of the commonwealth, has been notified to me in the most polite and obliging manner, by George Mason, Henry Lee, Dudley Digges, John Blair, and Bartholomew Dandridge, esquires. A sense of the high and unmerited honor conferred upon me by the convention, fills my heart with gratitude, which I trust my whole life will manifest. I take this earliest opportunity to express my thanks, which I wish to convey to you, gentlemen, in the strongest terms of acknowledgment. When I reflect that the tyranny of the British king and parliament hath kindled a formidable war, now raging throughout this wide-extended continent, and in the operations of which this commonwealth must bear so great a part ; and that, from the events of this war the lasting happiness or misery of a great proportion of the human species will finally result ; that in order to preserve this commonwealth from anarchy, and its attendant ruin, and to give vigour to our councils, and effect to all our measures, government hath been necessarily assumed, and new modelled ; that it is exposed to numberless hazards, and perils, in its infantine state ; that it can never attain to maturity, or ripen into firmness, unless it is guarded by an affectionate assiduity, and managed by great abilities ; I lament my want of talents ; I feel my mind filled with anxiety and uneasiness, to find myself so unequal to the duties of that important office, to which I am called by the favor of my fellow citizens at this truly critical conjuncture. The errors of my conduct shall be atoned for, so far as I am able, by unwearied endeavours to secure the freedom and happiness of our common country. I shall enter upon the duties of my office, when ever you, gentlemen, shall be pleased to direct ; relying upon the known wisdom and virtue of your honorable house to supply my defects, and to give permanency and success to that system of government which you have formed, and which is so wisely calculated to secure equal liberty, and advance human happiness. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient and very humble servant, P. HENRY, JUN.
  4. Bro< >KB, it is not a federal mandate to have car insurance I know but in the states I have resided in you are supposed to have it to register your vehicle so you don't make someone else "take the loss" for you. < You have to won a vehicle first. >Doesn't always happen that way, but it's the lack of personal accountability that gets me....< Hang around a ER and bring a barf bag!
  5. >Again, US public spending on healthcare is vastly higher than anywhere else in the world including many european nations with either free or directly publically funded systems considered to offer a better standard of care.< Free?Really?So we are going to Europe for better care?I never knew,.... >Is that wrong? surely better than helping to support the massive profits of the healthcare industry AS TAXPAYERS.< The ACA does NOT address that!
  6. >Yes they should be forced to have insurance, same as auto insurance.< Auto insurance is not a federal mandate. >If that wasn't mandatory, how many more idiots would be driving around running into responsible people and not being able to pay for their damages? < We already do. >WE (those of us who have HI) are paying for those who are irresponsible, who don't have HI and end up in the emergency room. As far as I see it, it's all about personal responsibility. Why should somebody be allowed to bet they won't get sick and not get health insurance, but when they do we have to pay the bill on it?< That's not infringing on someone's freedom, it's ass backwards logic. < You mean like illegals?They are exempt from ACA you know,.... >Maybe a pair of magic underwear will make everything go away.... < Maybe if the addressed the cost of HI,which they didn't, it might get resolved. Case in point: a friend had a stay in the local hospital and got an itemized bill of the charges.Guess what 1 aspirin cost?$10.00 >Yes, govt is not perfect, but what is? Certainly not private businesses that don't complete the services they are contracted to do or fuck over the people who pay into premiums and don't have things covered that should be without a fight or ever for that matter.< Not in there. Good luck!
  7. 44 million(est) without HI,so they have to get it or be taxed.There 20 more taxes in the bill,so how the hell can they call it the Affordable Care Act? What the SCOTUS really said is that the Feds can force you to buy something.FTS!
  8. KB... Hope that vid is the edited version
