On Government Reform: Role of third parties is to widen debate

If the Presidential Debate Commissions rules were in force then, Abraham Lincoln would not have qualified. Jesse Ventura would not have qualified during his successful gubernatorial run either. Furthermore, even if third parties don’t have 15% of the vote, they serve an important function: without third parties, numerous issues would never be brought into general consciousness. Slavery would never have been an issue without third parties, nor most of the civil rights movement.

On Health Care: Cost-effective meditation bargain for taxpayer

Smoking cessation, prenatal care, stress management, diet & exercise, the National Institutes of Health in a major study published by the American Heart Association just declared that Transcendental Meditation, a stress reduction program, was the most effective and cost-effective treatment for high blood pressure. This program should be reimbursable under Medicare, because being cost-effective, it gives the taxpayers who support that program the most value for their dollar.
