(MC1961)http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/thom-hartmann/51118/libertarian-capitalism-killed-my-best-friends Published on The Smirking Chimp (http://www.smirkingchimp.com) Libertarian Capitalism Killed My Best Friends By Thom Hartmann Created Aug 15 2013 - 6:43am *** begin quote *** Libertarian capitalism killed my best friends. Libertarian capitalism also killed my father and the family of one of my coworkers. Let me explain: there are two ways a nation can allow products to come into the marketplace: the libertarian, unregulated “American way” and the regulated capitalism “European way.” *** and *** Scientists and health experts knew as far back as one hundred years ago [1] that asbestos caused a god-awful form of lung cancer called mesothelioma, but because America doesn’t use the precautionary principle, toxic asbestos was used in homes, workplaces, and even schools, well into the 1970s. My friend Terry, my friend Rob, and my father all died of mesothelioma. My coworker Heidi’s life was torn apart by her parents’ fight with the disease and I believe that this pain led directly to her death two years ago. *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # Reinke, F. John (MC1968) responds: First, the American continent has not see "libertarian capitalism" except for the period immediately after the Revolution. Even George Washington fell under the spell of Federal power when he suppressed Shay's Rebellion. By the time Jefferson became Prez, he too forgot all that he espoused up to the Declaration, despite being an anti-Federalist. Second, the asbestos use was endorsed by the Gooferment. (From whence all problems originate!) The article specifies the use in the war-time ship building industry, the public schools, and home building. All under the direct control of the "enlightened Gooferment" of the time. Sorry, but the "crony capitalists" always were allowed to slip away from any accountability by the "justice" system. Argh, you can't find a more slanted "casino" than the "Crony Capitalism" found in the USA and Europe. Restricted by regulation, certainly even you see the humor in that? And, for the record, neither side of the aisle is "Caesar's wife" in this morality play. Perry, Gardisal, forced immunization. The FDA is a tool of Big Pharma to restrict competition and ensure profits at the expense of the people. Third, let's just examine how "wars" arise in what you pose as "libertarian capitalism". I can't find any Libertarian who doesn't espouse some form of the Non-Aggression Principle. Under that, war is rare. MYOB does not start a lot of fights. Note, how many Prez's are elected as a "peace candidate" Wilson, FDR, Nixon, BHO44. Yet, we seems to be in more laonger wars than ever? Remember "War is the health of the State" and "War is a racket". You are turning me from a minarchist (i.e., small government is needed) to an anarchist (i.e., advocates stateless societies based on non-hierarchical free associations)!

2013-Aug-19JNEWS: Mazzuca, Frank [MC1969] Interim Assistant Principal Barr Middle Schoolhttp://www.nanuetsd.org/Dear Parents: On August 3, 2013, Ruben Addarich, the Assistant Principal of the Barr Middle School, unexpectedly submitted his resignation for purposes of retirement. Mr. Addarich has served the District for 12 years and he will certainly be missed. We wish him well in his retirement. The search for a new Assistant Principal will begin in the fall and may not conclude until the end of the school year. In order to ensure the school does not miss a beat and has the administrative capacity to provide students with a safe, secure, positive learning environment, Frank Mazzuca, Director of Athletics, will serve as Interim Assistant Principal. Mr. Mazzuca received his Bachelors Degree from Manhattan College, as well as three Masters Degrees in the areas of Reading, Special Education and School Administration. He began his teaching career as a Physical Education Instructor for the Bedford Public Schools. He began working at Rockland BOCES in 1972 and continued as a Physical Education Teacher, Administrative Assistant of Special Education, and Supervisor of Special Education. He was involved with the Special Olympics since 1972 and received numerous awards and recognition for his commitment, including the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Mid-Atlantic States Special Olympics Committee and the Volunteer of the Year Award for the NYS Special Olympics. He received the Citizen of the Year Award from the NYS Sons of the American Revolution Organization. He was one of 28 volunteers in the United States invited to the home of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the President of the Special Olympics, in recognition of his long service to that organization. Mr. Mazzuca is no stranger to A. MacArthur Barr Middle School, having served as Assistant Principal and later Associate Principal from 1988 to 2001. During that time, he established a close relationship between staff and students and between the school and parents. Among his many contributions, he started the Annual Father-Daughter Dance and Fifth Grade Family Fun Nights. For a brief time, Mr. Mazzuca also served as Interim Principal at Miller Elementary School before assuming his current leadership position as Director of Athletics. We are very appreciative that Mr. Mazzuca offered to assist Mr. Guccione, the Middle School teachers, and support staff through this period of transition. During this period, the District will support Mr. Mazzuca’s continued leadership as Director of Athletics.

2013-Aug-19JOBIT: Sachs, John Richard [MC1956 RIP]http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=john-richard-sachs&pid=166519496#fbLoggedOutJohn Richard Sachs Obituary 1934 - 2013 DR. JOHN RICHARD SACHS passed away on July 17, 2013. A Brooklyn boy, he became, through hard work and a gifted intellect, a physician, a Major in the Army, a medical researcher with an international reputation, a world traveler, a devoted husband of 54 years, and a father of three. Born in 1934, he often said that his "big chance" came when he was awarded a place at Regis High School, the highly selective Jesuit school in Manhattan. He won scholarships to Manhattan College, earning a BS degree in 1956, and Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, graduating in 1960. On receiving his medical degree, he embarked on his life's work – the study of the red blood cell and its components. While doing research as a post-doctorate fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and within seven years of his graduation from medical school, he wrote and published papers in the Transactions of American Physicians and the Journal of Clinical Investigation. They were ground-breaking studies of the characteristics of the red blood cell's sodium pump. He would publish scores of papers in medical journals during his career; his first paper in the New England Journal of Medicine appeared in 1968. After his fellowship, he was appointed an assistant professor in the Department of Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine. In 1966 he was drafted into the Army and was commissioned a Captain. He continued his research at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. His work there led to the treatment of soldiers in Vietnam stricken with a rare but deadly blood disease. He was promoted to Major, and was honorably discharged in 1969. He returned to Yale and rose to the rank of associate professor in both the Department of Physiology and the Department of Medicine in the Yale University School of Medicine. In 1975 he moved to the recently formed Stony Brook University Medical School, where he was a founding member of the Division of Hematology in the Department of Medicine. He rapidly became full professor and Head of the Division of Hematology at Stony Brook and Northport Veterans Hospital, positions he held for many years. He was an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association and was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and other government and private agencies all his professional life. He also taught in the medical school, supervised resident physicians and was an attending physician in both hospitals. He continued his output of highly respected research papers, and contributed to textbooks such as The Red Blood Cell and Red Cell Membrane Transport. He married his wife, Marilyn (nee Mahn), a graduate of The Mary Louis Academy, in 1959. She and their three children, Carolyn, John Jr. and Jennifer, and two grandchildren, survive him. He passed away at Stony Brook University Medical Center, where he was professor emeritus. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that donations be made to Regis High School.

2013-Aug-21JOBIT: Klimek, Robert John [MC1962 RIP]http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Robert-Klimek&lc=2694&pid=166532100&mid=5639380In Memory of Robert John Klimek MD January 20, 1941 - August 18, 2013 Obituary Lyme- It was a spectacular day for sailing, but then again every day for Dr. Robert J. Klimek was a "perfect" day for sailing. It was August 5th, 2013 and there was a consistent, dry northwesterly wind blowing at a steady 12-15 knots. These were ideal conditions for "Reverie", his beloved sloop of nearly 30 years. Bob felt most at ease while behind the helm and relished in the splendor and speed that his vessel provided. The winds held true and his children's graceful smiles beamed about as they finished the day by sailing back to port. This was his spectacular day; a day capped by a view of the sunset sky over Hamburg Cove, sipping a Mount Gay Rum and tonic, all the while listening to a little Oscar Peterson. Robert J. Klimek sailed into this world on January 20, 1941 in Middletown, CT and was raised in Meriden. His mother became head nurse at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and worked there for nearly 40 years; this was to be his catalyst for his chosen profession of Ophthalmology. Bob graduated from La Salle Military Academy in 1958, Manhattan College in 1962 and Southern University of New York Medical School in 1966. Following medical school, he interned at Greenwich Hospital. He returned to New York for his residency at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in 1967 where he was Chief Resident. Carol Pearson, a Canadian "Doris Day", caught his eye during his last year of residency. In 1969 they were married along with her sister Margo and husband Don in a double ceremony at St. Mark's Catholic Church in Prescott, Ontario. As winter rolled in, Carol hinted that the two of them should go to Europe for a ski vacation. Carol, having skied in Colorado, was the more avid and agile skier. In true Bob fashion, he perfected this new craft and was soon able to tackle the double blacks of Telluride. Skiing became his sole winter pursuit and Telluride would eventually become his second home. After the birth of their son Rob in 1970 the two decided to leave the glass and metal skyline of Manhattan and headed to the shores of southeastern Connecticut where Bob had spent his summers as a child. Bob went into practice with Dr. John Gager. After Dr. Gager's passing, Dr. Jack Reilly partnered with Bob and the Shoreline Eye Group was formed. Bob was the Chief of Ophthalmology at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital until the formation of the Constitution Eye Surgery Center East in 2001. He was one of the founding members and President. Bob's passion for his patients and his staff was second to none. He strived for excellence and perfection, one of the many reasons he was respected by all. Bob was precisely balanced. When not attending to the needs of his endearing patients, he tended to his family and the community of Old Lyme where they lived for 18 years. They eventually settled in Lyme overlooking Hamburg Cove from it's eastern prow. It was from this location that he would blast the sunset cannon, a tradition instilled from his memberships to the New York Yacht Club and the Cruising Club of America. During the rearing of his three doting children, Rob of Colorado, Serena of New Canaan, CT and Alison of Boulder, CO, he took it upon himself to insure that they had an upbringing that was sans pareil. He invested in their minds, their pursuits and their unlimited love for family and friends. That was what he bestowed upon his wife, children, four grandchildren and patients. Bob lived every moment of his life with conviction and purpose. His legacy will continue on even though his life was cut short. On August 18th, he died at home surrounded by his family due to a brief illness. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lyme Land Conservation Trust or a charity of your choice. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM on Saturday, August 24, 2013 in Christ the King Church in Old Lyme. Fulton-Theroux Funeral Home of Old Lyme is handling the arrangements. Please visit www.fultontherouxoldlyme for tributes, directions and more service information. #-#-# Klimek, Robert John [MC1962 RIP] Guestbook: http://www.legacy.com/guestbook/DignityMemorial/guestbook.aspx?n=robert-klimek&pid=166532100 # - # - # - # - # 2013-Aug-21 @ 18:59 |

Murray escaped from two walks and a hit batter in the sixth, so a change seemed appropriate in the seventh. “Their starting pitcher shut us down all game,” said Naugatuck’s Kyle Murphy. Lefthander Joel Judson (1.1 innings, five earned runs, four hits, two strikeouts, one walk) started the seventh and the Dogs found their hits. Jeff Sturm and Sean Miller-Jones (3-for-3) started the inning with singles. Murphy (2-for-3, four RBI), who just graduated from Division I Manhattan College, built a one-two count, then blasted a three-run shot over the left field fence, tying the score, 4-4. *** end quote *** Murray, Connor [MC2013] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Aug-23 @ 10:44 |

2013-Aug-23MEMAIL: Vozhilla, Mariela [MC2012 RIP] is remembersDear fjohn reinke (mc1968),In a week it will have been a year since the passing of Mariela Vozhilla. We have found that (and you may know this from personal experience) one of the most difficult times for a family after a death is the first anniversary of the loss of their loved one. Commonly, when we lose someone dear to us, we seek ways to feel close to that person or for ways to honor their memory. You can do much to help them feel closer to their loved one at this difficult time. Simply click on the link below to send a "Thinking of You" message to the family. Perhaps you can also take a few minutes to share a special memory of Mariela Vozhilla on the Book of Memories™ tribute site. Both of these gestures cost nothing, and will mean so much to the family. http://wmsfuneralhome.com/book-of-memories/1328952/Mariela-Vozhilla/index.php Thank you for the love you share with others, and your caring ways.

The mayor wants to fingerprint more than 600,000 people who live in public housing. He said it would be done to make the projects safer. *** end quote *** OK, so let me understand this. Why do we still have "public housing"? Did NOT everyone deem this idea a disaster a while ago? Here's an idea. Give it to the residents. Lock, stock, barrel, and deed. Set them up as little democracies. Maybe there has to be a transition fund to get it going. Then gradually keep lowering the subsidy. End of problem. Give people ownership and they will solve the problems. (Legalizing drugs would also stop the violence as we learned during Prohibition.) Need a biometric id for public housing, but not voting? I guess I'm just an anarchist at heart. # - # - # - # - # |
