This in from Public Citizen:

"Buried in the 1200-page Senate financial reregulation bill we found a sneaky provision that would undermine state-level insurance consumer protections if they conflict with trade agreements! Yup, the "Office of National Insurance" (ONI) proposal would empower the Treasury Department to unilaterally override existing state insurance regulations that it deems to be out of step with international agreements."

Although most menwomen of Vashon know that in nine-out-of-ten cases the national government acts for its funders, these same menwomen are content to leave Vashon's interests in the hands of that so-called "government". That's interests such as medical care, financial security, and social stability.

It's okay for these menwomen to think it's enough to celebrate our uniqueness, root for the Pirates, and vote for the school levies, but in acting that out they put the entire Island at risk. I know some of you personally and know why you do not think we should beef up our medical, our agriculture, our skills infrastructure and establish a local credit-clearing money system, I know the reason. You think the United States is stable. It isn't.
