It talks about the rapidly increasing amount of elderly and how the system won't be able to keep up. There is a poor level of care present in the current medical system with poorly paid nurses. They told of one lady that died when she was given her husbands medication for several weeks till she died.Nearly 35% of nursing homes violated food- sanitation standards.
This article has a very grim outlook on the future of elderly health care in this country. Now how can we fix it? Many people suggest universal health care to fix our broken health care system. I believe with the current sate of health care that a universal health care system will not fix the currant one only make it worse. It will funnel more money from the tax payers to the wealthy medical company's who support our government officials. I feel we need to reform the prices of the current medical system before we can even consider a completely new system.

This entry is about renewable fuels but mostly ethanol. It talks bout how widely it is used now and what will be necessary to produce it in a large enough scale to eliminate our dependency on foreign oil. IT talks about more efficient ways of producing ethanol.
Will America ever be able to meet its own fuel demands? We consume so much oil it seems in conceivable that we could even come close. Right now the renewable energy we use is about 6%. Over 85% is from other countries. It seems impossible but it is necessary and the route that is closest to start to be used is e85 which is already being used in the Midwest at a larger degree.

Can it survive as an uncensored global network?

The Internet is censored in some states in by limiting the equipment they can use and not allowing broadband in government buildings. And some Internet company's due to pressure by governments already have blocks on their web sites some are restricting people from seeing opposing views.
I think with all of the illegal activity online it should be limited but only for that content. The government should not touch any other aspects of it and they should not take what is said too seriously. But knowing how they are it would never happen.
