To give hope to the helpless. You helped me along this process. Yes, a process that, to my horror and resentment, has started again, just two months after I was given my entitlement. We cannot allow this government to inflict such mental cruelty.<br /><br />I would be honoured if you share this vital message that is also your passion. A passion for justice for the most vulnerable in our green and trying to stay pleasant, land.<br /><br />Thank you and a lovely, sunny weekend to you.<br /><br />Gary xklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-22881807935831404362013-07-06T04:26:42.145+00:002013-07-06T04:26:42.145+00:00Hey Robyn,

A tiny minority abusing the system I making it hell for those who are not. At least, unless this government tries to privatise it, we don't have to worry about medical insurance, no matter what circumstances or class structure we are in. <br /><br />Thank you, Diane.<br /><br />Wishing you a peaceful weekend.<br /><br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-80800405292827435472013-07-06T04:01:23.867+00:002013-07-06T04:01:23.867+00:00Hi Eve,

California, to some degree, has understood that those with a named diagnosis should not be forced to work. They should be given financial support and yet, have the opportunity to work in a low stress environment conducive to their well being or even volunteer work. Done in a way that their rightful benefits are not under threat. <br /><br />In the new reality Britain, the most vulnerable in society are now living with increased uncertainty. Thus, this makes those already sick, sicker. Then the irony is that they can end up having to be admitted to hospital under our Universal healthcare system and put further burden on our healthcare. <br /><br />Hugs, peaceful, hopeful, loving thoughts to you, my dear friend.<br /><br />Gary xoklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-42754623856651222972013-07-06T03:24:43.152+00:002013-07-06T03:24:43.152+00:00Aha, it be Sir Mazza,

Never one to complain. Unless you can spare me ten years :) <br /><br />Brudda, it was my birthday, the other day, which may still be your day. Yes, today is only yesterday's tomorrow.<br /><br />We are, or were, celebrating my 21st birthday times two and then some. <br /><br />And I will hopefully get even more bonus points for commenting at almost half past four in the morning. <br /><br />I got to meet up with some friends who had moved away and then moved back. That was nice and the really good part is that my friends who have moved back, paid for the meal!<br /><br />You would be correct about not being the one to replace Tom Selleck on the remake of Magnum PI. I know somebody who has been considered to look like a dude from a seventies porno film. However, moving extremely quickly on....<br /><br />Dem bananas have turned into a lovely bunch of coconuts.

The burdens, the corruption, in the inhumanity that has been in evidence to the poorest of the poor in India, gets media attention and rightly so. I'm in despair for all who are being subjected to such an immoral outrage.<br /><br />Of course, in Britain, a so-called wealthy, civilized nation, it's not brought to the attention to the world in the way it should. What is happening here is a disgrace and I felt compelled to post this.<br /><br />Dear friend, my continuing hopeful, peaceful wishes for you.<br /><br />Have a good weekend, Damyanti.<br /><br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-11211909067069344762013-07-06T03:03:07.472+00:002013-07-06T03:03:07.472+00:00Hi Ida,

The, don't want to get involved, attitude. Sadly, it doesn't surprise me, dear Ida. <br /><br />There is this assumption that everyone who is on benefits is abusing the system. I know that the vast majority are legitimate claims. So the old, tarnish with the same brush, is a propaganda ploy by the government to pit those who can work, against those who would like to, but cannot. You are absolutely correct in what you note. <br /><br />Apathy is something the corrupt count on to keep them in their immoral positions of power. This has to change and the good fight will continue. Bless you.<br /><br />A peaceful, hopeful weekend to you and your friend.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-8288838544534447832013-07-06T02:52:46.801+00:002013-07-06T02:52:46.801+00:00Hi Julia,

Similar evils occur in the US, of course, but CA takes some measures to support those who are labeled "developmentally disabled." Those with other labels (e.g., "schizophrenia," "bipolar disorder"...) aren't forced to work, but they are dying - emotionally and literally - at the hands of a ruthless system that takes measures only to care for the elite. Because those are the people calling the shots.<br /><br />Hugs, peace, faith, friendship, and love.<br /><br />xoRobynRawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-3356427638633412092013-07-05T06:16:10.163+00:002013-07-05T06:16:10.163+00:00Aloha Gazza,
