    by John Hanchette Olean, NY - Even casual readers of newspapers and watchers of TV know the nation’s health care system, if you can call it that, is broken. Americans who get sick know they’ll pay plenty for it, even if they’re lucky enough to have insurance.

    By Peter Fredson
    Every morning I turn on TV to see what is happening in the world. I keep doing this despite the fact that I rarely learn what is really happening. Let me explain.
    At the beginning of the “news hour” there are 5 to 7 advertisements for toilet deodorants, toothpaste, soft-drinks, suppositories, male enhancement pills, cars new and used, and self-promotional ads for the news services. Then the “anchors” come on, exchange pleasantries, mention the latest movie or (…)

    Amish communities practise the institution of rumspringa. At 17 their children, until then subject to strict family discipline, are set free. They are allowed, solicited even, to go out and experience the ways of the modern world - they drive cars, listen to pop music, watch TV and get involved in drinking, drugs and wild sex. After a couple of years they are expected to decide: will they return to be full members (…)
