WESTERN LEADERSHIP ON DISPLAY:  Mr. Glover has a point.  While much is being made of this incidental Nelson Mandela's funeral, perhaps too much, there is something to Glover's point that we seem now to be governed by frivolous celebrity types whose gravitas is called into question by these actions.  Maybe this sort of activity on the part of politicians is simply the end result of the trivializing of everyone by a media always looking for unguarded moments of the rich and famous.  To what end?  Maybe prurient public interest in what the rich and famous are really like? Who knows?   But one would like to think the leaders are serious people not frivolous celebrity types, and this incident definitely lowers them in stature and seriousness.

IN SIMPLEST TERMS HEREIN IS THE ANSWER TO THE FAILURE OF OBAMACARE:  Where the incentives are wrong expect the worst.  The nest big challenge is to survive this disaster and to date there are no easy answers.  A best guess might be that a parallel free enterprise system will emerge that will simply bypass Obamacare leaving the ACA to serve the indigent and near indigent.  In the meantime this critical component of the economy has been unnecessarily destroyed for the sake of ambitious and venal politicians and their cohorts.  Everyone agrees and always has agreed the healthcare industry needs reforms.  However, reforming does not mean destroying and rebuilding from scratch, which is what the radicals in charge of our government have done.
