			"Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what 
			average opinion believes average opinion to be..."--John 
			Maynard Keynes, British Economist 
			Until some years ago I would streamline everything, I would have 
			a job to do and I would streamline it making sure there wouldn't be 
			any repetitive or duplicate work, and the job would be well 
			documented so that it could be maintained for any future need. 
			Today, I don't streamline anything and I tell my sons James and Rico 
			to be redundant in their life as life is really a metaphor of 
			metaphors, the more metaphors you can make about anything and the 
			happier everybody is. 
			Therefore, there is no quick fix for anything which is wrong, 
			what is needed is the opportunity to understand and learn as many 
			metaphors as possible. Our health care system is eroding and Premier 
			Ralph Klein of Alberta has his own plan to fix it and Premier Lorne 
			Calvert has another plan to fix it, and in the meantime Roy Romanow 
			is touring Canada and the world to come up with the best health care 
			model to fix our health care system. The major focus of all the 
			proposed quick fixes for health care is more money from Ottawa and 
			the degree of privatization.  
			The "Wellness" health care model implemented by Roy Romanow in 
			Saskatchewan didn't work, and therefore our health care gurus have 
			invented the new promotional term "primary health care." Roy Romanow 
			will be entertaining a dialogue with all Canadians through the 
			Internet and special evidence based surveys will be prepared where 
			respondents will key their answers on a scale one to ten, one being 
			"I absolutely agree" and ten "I absolutely disagree." Roy Romanw's 
			final report will be wrapped up with the Canadian flag, would 
			include the evidence based average and standard deviation for each 
			question of the surveys, and would be marketed under the inventive 
			name "primary health care" for all Canadians.
