CHAPTER I.
TAKING A LINE IN THE SERVICE.
That there is a tide in the affairs of men, has very naturally become a figure of frequent and almost hackneyed use in the cockpits, gun-rooms, and even the captains’ cabins of our ships and vessels of war. Like its numerous brethren of common-places, it will be found, perhaps, but of small application to the real business of life; though it answers capitally to wind up a regular grumble at the unexpected success of some junior messmate possessed of higher interest or abilities, and helps to contrast the growler’s own hard fate with the good luck of those about him. Still, the metaphor may have its grateful use; for certainly in the Navy, and I suppose elsewhere, there is a period in the early stages of every man’s professional life at which it is necessary that he should, more or less decidedly, “take his line,” in order best to profit by the tide when the flood begins to make. It is difficult to say exactly at what stage of a young officer’s career the determination to adopt any one of the numerous lines before him should be taken: but there can be little doubt as to the utility of that determination being made early in life. In most cases, it is clearly beyond the reach of artificial systems of discipline, to place, on a pair of young shoulders, the reflecting head-piece of age and experience; neither, perhaps, would such an incongruity be desirable. But it seems quite within the compass of a conscientious and diligent commanding officer’s power by every means to cultivate the taste, and strengthen the principles and the understanding of the persons committed to his charge. His endeavour should be, to train their thoughts in such a manner that, when the time for independent reflection and action arrives, their judgment and feelings may be ready to carry them forward in the right path; to teach them the habit, for instance, of discovering that, in practice, there is a positive, and generally a speedy pleasure and reward attendant on almost every exercise of self-denial. When that point is once firmly established in the minds of young men, it becomes less difficult to persuade them to relinquish whatever is merely agreeable at the moment, if it stand in the way of the sterner claims of duty.

John McCain Town Hall Cleveland, OH 05/01/08 TRANSCRIPT: QUESTIONER: “…as a public health professional I am extremely interested in your thoughts on the pharmaceuticals for our seniors . . . I want to know: am I going to eat or am I going to pay for my prescriptions?” JOHN MCCAIN:”…I don’t think you’ve attached a lot of drama to what is an actual reality. There are people who are making that decision. Now, we have the Medicare part B program, as you know, prescription drug program. I think we made a serious mistake when we didn’t say that wealthy Americans, like Warren Buffet, like Bill Gates, like myself should pay for their own prescription drugs. There’s no reason for you to pay for wealthy Americans. [applause] I would impose a cost on that. I think the other thing that I would do . . . is that if you want to go to Canada and buy a prescription drug there, then, by god, you should be able to make the trip. And I think that the prescription drug companies should have to compete . . . in the VA . . . the prescription drug companies have to compete to provide prescription drug benefits to our veterans. That’s not the case with Medicare part D . . . I think also we have to redouble our efforts to get generic drugs onto the market . . . so I don’t think there’s one specific answer. But, no American should go to bed tonight and having to make a choice between eating and their prescription drugs. I think we have gone some distance in solving that but that’s one of the …

www.c-spanarchives.org Question: Senator, selling health care coverage in America as a marketable commodity has become a very profitable industry. Do you believe health care should be treated as a commodity? SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, as I travel around the country, this is one of the single most frequently asked issues that I get, is the issue of health care. It is breaking family budgets. I can’t tell you how many people I meet who don’t have health insurance. If you’ve got health insurance, most of you have seen your premiums double over the last eight years. and your copayments and deductibles have gone up 30 percent just in the last year alone. And if you’re a small business, it’s a crushing burden. So one of the things that I have said from the start of this campaign is that we have a moral commitment as well as an economic imperative to do something about the health care crisis that so many families are facing. So here is what I would do. If you’ve got health care already, and probably the majority of you do, then you can keep your plan if you are satisfied with it. You can keep your choice of doctor. We’re going to work with your employer to lower the cost of your premiums by up to 00 a year. And we’re going to do it by investing in prevention. We’re going to do it by making sure that we use information technology so that medical records are actually on computers instead of you filling forms out in triplicate when you go to the hospital. That will reduce …

Small business owner at Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D, CA-6) Town Hall meeting voices frustration over lack of free-market competition in the insurance market. Sounds like small business owners in California are fed up to the point of revolt a la Atlas Shrugged. Is California “going Galt”?

Hudson Valley residents expressed outrage today after their incumbent Congressman, who has refused to hold any public discussions on HR 3200, derisively known as ‘ObamaCare’, attempted to leverage his official position to shut down a series of town hall meetings on health care that have been arranged by his prospective 2010 opponent, New York State Assemblyman Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson). “The congressman’s office seems more interested in spending time trying to avoid a public discussion on health care than they are in reading this 1100 page socialized medicine bill,” Ball said. “A primary concern of mine is that we face an unlevel playing field when a public plan can shift costs to our state’s private insurers because of low doctor and hospital reimbursement rates. State lawmakers nationwide can, and should be hosting public meetings on this critical issue.” According to reports, the current congressman’s requests for cancellation of Ball’s town hall meetings were denied. “Hudson Valley residents deserve an open and honest discussion to debate the consequences of legislation that many believe will irreparably harm both the economy, and our health care system,” said Cornwall Town Supervisor Kevin Quigley. “Our sophomore Congressman may feel differently, but I’m glad to see our state representatives, like Assemblymembers Annie Rabbitt and Greg Ball, taking the lead on this critical issue.” Ball signed onto an official letter from the American Legislative Exchange …

The present volume is rather a condensation than an abridgment of the later volumes of Captain Hall’s “Fragments of Voyages and Travels,” inasmuch as it comprises all the chapters of the second and third series, only slightly abbreviated, in which the author describes the various duties of the naval lieutenant and commander, the personal narrative being the framework, and his own experience in both capacities providing the details.
The editor has no hesitation in stating, after the careful perusal and analysis he has necessarily made of this work, and that, with a tolerably extensive knowledge of books, he knows of none which may, with more propriety, be placed in the hands of young men, whatever may be their destination in life; but more especially are they adapted for the use of young officers and all aspirants to a seaman’s life. The personal narrative, slight though it is, renders it very amusing, and every point the author makes inculcates a rigorous attention to “duty” duly tempered with discretion and humanity in commanding officers.
