I'm disheartened that that is the best this country can do.......I disgusted with the Senate and our corporatocracy.....but grateful that we seem to being on the verge of a truly historic bill. <br /><br />unbelievable to be the ONLY industrialized nation not to pool our resources and give ourselves good deals on health care......unbelievable that so many believe that corporations should get their 20+% of our tax dollar.......oh well. so we have utility-like insurers.......and so, our next focus is before us. <br /><br />loved Howard Zinn's 'The People Speak'......we must be citizen activists for the elites will give up any rights/pittances to us. SO BE IT! sorry that my bubble of democracy has been broken, but at least I have the time and the energy to do what I can about it!<br /><br />You go, John, you say so elegantly what we all are thinking.......Gwennegaianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943952143185256875.post-76389145646198111232009-12-26T22:38:39.592-08:002009-12-26T22:38:39.592-08:00Well done John!
