The big Health Care Bill passed.
I'm still against it.
Especially with all the "extra" things attached to it, that don't even RELATE to health care.
(What does college tuition and pell grants have to do with health care??????)
I'm against it.....but I am NOT going to make death threats about it.
I mean, come on.......DEATH THREATS? Threatening families just because you don't agree.
Well, hello people......here's a news flash for ya:
WE LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WE ARE ALLOWED TO DISAGREE WITHOUT THE FEAR OF REPRISALS!!!!!
Threats such as these are used by the Gestapo.....the SS.....the KGB....and other secret police of various third world nations. Also known as FASCISM.
Have we learned NOTHING from history? Or are we so infantile that we think bullying is the only way to get OUR way.
There is a system in place. If you don't like the way your guy votes....vote him out. Now, I recognize that someone can do an AWFUL lot of damage while he's in office, since elections are at prescribed times. But it CAN be reversed, if that's what the majority want and vote the other guys out.
If there's a flaw in democracy.....that has to be it. Otherwise it provides us with a way to let our voices be heard (in the pure and simple of it).
But that pure and simple of it......that's what we need to get back to.
Bills that discuss/promote/regard ONE thing......not with 15 additional things that have nothing to do with the original SUBJECT, let alone the bill.
Sometimes a great idea (on paper, at least) often is completely unworkable in the real world. I think the Health Care bill is in this section. I could be wrong; it will all come out eventually. Unfortunately, so mny have such a high stake in it, that they are likely to go way out of their way to prevent us from seeing it.
I really do think everyone should see the movie: "V for Vendetta". It's corny, but there are a lot of little kernels of truth in it.
