Default OT - when politics gets personal

Nice post Wayne. When I read of the healthcare "reform" that came out
of the Senate, my thought is usually "the Republicans couldn't have

One is tempted to say "You've got to be joking!" One is not given to
caving easily to temptation.

Complete corporate giveaway with
no real reform.


Surprise!

Unfortunately we DO need reform


No. Reform might have been a good idea a century ago, but it's WAY
too late for that now.

but I doubt the
current crop of politicians has ANY ability to even come close to real
reform.


Well, that's pretty much a natural outcome of the current electorate's
lack of ability to recognize, let alone confront, reality, ainna?

Now the SCOTUS has decided corporations are people with
inalienable rights,


Now?! You think this is some sort of recent innovation? Have you
ever even SEEN the inside of an institution of learning.....at
whatever level?

so we're in a death spiral right now.


Nope. We reached the bottom of that before you were born. You've got
a lot of catching up to do.

IMO a real
voter revolt against the two parties is the only thing that will solve
it.




Are we capable of that?


Well, with you leading the way.....

I don't know.


Ah! A grain of truth.

Jon.


Guessed that.

giles
go ahead.....reread what you wrote......tell us if you think you
actually said something or other.
