There is no such thing as unalienable rights. They are simply cultural constructs to problems of the time. That’s all, we make them up. Our documents are just paper proclamations of this and language is always subject to interpretation, always. Humans make it up as the go along. Always have and always will.
As the Right continues to blabber about a mythical socialist takeover, private capital pulls all the strings. Bwahaaa… Keep chasing socialist ghosts guys. They are turning into those people that sees jesus in cheese sandwiches. Like Obama was out at the docks with factory workers planning a populist uprising when his campaign was receiving checks from GS and their ilk. haha
If you have not guessed it by now. The country has not changed between GW and Obama. If Sarah Palin, Dennis Kucinich, or Britney Spears were president, the system that the president pretends to run would still be bailing out banks and insurance companies, escalating wars, hiding atrocities, and generally chugging along to its ruin. The suicidal inertia is too great at this point.
Ironically, it’s paralyzing and self-destructive non-change that rules with an iron fist. The political left just mixes it up with some perceived goodies to keep the unwashed in check, ONLY if it benefits the corporatocracy that runs the show.
Health care is a good intention on a dead and rotting system that has been configured to enrich a few and not really change anything. Which is the only way it would pass.
This thing does not go into effect until, 2013. By that time I would be surprised if anyone in washington answers their phones. haha
One of these days real “change” is going to vomit all over the whole establishment.
Oh look, insurance stocks are up. Well, Mr Market is always right, so it must be good….
