brief thoughts on the passage of health care reform

These 2700 pages give the government power to control SO much of our lives. It is the death of the American Dream. Why should any generation to come have any goals and aspirations? All we have to do now is to find a government teet to latch onto.

Latch on, everybody! This'll be great!

America is no longer home of the free, more like the home of the "free-range". Oh, sure, we may have more elbow room than those chickens who are raised in nasty, cramped conditions, but we are still cooped and headed for slaughter.

Why does a health care reform bill contain stuff that has nothing to do with health care? Student loans, for example. Answer: It's all about Control. Power. Tyrrany. And, despite the squawk, smoke, and mirrors to the contrary, can it honestly be said that the government does not give money to Planned Parenthood? Therefore, the government DOES promote and fund abortions.

An overwhelming majority of Americans were against this thing, but inside the beltway bubble, apparently our elected can't quite hear the sounds of our voices. Oh sure, we can vote the bastards out of office. Just for fun, let's say in 2012 the pendulum swings and conservatives hold more seats....by 2014, when these health care changes are supposed to take place, the American people will just begin to feel the pain from the tightening of the screws, and because they have collective amnesia, they will think it is the fault of the conservatives and, like brainless amoebas, they will react and elect more liberals who will give the final ax-blow to the necks of anyone who can make a difference.

In a nutshell: Change - yes. Hope - no.
