As you know, I'm distressed at some of what I regard as timidity on Obama's part. I don't believe that dilly-dallying is really going to help matters substantially. <BR/><BR/>Just as one example, I cringe at whatever health care solution is going to be devised because hospitals and insurance companies are still going to be the biggest players. It's perfectly obvious that single-payer system is the only way to go. That's certainly not what we're going to get. <BR/><BR/>We're entering a new world. It's not going to look like the old one; only problem is most people don't know this yet.<BR/><BR/>On second thought, we'd never get anything done running the country because we'd be assassinated straightaway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111660094586126379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184575347466163757.post-78640615255452362992009-03-18T16:41:00.000-05:002009-03-18T16:41:00.000-05:00Something like 15 years ago, I saw a documentary o...Something like 15 years ago, I saw a documentary on the UK's attempt at legalizating drugs, controling the distribution, seeing that addicts were on record and did not do things which added to the health costs of the nation, etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>I was astounded, and I became an immediate proponent. <BR/>When we speak of sending oil money out of the country, we never stop and think of the transfer of money to the worst examples of humanity: drug lords. <BR/><BR/>Now, how deep are the people who run this country in cahoots with the billions from the drug trade?<BR/><BR/>Don't know, but the British Empire was funded on slavery and opium for a long while.Montaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017648070522030951noreply@blogger.com
