Soon enough in time, we will accept what will be dealt us in health care legislation.

I for one do not think that every aspect of American life has to be run first through a corporate boardroom and then through a corporate bank account. I do not call that "free enterprise". I call anyone being able to start a business and have less obstacles in that path free enterprise and the Senate health care bill will not help that in the long run because it doesn't contain costs in the long run. It will not help ease the financial burden on my family that I can tell. I'm neither rich nor poor enough. I will still be praying for 65 in time before it is privatized and taken away from me. They call this country the land of the free and the land of opportunity, but someone else always has the power to determine what that is for the citizens of the United States and exactly how much. And that is where this country falls short because of the lack of imagination of the possibilites and the fear of some generated through current ideological currents. All that is left is that we continue the fight for a just society that lives up to the rhetoric we are constantly fed. In the end, that is all we can do or sit back and merely ride the train that is someone else's dream of utopia.

1. Of course we'll accept it. WTF can we do about it?

Wait for the next election. Or the one after that. Democracy in America is dead.

2. I'm not sure it can be remedied by election. It will have to be an organic

movement by the people at this point. That could take many, many years if it is to come unless people are finally angry enough.
