EMK and Health Care Reform

25% of people on CNN voted Ted Kennedy as the Most Influential Kennedy brother. I'd like to find those roughly 15000 people and break their hands. JFK was voted 67% and RFK only 8%? It's obvious that the readers of CNN aren't very impa...ssioned about their history. It's a shame to see a nation jumping on the bandwagon of a Senator who I will admit did some great things in his life (apartheid, the IRA, fair pay) but was also a huge failure both (and more importantly) in politics and life. We mourn the loss of a human life, but we must also look in retrospect with cold eyes.

I see people scrambling and worrying about health care reform now that EMK is dead. I find it pathetic and appalling to hear that fellow Americans are pushing this Health Care Reform plan to be passed just for the sake of reforming health care, and nothing else. We know the system is flawed, and in some aspects seriously, but when the government ... Read Morerushes to pass legislation that pulls on the heartstrings of emotional citizens (who literally have no clue what is included in the plan) then fatal mistakes are made. Americans are urged to play an active role in deciding the future of our country. That means we read legislation and keep our elected officials in check, not blindly follow them off into the desert because they've assured us the promised land. Don't be stupid. We've seen socialized health care fail miserably around the world. Get off of your 'holier than thou' pedestal and wade through the health care reform bill instead of paddling down shit creek with your nose in the air.
