There is something fishy about all this...

These protests have been the talk of the summer (and now the fall as well) in the US and A. They don´t necessarily seem to be going away either. Fox News and their make out buddies (you know who you are) take the approach that this is the voice of the "normal" American speaking out against his country being stolen out from him by fill-in-the-blank a. african-born unconstitutional leader b. marxist c. socialist d. fascist e. hitler f. stalin. g. mao h. all of the above. Just what exactly has he done so far to merit any of these empty phrases being thrown at him? I am not so sure really.

Health care. Its a debacle in the US and there is really no ignoring that. If the republicans manage to block this bill and/or water it down as they are hoping to do, we will be facing another long drawn out period of waiting for Americans to get tired of being taken advantage of by big corporations who reap profits off them being sick. That in itself is sick enough to merit change. Does anyone really truly deep down believe that capitalism will solve its own problems? It hasn´t been able to so far in history so why would that change this time?
