On Second Thought — A Correction
November 20th, 2009 | 
Author: After a little thought I realized my last post wrongly blamed just Republicans. I even lowered myself to using their tactics by calling them names, i.e. collectively 'Repugs,' and in the specific cases of Prejean and Palin, 'morons.'
I suppose my first instinct was correct, that you guys probably don't want to read all about my wonder and shock and disgust in the first place, but I can't say I'll never do it again because I care, and I do get disgusted sometimes and let things slip; but I should've been at least fair enough to acknowledge that conservative (faux) Democrats are much of the problem, too, when it comes to getting anything worthwhile out of this health care "reform" effort.
I guess I just don't believe in it. I want to, but I just don't. To me, after having voted for Obama, after having promoted health care reform in various ways, what has happened merely clarifies just how corrupted and corporatized our system has become. It looks to me like the will of the people is not even a contender in the contest to run this country anymore, and when so many seem incapable of separating fact from fiction, and allow so many of the decisions that affect all our lives to be made in the dark, or behind closed doors, and so rarely hold the liars and criminals and corrupted political leaders to account even when they are caught red handed, well, maybe the people's will shouldn't be influential.
I suppose we all can hope that we can somehow continue to escape into fantasy indefinitely… but in actuality, I think we all know we can't, and if this means we'll have the corporations in charge from now on… well, let's just say Anya's altered reality of Cordelia's world without Buffy may actually look attractive one day by comparison.
That's right. I'm saying, if this is how things are going to be from now on, sooner or later, it will end badly. Very. For all of us.
But hopefully I'm just being way too negative. If you haven't figured it out yet, let me clue you in: I'm kind of a moody guy.
Back to the original intent of this post — mea culpa folks. Next time out, I'll try to talk more about Buffy.

Your not wrong – P&P R morons & the conservadems R stupidd = all of them are = & the Repugs R that too.
What nobody seems to understand any more is that you have to take to the screets and scare oikuticans into doing the righ thing! Women had to do it. unions had to do it. Blacks had to do it. Otherwise the powers that be don’t reaally budge. They just put on a show.
