Because they need it, now more than ever. I’ve been following the health-care debate, more or less, more so, I’ve been mesmerized by the stupidity that seems to come along with protest in the U.S. We’ve seen people wearing M-15′s at several protests, because they have the ‘right to bare arms’, we’ve seen people do nothing but shout at each other, people, I might add, who were forced by their employers (dutch), we’ve seen (of course) Fox send some of her puppets on he subject, of which the most interesting one was;

This is all public debate, which we can settle down on and say, well, it’s a hot issue, governmental participation in health-care, in the U.S. it is anyway. That doesn’t mean one ought to disrupt and try to destroy the entire debate by stating such absolute horse-shit (excuse my french), but we’ve seen this before. In Europe we’ve decided some time ago that it might not be a bad idea if (close to) everyone would have a health-care plan. But let’s be honest, and understand that, with media-outlets such as Fox we can count on some less subtle (or blatantly stupid) debates. So it goes.

But what has seriously hit my face with a metal plate was the following video;

I mean, is this the country that ought to be in charge (because they are) of the economical reform of our international finance structure? The stupidity of the news-outlets, OK, of the people perhaps, OK, actually no, that’s not OK, in a ‘democratic’ country, but seriously, a senator, are you $%^&* kidding me?! I cannot believe this, really, how can you, being an American citizen, not get up and kick off some sort of revolution? How can you sit there and think, well, what would you think?! I’d get my bags and leave the country. I’m seriously mind-boggled. I have some U.S. based friends, and talking to them didn’t make me wiser, the acceptance, or in-ability to care, is something I can’t understand.

The day before Obama’s speech on health-care something else happened.

Van Jones, the country’s ‘Green Energy’ reformer has decided to step down from his post after continuous allegations of him being a ‘communist’. Oh, and he signed a petition which suggested that 9/11 was ‘an inside job’. First of all, I thought they’d passed the ‘communist’ thing some time ago and moved towards socialist-allocations. But OK. Next to that, if you’d look at the success of documentaries that suggest ‘the ugly possibility’ of 9/11 one could argue it is an opinion shared by a good majority of the people in the Western World. Taking into account the tactics employed during, and after the 9/11 reports, one cannot conclude otherwise than that the U.S. government was not very eager to reveal ‘the whole truth and nothing but the truth’. ( Here ‘Beck’s report on ‘revealing’ Van Jones please note the use of linguistics and way the video is build-up, oh also, both Marx and Lenin’s thought are mandatory part of Dutch History course)

It’s a sad time in the political sphere of the Western World, with extremist politicians standing up all over the spectrum, an increasing poverty of quality in media and duality increasing on a daily basis. I hope everyone will understand my (quickly) written plead for contemplation.

Peace and Love.
