I think what has happened from Obama on down with the Dems is that they have forgotten that if they demand the middle-class pay what the insurance companies want we the citizens don't have any one to bail us out like they do. We would have had that with the "public option" but not now.Also, this country remains "pro choice" and not all women with a pregnancy that they cannot mange to support have wealthy lovers, husbands, fathers,etc to fly them away tomorrow to a country where they can get the medical care that they need and deserve.
I wrote this for my beloved Starlight News but it is alas purely political as Mars prepares to turn retrograde for two and a half months in Leo!! I know that the bill will not pass at this point (healthcare coverage change)and I blame Obama and Rahm Emmanuel for this-they are so accustomed to being protected that they don't realize how hideous this bill is or at the very least they don't know what it is like to have no net beneath one-they are coddled and protected all the way by the "Masters of the Universe" protect them as long as they do what they are sent to do.
Went to Judy's for a cocktail party!! Little nibbles and eggnog,etc. I pushed to leave early not wanting to sit around and try to talk politics with my dear friend when she is tired and grouchy. she loves Chris Matthews who sometimes agrees with my understanding but mostly is simply an insider who takes the "party" line and this time as so often I am in rebellion.
Wonderful front page article confirming what we "liberals" have tried to explain for years: use of drugs and alcohol among the young is way down and stying down but ,horrors of horrors, the young ones no longer consider drugs the biggest evil in the world. EXACTLY you money grubbing, Puritanical lawmakers who insist that marijuana is the same as heroin, who believe that anyone involved with drugs is a felon and should die in prison. We have always understood that if people are informed and free they will in the huge majority choose not to live stoned-period. There is no need at all to lie, no need at all to spend our treasure fighting the "war on drugs". Well you know the Authorities are very upset that the young people are not upset. Imagine how much money there would be for jobs, housing .medical care if we weren't fighting that "war on drugs".
I salute Pluto as he enters Capricorn!! Hello!! These fat cats our, modern nobility, deserve to have their royal butts kicked. Truly it is time to tear the rotten things down and leave the healthy things.
