Health Bill Compromise Kicks Off 5-Week Battle

Comrades--so pithy, so I don't have a clue, I'm so out of touch, have no idea what's going on comment. Like the seam of your rapidly unravelling reality construct.

Reader666, you could not have said it better. If you could have said it better, you probably would have-but you didn't, so that must have been the best you could do. I think NP has no idea how dumb and gullible you are. Oh, you already said that. Children should be seam and not herd.

Well, the former CEO of CIGNA explains very well why this is all going to be a mess. Nothing except a leap of evolution will allow those who care for no one but themselves to change. Altruism is a trait that ebbs and flows with how well it drives the species. When we were small bands even the mother who dropped the baby in the river didn't bother to pick it up if it meant a threat to her. That's just how it works. Until the beginning of the last century--there were no childhoods no soccer. These things came as we had the ability to deal with them without hurting the greater good. And I mean species not some abstract useless man-made word for political theory. Now we are at the other extreme--me, my, mine. When that goes away then people will start seeing others as viable and be willing to sacrifice for a good not their own. Until that time this is a huge political game where only we lose. The real word is altruism--a genetic trait and never a public mandate. That Obama is throwing himself on this sword proves his altruism outweighs his smarts. That's the problem with being young and traveling the world and seeing starving babies everywhere--you want to help. So your altruism becomes socialism in the eyes of every person who lacks your knowledge. So, please Mr. Obama accept your place and time and forget the noble cause for the present situation reality of what you could accomplish. Cause right now you're getting as self-destructive as my friend Mary who as a Freshman tried to bleach and perm her hair in the same day. Bald.
