Well kit I hear what you're saying but I cannot say I have been listening to it much. In fact ever since Bush was made president the first time I've been apathetic. This hate though reverberates through my layers of apathy. Even my beloved sister thinks we are going the socialist route. So I find a page that says out loud what my core beliefs are. I am reading it and agree. I think then maybe it's time to pay attention so I posted that link.

My gut instinct is to give health care to all but I need to read more first because I have only just began to pay attention. I have the white house’s fact sheet on health care reform and not because I am taking one source of information as gods truth. It is just a starting point for me.

So I can't say anything insightful or say anything with any kind of understanding because I don't really know what's going on here.
When I try to watch a little of the news, like this morning on Meet the Press all I see is everyone contradicting everyone else.

I do in my heart think we should go for it. I think if other countries can provide medical care so can we and why not adopt THOSE models?

I think people are seeing the devil in the details but I don't understand this. If we are bombing and invading countries we are patriotic. If we want to modernize a system we are socialists.
