Last November, America said a resounding NO to Republican ideas and a full-throated YES to change, including a new and sensible health care system. By what tortured logic, then, is the committee drafting new health legislation composed of an EQUAL number of Democrats and Republicans?
What kind of dysfunctional democracy do we have when the shape of that legislation rests in the hands of six senators from some of the smallest states in the Union? When passage of this vital measure is in the hands of just ONE of those senators — Republican Olympia Snowe of Maine – OLYMPIA SNOWE, for God’s sake!
No wonder Americans are taking to the streets. What’s puzzling is why even more of us aren’t storming the barricades to protest this insult to our intelligence and the violation of our public will.
Lord knows we need to reform our broken health care system. But to put the task in the hands of senators who are beholden to the very institutions we’re trying to reform is both futile and idiotic.
There will be no reform of this or any other aspect of our society until there is federal funding of all elections and we have removed the corrupting influence of campaign contributions from our political life.
maybe my comment is not related to this topic, but I have to say it:
Can’t you see what is happening to women in Bahrain?
Where are so many organizations and conventions that claim supporting women? What are they doing? Maybe they are just responsible for some special cases in favor of western policies?! Where are your good slogans like: Human rights, democracy and freedom of speech? How can you be so irresponsible? Why the US government and the media in this country kept silent about terrible crimes happening in Bahrain, while sometimes for non-important things, they keep exagerating, trying to make it sound important? The fact is that the US goverment and its allies only think about their own benefits. Human rights and so on ain’t important to them at all. The US government is doing everything to maintain the existance of zionist regime, but is not aware that the time for oppressing people has passed and a new middle east is being formed, by what has been learnt from 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran.
Now I’m talking to those claimants of human rights all over the world who haven’t become awake yet: I’m just wondering how can you be so irresponsible against so many crimes in Bahrain and what is being done to Bahraini women? How can you keep silent and not to even object about it?
We can see demonstrations against the oppressors every day in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, and many Islamic societies. But they’re not enough. Now it’s time for all the people of the world to be awakened.
The least expectation from the people of the whole world (Asians, Europeans Americans, etc.) is to demonstrate against such oppressions and show their objections, not just be indifferent and stay silent while such anti-human actions are being done in Bahrain.
When alive ,we may probably offend some people.However, we must think about whether they are deserved offended.
