HOLY CARP!!!

as a, "it will sound better to the population at large" type of marketing ploy to try to make socialism more palatable to the weak minded in our society? I think it is. Discuss... |

Words are weapons. The pen being so much mightier than the sword... Just one more way that the media continues being the tail to wag the dog, continues herding the sheeple, and keeping them blinded by illusion. |

Absolutely, this is politics. In fact, it's not universal, it's national. And to be even more precise, it's government health care. I dont know about you (well I do know about you, Mark), but the government takes 5 years and 50 billion dollars to build a bridge. The private sector takes 5 months and 5 billion. |

and you get a much better and safer bridge when the private sector builds it! |

Who's building the one that collapsed today? |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

ZOOOOOM!
|
So we should neglect all government funded programs and services just because the private sector knows how to build a decent bridge? Surely mark there's some services that government provides, which you benefit from, that you wouldn't want to turn over to the private sector? |

The army. The government does a pretty good job there. Still, now that I think of it--a private militia might have gotten things wrapped up in Iraq in a couple of months. Hmmm. I can't think of anything. |

Words, sound bytes, subtle shades of meaning... It's insidious and it is purposely manipulative. Just watch and keep watching. Really open your ears and keep your discernment sharp. It's really pretty amazing... After a while, you may find that you can't stomach watching the news on TV anymore. |
