"My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it."
The Complete Eulogy for Robert
While we bicker and mourn over Ted Kennedy's Legacy time marches on. In Senator Kennedy's Honor we should name the Health Care Bill after him and pass it with a strong public option. Anything less than that is contemptible.
The insurance companies and their AstroTurf minions have done nothing to advance our culture, society or our country. In lieu of what the Kennedy family has sacrificed in service and blood they should be ashamed of themselves. Shame is not something they know and they behave like sociopaths.
You can't stop progress even as much as the status quo fear mongers. The insurance companies complete portfolio nationally and world wide is based on fear. What if you die, what if you get in a car wreck, what if you get sick, what if your house gets flooded or burns down, fear, fear, fear. There is nothing honorable in their business model. Give us your money and we will insure you against those fears but only those of you of low risk wink, wink. And so our pedestrian leaders and their sociopath corporate allies give money to each other back and forth and use fear to manipulate a population that pro ports to believe in God and have great faith.
Well where is that faith today? They are consumed by fear, carrying weapons, shouting, angry, and still impotent in the face of it all. Yet time marches on and quietly not in the loud throngs at the public square posing for the sycophant television cameras, and not in the backroom dealings of our Capital.
That faith is in the progressives and leaders and utopians, and liberals and those that serve each other and their Country, the activists who really care, the thought leaders, the entrepreneurs, the little guys and the big dogs smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall.
Here is what they are up to this week:
