Vanidad
After listening to the Yahoo! debates regarding Health Care in our country and the possibility of change--even the prospect of universal health care, I wrote a long political rant --and then just deleted the entire thing.
Sorry for dragging you down, friends, but it's all hopeless. Our system is every bit as corrupt as Nigeria's; it's just more clean-cut and preppy looking, with its' hair neatly parted on the side.
Our citizens are too busy watching tv and reading gossip mags to sort through the political rhetoric and vote for someone who might actually change things. So most people will vote for the person who looks most like he/she could be on West Wing or who's wife wears the cutest outfits. And change certainly won't come from Insurance or Pharmaceutical companies who have nothing to gain and everything to lose from a well-informed, rational-minded citizenry. Are you kidding? There's lots and lots of money to be made from ignorance. LOTS. WAY more than to be made from mandating universal health care (listen to John Edwards on this issue).
And I'm not even partisan. All about the issues. All about not mixing up the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Man (must read: 'Myth of a Christian Nation').
Vanidad, vanidad. Todo es vanidad.

Molls--why are you anonymous?
After living in DK, this is one issue that I can get behind. It's such a huge issue with many conflicting sides that are hard to sort out. For something to change things I think we'd need to completely wipe out the existing system and start over.
I just hadn't logged in so...that's why.
