And Tweety was talking about America's socialization of health care costs, when he said it. --> "Change History!"
Tweety isn't wrong.
I'm an OG that was a Kid Radical with Ron Dellums, back when Ron proferred the first Comprehensive Health Control bill in Congress.
Trust me: There is one thing that all of us have to turn our attention to, right now, and that is keeping a "Public Option" in health care.
Damnation: we've followed Harry Truman's leadership on bringing to a close the Civil War's racial divide. We've knitted together a Continent with our common language and accent with Mass Media. It's now time that we can, and MUST accept our National Burden, and accept that we're all, together, responsible for our neighbor, and help pay for all of our -- each other's -- doctor-care.
The time is now, after two- or three generations, and We can do this, finally.
The time is NOW! BETWEEN JUNE 8TH AND OCTOBER 14TH we can make a Harry Truman-multi-generational-"moment" happen.
"Eyes on the prize," y'know.
