    To retaliate in kind would do nothing but intensify the existence of hate in the universe. Along the way of life, someone must have sense enough, and morality enough, to cut off the chain of hate. ~~ MLK

    The problem with our socialist/communist workers' paradises where the government owns everything and assures that everything is fair and everyone is provided for, is that they always seem to involve heavily fortified border crossings with machine guns and barbed wire to keep their citizens from escaping to somewhere else where there is freedom of choice and opportunity. As a system, in theory, it works, but it is not what human beings really need to prosper and be at peace.

    Congress is part of the corporatist oligarchy so why would they do such a thing?

    Because it would be the right thing to do?

    Are you talking about health care decisions or reproductive decisions ?

    Or are you saying that they are one and the same ?
