There, I said it.<br /><br /><br />And I am glad you did. 15% is a good estimate for the combinbed size of the fringe elements of the right... not enough to win the big fight, but certainly enough to make it a hard one. The also exposed something that is for me a universal truth in this world, that racial entitlement hasn't gone anywhere and is even more a problem in worldwide society.<br /><br />I wonder why it has been such a problem establishing health care in this country... especially when you consider that the industrialized world grants what to me, is a fundamental right. Because as I write this, the consideration that class, not simply ethnicity, plays a part as well.<br /><br />Americans believe in a myth that we look out for each other and that isn't exactly true. Our diffuse natures lead to easier to manipulate groups and predictible conclusions.<br /><br />I remember being a child in Detroit and being astonished that there were different kinds of 'white people'. You had pollacks, micks, wops and wasps, not to mention trailer trash. So that is why I think the long held but unspoken intracene problems are also at root of this. <br /><br />People have problems helping other people, period. A lot can be lightning rodded at the feet of non-whites (especially since there will soon be more people of color here than those that lack pigment), but I think that a deeper, basic, almost DNA deep, lack of regard for other humans is related to the problem with getting national health care here in America.Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12869083.post-6844011344189820792010-03-22T14:48:19.329-05:002010-03-22T14:48:19.329-05:00This is why I love America.
