Pelosi condemns Obama’s continued raids on marijuana dispensaries

[patrice]

47. Very sorry about your nephew. We have had quite a bit of stuff like that in my family. And I worked

in long-term-care for 3 years, and have personally seen a total of 3 elders into the hereafter, so there are many stories, including things about how and why Single Payer WOULD alleviate a LOT of suffering and even programmed death amongst our elderly.

I agree with you in principle, but You and I are probably different in how each of us perceives **HOW** what can be done, at this point, can be done, about any of this and exactly HOW anything that can be done will or will not survive in the challenges of the future headed at this country, without an authentically aware and committed people's constituency underneath whatever those policies and programs turn out to be.

There's a difference between just doing something to get the political credit for doing it and doing it so that it actually survives politically and grows, especially during times of uncertainty and intense contextual changes.
