I've lived to see Civil Rights Laws enacted, an African-American President and now Health Care Reform.
:cry: for joy.
Thank you Senator Kennedy for fighting for Health Care your entire life.

1. I know exactly how you feel! |

Next stop (in 2016, I hope!) a woman for President!
And a new baby born in the White House for Michelle and Barrack Obama!

When the benefits of HCR kick in the Repukes will be banished to the wilderness for another 40 years. :)

2. Sometimes it is nice to have lived a long life, isn't it? |
|
We also lived to see Medicare passed - think of how similar the arguments against it were, even once it passed, people were making similar criticisms. I hope that this Health Care Reform will evolve the same way - to become what it really should be and really provide health CARE.

you're still 60 or so years behind the rest of the rich world, but you're getting there. pity ted missed seeing this by a matter of months. If anyone has a bottle of good Irish whiskey to hand, raise a glass.

A small child for Civil Rights, and never thought I'd see an AA President!
And to have the AA President in office when we got health care? Priceless!
