A world of 'We'.......

[marmar]

......Will we ever get there?


Michael Moore, from 'SiCKO':

......in the end, we truly are all in the same boat. And that now matter what our differences, we sink or swim together. That's how it seems to be everywhere else. They take care of each other, no matter what their disagreements. You know, when we see a good idea from another country, we grab it. If they build a better car, we drive it. If they make a better wine, we drink it. So if they've come up with a better way to treat the sick, to teach their kids, to take care of their babies, to simply be good to each other, then what's our problem? Why can't we do that? They live in a world of 'we', not 'me'. We'll never fix anything until we get that one basic thing right. And powerful forces hope that we never do. And that we remain the only country in the western world without free, universal health care. You know, if we ever did remove the chokehold of medical bills, college loans, daycare, and everything else that makes us afraid to step out of line, well, watch out. Cause it will be a new day in America.

1. As long as sociopaths have power, no we won't

And I don't see that changing any time soon, unfortunately.

2. It's a lie: "we sink or swim together..." Anybody who wears the Old English D knows it's a lie.

NYC, LA, Atlanta, etc. can do just fine while Detroit drowns. :hi:

3. I don't think LA (near bankruptcy), Atlanta or New York are doing 'just fine' right now.....

4. Of course, most of the people in those cities aren't doing fine...

It's just the filthy rich.
