Speaking for myself (and maybe you?) I am beyond angry - so far beyond angry I don't even know what to call it. But perhaps unlike you, I doubt very much the system we have now is fixable. It's a sad, pathetic charade; the desiccated, ghoulish remains of what used to be a semi-functional democracy (or a functional semi-democracy, depending on your viewpoint)She goes on to quote Joe Bageant and John Cory (quote is from the latter):
When a compassionate conservative says, "Healthcare reform is socialism," why not answer, "No, sir it is the moral and American way to care for people."(And the Four Tops and Boyz II Men, but I digress.)

Right now, though, my Muse (or whoever that is yelling "Get some fresh air, ya slob!" inside my head) is insistent that I take the camera and go get some pictures. So.
