More than anything, I'm starting to feel useless, or at least this struggle is useless.
I just watched "Sicko," Michael Moore's new film, and I know that if every alleged American was forced to watch that film, still, none of us would be in the streets. I could get out there myself. I could carry a sign no one would read or really give a shit about.
But, you know what, I've lowered my expectations so low as to know that at times...OK, most of the time, it will only be me. Now, of course, Rhonda would be by my crazy side should I choose to do something stupid that would not change anything. So...Two. And it's been that way before. I've been doing this work for 12 years.
Sicko showed that the U.S. health care system is not only unhealthy, but, like I've always suspected, killing numerous women, children, elders. That's right. It is DELIBERATELY committing murder so the bottom line can be bigger for the folks at the top. They ultra elite.
Shit, right now there are U.S. soldiers in Iraq killing men women and children so the ultra elite can get their hands on that oil wealth.
How does one stop this crazy fucking shit? I have pretty much surrendered to the fact that folks in this nation ain't gonna do a thing until the collapse.
People are suffering, dying, being murdered, right here in front of our faces. It's called Health Maintenance Organizations. Not to mention the police, environmental destruction, poisoning our air and water, poisoning our land base, etc.
What does it take to get the masses to stand up and fight? What does it take to get them in the street and scare the fuck out of the CEO's? I have no idea anymore. But I ain't gonna stop writing, either.
