"To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone -- to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink -- greetings!"
George Orwell, 1984

An argument for national health care
Nicolas Kristof, who I'm not always a fan of, has an excellent column on what this country desperately needs, a national health care system. Obama might be the man to get us at least closer to that promised land.
Like the character from Orwell's book, I feel I must write to spite our modern Big Brother era of dumbed down, conspicuous consumption driven masses and the government that has lashed the wheel of our cultural ship to this course.
