The System Has Failed: Prologue

The System Has Failed

It has now been one year since the mid-term elections and now the Presidential elections are about a year away. A year ago the Democrats gained a bare majority of Congress but still the war goes on. Even worse a new war is on the horizon—a war that we cannot and will not win. We might as well all start learning Farsi now…

For a while politicians denied that they wanted war with Iran. These same denials were made before going to war with Iraq. Recently a non-binding resolution was passed to declare a part of the Iranian government a terrorist organization. We have thrown the proverbial spear into the foreign soil. The first step toward the coming war with Iran was taken.

We can’t even handle the current war. We have hired mercenaries to help us. We are allowing private armies to be amassed in our wars and even worse we are allowing these private armies to be on our own soil. How many of you know that Blackwater was in New Orleans after Katrina? We are allowing torture so long as we can call it something else. We have suspended constitutional rights suspended at one point with the Military Commissions Act. Our President and our Congress have approval ratings so low it is almost unbelievable. Turkey, one of our most important allies in the war on terror recalled the ambassador to the US because of a recent non-binding resolution in congress.

At this very moment the United States of America has no universal health care system. Approximately 50% of those filing bankruptcy were because of health care expenses. Approximately 75% of those HAD HEALTH INSURANCE. Why is that? It’s because we allow corporations to dictate our health care and NOT doctors or patients. We need a system where doctors and patients are not the ones in charge and NOT insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital boards.

We have sold our country to corporations. Our politicians are bought and sold by lobbyists.

I’m tired. This is only a first draft—a prologue if you will. But I will leave with a quote from Dave Mustaine: “If theres a new way, Ill be the first in line. But, it better work this time.”
