This massive distrust of our freely elected government in favor of for-profit companies is one of the more insane things I've ever seen. But it seems to be gaining ground. People marching in the streets to make sure their health care dollars are lining someone's pockets.

Ahhhh, yes, I'm with you, Eddie. "Unelected corporate oligarchs good, democratically elected officials bad." Does seem to be the emerging mantra, does it not? Some of us do seem to have developed an overriding concern that everything we do stuffs more money into the pockets of those who already have it, don't they, Ed?
