We will have to really reduce our dependency on Wall street and Big Pharm as well as the insurance companies who cover nothing but their own fat wallets, among the corporate monopolies we have allowed to thrive since BILL CLINTON, if we are going to take back democracy and thwart the plutocracy Aristotle warned us democracies degenerate into, without citizen vigilance and cultural competancy in democratic enculturation.

This could turn into a serious setback. I'm not really surprised. After all, they appointed our last president. No, the tiny minority of small minded people won't derail healthcare reform. Because we won't let them. And we can't let them steal or buy another election. It is not going to be easy to take back our country. It's going to be a long, hard slog. But together, we can!
