Holocaust or an Apocalypse its still 45,000 unnecessary dead Americans
In regards to a great American Congressional Representative's statement.

I've heard both terms to describe forlorn relationships, lack of funds, genocide and generally really fucked up things that makes us lose or humanity.

I think that he being Jewish used Holocaust where I would have said it was an
Apocalypse to describe the insanity. However, even that term is loaded,
to the 'righteous Christian crowd, but it still
discribes 45,000 unnecessary deaths a year
being called up because they don't have insurance or healthcare........ irony

Either term is fair game, on a spiritual, political and logical level.
..... OK.... end of rant.

Check out that guys background........ whoa,...... he would have died as child
without cheap medical help........then him working his way through Harvard as a
janitor..... People ....... he's the real deal.

1. He's Jewish?
Didn't know that and wouldn't have guessed.

I notice your TV talking heads don't mention that.

It doesn't really matter in the end does it?

It's still 45,000 that die every year, because of lack of health care and insurance.


That figure wipes out half of the western slope in Colorado every year.

Most of those have families, jobs, paid taxes and have been good citizens
and they are dead now

4. True - Fox news is stuck on the word used, but doesn't mention the figures
The controversy should be over the number of dead but right wingers as usual don't want to discuss facts.

5. Fox..... is the least of your problems
They are already a joke, but the rest of the MSM brings is
terribly dishonest and the most dangerous for the marginal critical thinking people
who need to know and want the truth, but don't know where to look on the reality of these deaths.


The media is estranging these stories
or trivializing them into a 10 second sound or video bite,
where the viewer is left with numbness until the next drug commercial.

6. What horrifying word should we call it
to make people see the seriousness of this? If Holocaust and Apocalypse are off limits

Mission accomplished, it did bring attention to the collective amnesia this country suffers...45 thousand people are dying each and every year because they were found unworthy, not enough income.

7.  A TRAVESTY doesn't describe it
Edited on Thu Oct-01-09 03:29 PM by Ichingcarpenter
This is the size of small towns every year, which I have seen disappear
from corporate and republican programs.

This is my only Roman Polanski reference or integration into a thread or site....
the piano.........left millions thinking..... he's still was a cad back then, but that film
should leave any rational human thinking on why he made that.


Sharon Tate would have been a goddess in the movies for years and he knew that.

But I wonder if they had HEALTHCARE?
