4. In my hoarse and weakened voice- Health care... health ... care....

It really is about mental health, physical health, economic equality, women's rights, and a zillion other things, which all relate back to emotional, mental health.

Unhealthy minds gerimander to make us lose the House even though we had more votes. Unhealthy minds kill health care. Unhealthy minds invaded Iraq. Unhealthy minds need money to make up for their unhealthy minds, comprising most of that 1% we keep mentioning. Unhealthy emotional people try to limit clinics for women's reproductive care.

I've said for years that we should have an emotions denominator below which a politician should not be allowed to run for office. A sort of "You must be this emotionally healthy to run for office" sign.

I don't see any of the things that are causing us grief as coming from anything other than this one issue of mental health.

Poor mental health doesn't mean you're lying in a gutter with a bottle of beer. It's like tuning up an F1 car. Let's aim higher. Let's see how good and healthy a nation we can create.

Fuck the military spending, and let's focus on health.

Ok, I'm starting to sound like that old man with a front lawn.
