35. It's the "I got mine, F you" mentality displayed in full regalia

Jun 2012

Actual discussions involving rational ideas have been tossed aside by most, replaced with propagandized responses they've been trained to have like Pavlovian dogs. It makes me feel like I have little in common with people anymore until I remember that 70% of Americans want single payer.

What we have here are a lot of political sycophants as it's a political site. The deceiving nature of that is it leads a person to believe there will be actual political discussion but it's really a lot more like Yahoo where people just shout in others faces about all the material goods they think they have.

So now they have for-profit health care and think they can afford it, this in a country that is so corrupt that we can't even hold torturers accountable for setting up torture camps.
