Now that the nation is committed to Socialism, thanks to the newly-passed health care bill, I thought I’d post just one or two thoughts about the “conversation” going on about health care reform before our totalitarian overlords enslave us all with their mind control rays. It’s a virtual conversation because I can’t actually scream in your face or spit on you, the way most of the “conversation” has been carried on. Send me your address in e-mail and I’ll make up for it one day, if you like.

Can I just say first of all that it’s pretty creepy the way members of congress can read my disappointment, my concern, even my very thoughts? “The American People think this,” and “The American people want that.” It’s amazing. How do they do it? They’re a little indiscreet with broadcasting these thoughts on the radio and television every day, though. I kinda figured that was just something between us.

Considering how well they know my own thoughts, it’s more than a tiny bit alarming they don’t seem to realize they’re part of the government. “The government should have no part in health care reform,” I heard a member of congress say yesterday, speaking as if “the government” were some ravenous, fanged beast he was gallantly fighting saving us from. Then he went on to outline his plan to reform health care.
