It sounds like a great idea to get money out of politics.  Can we find a way to get politics out of our lives.  In this 21st Century, can't we find something that works?  This internet is a very cool communication tool.  Though I've felt OWS-Empire's-Territory broiling inside of us for years, with people in all of my travels being sick and tired of being regulated to death.  It would be great to have a real life where we can laugh, Rock and Roll and dance, without having all of our currant day distractions.  Why should we settle for less?

''When most people talk about health care, they're actually talking about access to health care - not the actual care itself. If the care you get is crap, fighting over access to it seems rather crazy. Access to the treatment you want, is different than access to the treatments available. When a for-profit corporation provides access only to the treatment they decide is good for their shareholders, and refuses to provide access to the kind of treatment you and your doctor decide is beneficial to you, it makes you wonder if you're actually getting health care at all. Life and death health decisions are now in the hands of government bureaucrats and corporate bean counters instead of doctors and patients. Financial rewards for doctors and health care professionals who go along with this are well documented while real doctors who provide real health care are discredited and ridiculed on supposedly informed websites like 'quack watch' funded and supported by corporate interests. You will not hear any serious discussion on this subject on any major media outlet, because even NPR and other supposedly 'good' reliable sources of information are afraid they will lose fortunes and therefore their ability to do the other good work they do. No wonder Americans are angered. I know I am.​''-Arlo Guthrie
