Bipartisan Compromise
I'm glad that the kind of politicians who inhabit our capital today were not around at this country's founding.

One thing is "right to live" and other thing is "immortality". "Right to live" can be understood as the right of one person to not to be intentionally killed by anyone. But it can also be understood as the duty of everyone to keep as many number of people alive. The definition of the "right to live" depends largely of the cost of keeping people alive. If the cost is too much, a narrow definition of the "right to live" is prefered.
What makes you think they weren't around? Consider these six words from our constitution: "three fifths of all other Persons"
point.

The democrats seem to be arguing with themselves now.
Anyone who expects anything more from the Democrats on health care then they've delivered over the past three decades is a deluded fool. They are as much of an an obstacle to universal care as the Republicans, they just put a smiley face on their treachery. There will be no movement until we strip the fuckers of their cushy taxpayer-funded health plans -- and probably not even then, since the graft they receive from the medical industrial complex is more than enough to buy the care denied to the people they allegedly work for.
J.P., you took the text right from under my fingers. Oh, and that whole thing about this nation's founders being slave owners ;)
Hopefully they won't be there for the NEXT founding as well. Maybe we can get it right this time.
