Daily Kos: State of the Nation Doublespeak edition

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Really odd stuff.

Well, yes, I have sometimes wondered about that. Why people who think it's cool to kill people and break things somehow think that healing people is actually evil. And they say it's evil to make other people pay for it -- but they don't object to making other people pay for bombing Baghdad or flattening Fallujah.

Once again, citing Gladwell's work, he concludes 'Who we are cannot be separated from where we're from'and when we ignore that fact, planes crash'', cultures clash, and individuals have difficulty adapting and
adopting, surviving and thriving in a society that pits their maternal culture against that of the country they live in.
"Thanks," Blade smiled, and turned back to his own rack, which was lined with an assortment of swords.

No two wedding traditions are alike on the continent of Africa.
