This evening's topic is Universal Health Care. As I lay at rest, early in the morning, I often hear on the radio or television the cries from the outraged religio-patriot, right-wing, ADHD, hypocrites, that if the United States adopts a system of Universal Health Care this society will collapse for many reasons. The first, and most important is that the very concept of Universal Health Care comes straight from Mein Kampf or the Communist Manifesto. It's far more likely that Universal Health Care will evolve into something from Huxley's Brave New World, but I somehow doubt the Sarah Palins and Glen Becks of this world have spent much time reading literature.
Imbeciles often make brilliant comments, but always in the wrong context. I heard both Palin and Beck saying that should the government pass legislation for Universal Health Care, your granny will most assuredly be forced to the death camp. Cowards die many deaths. A brave man dies but once. There was a time when suicide was the means to avoid the dishonor of a cowardly, lengthly demise. My granny would have thrust a dagger through Palin's eye socket and given Mr. Beck a tasty hemlock soda if either of those slaves even tried to look at her without thrusting themselves prone in the dirt before her. The type of Universal Health Care Palin and Beck refer to was adopted by charismatic thugs, madmen, and eugenists who dreamed of an all Caucasian ruled world destined to last about a decade or so. It seems Palin and Beck long for a return to the days when Caucasian ideologues reigned.
Altruism was never one of humanity's strong points and I suspect Beck and Palin have lesser measures of the trait than most people.
If the government were able to implement a program which encompassed full health care to all citizens no matter who they are, what consequences would there be? Would there be a society of perfectly healthy beggars with pearly white teeth and the ability to procreate masses of healthy babies who would need to be supported by the government? Would humanity cease to exist without Universal Health Care? How many people care enough about their fellow man to fight for them?
There are vampires among us. They wear suits and carry brief cases. They lobby the media, the pastor, and the simpleton. Their weapon is money. These vampires will drain humanity of its resources, taking first their money, then their freedom and finally their ability to dream. I think I shall go out for a snack. Vale!
