Well, Barack Obama did it, he passed healthcare, sort of. The bill that the US Congress passed on Sunday is far from Universal Healthcare, in fact it’s far from something that will eliminate the for-profit motive in a system that should in no way be profit-driven.

A prize for talking

Posted by Jason in Commentary, News, Politics on October 11, 2009

Now this may be a dumb question, but how can someone who is currently running two wars win a prize for peace? It seems to me that not being actively involved in the administration of warfare and ultimately responsible for a conflict continuing should be one of the requirements for being recognized as a person of peace. Call me a purist, but that’s just how I see it.
