Maybe a light at the end of the tunnel?

Well, now that the USA & Russia are coming to some terms on the nuclear crap, and Congress has passed Health Care, maybe we can start looking at more peaceful ways to live with each other. 
I cannot believe the violence that has occurred since health care passed.  You'd think we were all just forced to give up our lives or something.  What is wrong with people?  I am really frightened by the amount of sheep out there that just believe everything Faux News and the GOP leadership tell them without doing any research what so ever.  Or the ones that do research, but only look at one side and don't see the whole picture.
Yes, this health care reform bill has flaws.  Heck, I wanted universal single payor insurance.  I want the heath insurance industry to go non-profit.  But we can't have everything we want in this world.  And you don't see me throwing bricks through their offices windows or waving ridiculously contritictory signs around.
These people don't even know what Socialism or Facism is, or that they are the opposite of each other when you get right down to it.  Do we really want to be run by corporations?  Ask your grandparents what it was like to work in a Company town.  Three or four huge corporations does not make Capitalism.  There is no competition there.  They just put their heads together & raise all the prices so they can all make huge profits.  Hmmm, sound familiar...  Oil companies anyone??
So, I'm beginning to ramble.  I hope I did ok for my first blog.  I intend to get better at it.  I just really needed a place to share my thoughts on all that's going on in the world.  And, I welcome ANY comments you would want to make.
