Privatizing "health care is bad enough?"
I'd love to tell you 'bite me,' but I'm too worried about the cost of the tetanus shot.

To characterize the US government's recent involvement with banking and auto companies as a "take-over" is inaccurate. Further, you seem to forget the government's original relationship with Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae, which began decades ago.

You claim Obama's administration is "looking to outlaw private health care insurance." I'm not sure where you get that impression. Neither of the health care bills in the House and the Senate would make private insurance business an illegal activity.

Your argument, as far as I can tell, is this: The government is involved in some influential way in three very big, for-profit industries (banking, autos, health care), and therefore this is proof that the Obama administration seeks to eliminate the private sector from these and other large for-profit industries. While the government does hold a majority stake in several companies, it has not eliminated the private sector from any industry. Like you, I'm unhappy to be an unwilling owner of GM stock, but I'm pleased that this has allowed them to reorganize. Now, at least, there's the possibility that GM will take the stock off of taxpayers hands. We may even make a profit.

We haven't seen any hard evidence that the Obama administration plans to "take over" the major industries. Such doomsday speculation is unreasonable, unhelpful, and counterproductive.

What makes a country powerful is not its arms but its own people. Two area's any strong government should provide its people to excel and exceed above others, Health and Education. Why did it take the US government this long to begin the discussion of affordable higher education and health insurance?
Foreign student can afford to study at the best universities we have, when our kids can't afford it and their parents don't have the means to help them. Then we complain of why non US citizens are taking the higher paying jobs in and out of USA. We all know that to have skilled workers we need to provide them with affordable education and training. Can some one tell me what is the mean of college education tuition for the undergrad these days, in a four years university?

If all of you have money saved for your children to attend a four years college in one of the best schools in USA, without graduating with a large some of students loans, with at least an 8% fixed interest rate, I don't, and many other parents I know of are in the same situation as mine.
Yes, it is time to act by supporting a health and education systems reform.

Comment on Can Twitter Fuel a Revolution?

Twitter is not the symbol, but the means to advance a cause --- a modern day 'underground railroad' or resistance network of WWII, Twitter will let voices of the oppressed be heard. I believe we have only begun to see its influence.
