YES WE CAN!
My sister emailed me and asked, “What’s up with your blog?” I guess I didn’t come across as happy yesterday. That wasn’t my intention. Let me explain.
No, no time, let me sum up.
We still have a long road ahead of us. Unless you’re a tsunami, massive change takes time. And let’s face it, we need massive change.
If Obama declared this country would switch to a national health care plan tomorrow, we wouldn’t see the benefits right away. The health care industry would have the biggest collective shit in history. There would be road blocks and filibusters and all sorts of legal battles, they’d want the President impeached, they'd throw hookers though is window and then call the paparazzi, and the media would have a fucking field day with all of it. Why? Because this is how our society operates. We put up with the road blocks, the filibusters, the legal battles are splashed all over the media, and half this country can’t tell you where Afghanistan is, but they’d know the name of that hooker tossed through Obama’s window.
We have the best change in history to turn this country around, to fix our health care industry, to educate our youth, to overhaul our political systems, and to make this a better country for ourselves.
But it’s going to be hard work. We’re going to have to put down the Enquirers and People magazines and pick up a copy of the constitution. We’re going to have to hold those who put this country in the crapper responsible for what they’ve done. (We need to expose the major corporations for the bribing, lying, corrupt sacks of shit they are. We need to expose the crooked politicians. We need to bring our boys home from Iraq and make those private contractors pay them for the jobs they stole.) On and on, we need some fixing.
Yes, I’m very happy with the way the election ended. Very. But we have many miles to go before we sleep, my friends. Many.
