The proposed defense budget for 2010 is $664 billion dollars. A large portion will be spent on the Iraq and Afghan wars "defending" us by creating even more enemies than we ever had in that part of the world. But it's a matter of priorities. In order to defend us, the rulers require that we sacrifice our well being and lives at home to pay for that defense.
The Culture of Rationed Death
This is what's called a crisis in values.
The culture of rationed death prevails over the fundamental decency and humanity of caring for the sick.
Those aligned against universal health care consciously choose to impose their culture of death on the entirety of the population.
Who speaks for those of us who will end up without health care?
Which major figures on either side of the debate address universal health care as a life or death issue?
Who among the advocates of rationing are without health insurance?
Who among them are unable to afford or obtain their own critical care or the same for their loved ones?
Who among them will step forward and tell those denied medical care:
"You deserve to die."
