I normally roam all over the internet because I have the tendancy to read a lot (which isn’t always a good thing because the majority of blogs just copy from each other) but I want to say that yours contains some great substance! Thanks for stopping the trend of just being another copycat site! ;-)

People like to say “One day…” when talking about things getting where they need to be. I’m afraid to hope too much but maybe, just maybe, we have a president who gets that and wants to see that day too. Common sense is so refreshing. How this country says “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal” but not everybody gets health care unless there’s ample money to back that up has baffled me my entire life. Money has to stop being America’s prime motivator.

If it’s OK with you I’d like to place a link to your excellent piece on my blog.

Friends - Here was my status update on FB last night: “Charles Rice-Gonzalez + Emily Raboteau on the A train leaving 125th street when we got the news that the healthcare bill PASSED (Thank you for letting me know Claire Conway, neighbor extraodinnaire). So where were all of YOU when you heard that BO made history?” If there is a silver lining to the vote, then it is that the Republicans (and 31 Dems), aligned themselves fairly and squarely against the people of this country. And I found the President’s sagacity and lack of self-congratulation or preening refreshing. This is huge, but there is work to be done. Let us do it.

Thanks Ru, for the enlightening reminder that the ruling paradigms taught in the American classrooms are often far from reality, insulting, and worse, deeply damaging to Americans themselves who in their desire to believe themselves the best in everything choose not to change anything.
