Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

Sure, as long as it's easy -- just food and clothes, but not health care. Not gonna give THAT to someone who "doesn't deserve it", as you put it so clearly.

Just a nit. Our government is changing laws about health insurance, not seeking to make health care affordable. I believe the recent changes will make health care more expensive, less available, and of lower quality. It takes government to figure out how to mess things up that badly.

It may seem odd, but my feelings about what the government forces us to do are very different from the compassion I feel we should show to each other freely. Bad things happen, and good people do something about it. Not because we are forced by the laws and government to do it, but because we are compassionate and caring beings who form societies. Government is not the glue that holds a society together, it is merely an agreed upon coda that attempts to give us justice. It cannot give us equality, as that is measured in the character of each individual.

Democracy at gun point. Enforced compassion through legalism. And, worst of all, we've sold our kid's futures to bankers dooming them to indentured servitude for many decades.
