Why Can't we be friends...Class Warfare?

Oddly enough "Class Warfare", was one of the predicted results of that Economic "Sub-prime" mortgage fiasco that occurred later last year.It was predicted by one of the economists analysing the situation. You can see it now in the resulting debate about Health care in the U.S. Obama proposes some plan to adjust health care in the U.S. Alot of people are balking about the idea because there hip on the idea that the U.S might not be able to afford "free Health Care."

They downplay in the News Media Places like Canada, and England that have Universal Health Care systems ....they want to downplay their system in favor for an American system of health care that is practically non-existent. I'm listening now to a radio talk show. The host really downplayed the idea of a the health care solutions being presented", but didn't seem to offer one herself. Now she's talking about Botox treatments.

So is it the case of the "Haves" not really wanting to give anything to the "Have-Nots".. Not that they don't want to , but just that we are all really strapped for money... after all we give the money to Bankers and Bad Investment Organizations that lost all our money on a bad bet.

So President Barack Obama asks the existential question, "Can't we just all get along?" "Why can't we be friends?" Basically a good question to ask. Maybe if American people, and policy makers could just sit down and have a beer with someone they have a difference with, maybe we'd all come away with a better understanding... I guess its a good example the President wants to set. Its certainly something I'll think about more...if Obama can do it, maybe I should give it a try right?

But I'm sure Obama realizes that there are alot of people, that have disagreements with American Foreign policy, American government, the whole bit. If your an Iraqi civilian how do you forgive America for bring troops into their homes, killing and terrorizing them? If your American, how do you forgive the Bad guys who rammed airplanes into the World Trade Center? The point is though that we don't really know who rammed those buildings. Some people speculate ,that our own government might have done that. For what purpose? To liberate you from your money..to the tune of trillions of dollars. We in America have fucked so many people over, I guess they ran out of people to fuck over. So we do what we do best , fuck over each other. Why not, its what we do best.

What the point of this article? Its just to say, that while maybe some of us could benefit by asking " Why can't we be friends?", Some of us far too often end up saying .."No, I can't go for that...Oh no, no, no can do". It started in the George W. Bush administration. Maybe Obama's got a better solution. Maybe I should, and many other could reconsider, maybe people like Obama should consider the "Hall and Oates" tune "I can't go for that."
