Barack Obama, has managed to put through Congress what no other American President has done before, "to provide medical coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans after an epic political battle that could define the differences between the parties for years."
It is a step in the right direction and one that moves away from the neoliberal policies of the Bush era. It is a decision that does not have immediate effects in Australia, but does put forward the idea that everyone is entitled to adequate health care, without regard to the size of their wallet. One can only hope that momentum for initiatives like this will increase, where the almighty dollar and the market are not the only factors that are considered when making political decisions.
Rioters, wearing tight jeans and tight tops, showed their masculinity, anger and all round low intellect by smashing the windows of a Bob Jane store in Oakleigh, because the EasterNats had been canceled. Bob Jane was the sponsor of the event, but the store that was targeted was owned by a Franchisee, who had nothing to do with the event. It is an indictment to the brain capacities of these protesters that it took an event such as the Easternats go to the street and protest, rather than the many more meaningful issues that affect the world. After all what is at stake? A few sausage sizzles, burn outs, woman in lycra and a few drag races, or the future of the world and all of its inhabitants. Watch out for these sort of people, sub consciously they have made a pact with the devil, they are not your friends, they would steal possessions from your house when you were not looking, they are the people that date rape and cut your throat while you were asleep. They play bad music and will be bad parents if that is not already the case. There is evil and stupidity in this world and these morons are at the bottom of the scale.
