Are we not seeing a return of the feelings of the 60’s and 70’s social outrage?

I give the following to ponder:

“Like my comrades, I believed that a higher level of political sophistication was necessary and that unity in the community had become a priority.”

“We are oppressed people in the U.S. and don’t even know it. We have fewer opportunities to be doctors and lawyers as tuition increases. Our problem is that we want to belong to a (government) that wants to oppress us.”

“A riot is the language of the unheard. ”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ”

Those words need to be powerful in all cases, for all people, not just the situations that we selectively place them in.

The heated rhetoric stems from the significance of this topic. It is not only controversial it is divisive. All parties should be blamed for the tone on health care reform. I just hope that people can mature when we discuss public issues like this-and it wont stop. This is a global issue and it is becoming an alarming trend where people are disrespectful to each other. Hopefully the future generation will not adapt this nasty habit that we are portraying in front of them.

I hope this vote was right. We will see in November or 2012/2014

While i agree that Palin is irresponsible, i do not concede that she is a politician and therefore she is really no different than the Westboro Baptist filth spouting off dysfunctional egotism. Except of course Palin gets paid. So you basically would agree she has the right to incite as equally or feelbly as you feel the Phelps do i assume? She is just as much a racist as Bill Oreichy. Let’s stop pretending they aren’t as we demand to talk about the subject of (how did you so poignantly put it?) structural racism.

There is something very disturbing about Palin bashing the media when it is she that does not want the coverage to stop.
