50 Million Americans Uninsured...and the list goes on

Global warming. What is so gay about it, you say? It is so gay to play a part to reduce global warming in my opinion. Ok, ok, ok, let's be matured about this for a second. Today's policies (no?) were designed to treat our independence on oil as a given, our basic health as a luxury, an adequate education as a privilege, and our children's wealth as our own. No?

No, our policies are working exactly as designed. The problem is, they all spring from a framework of principles and morals that is broken and bankrupt. American politics today is dominated by a morality of short-term over long-term, every man for himself, mights makes right, the lowest get the least, and actions without consequences.

"Country before self" is this still the meaning of patriotism? Nope, according to a book, "The True Patriot" by Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer.

Stewardship. Shared sacrifice. Mutual obligation. Responsibility for the common good. Equality of opportunity. These were the true patriotic moral values that animated America's founding generation, and they are the principles we must return to if America is to sustain its greatness, according to Liu and Hanauer.

What do you think about that? Oh, being green or worrying about global warming is so gay. Especially when you know what to do about it. Trust me.
