"This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom."
It's not Christmas, yet; but given the President is speaking tonight about health care -- and it seems that universal health care is out of the question -- maybe we should consider whether Dickens was correct when he drew the conclusion over 150 years ago.
In most screen versions of A Christmas Carol, that part of the book -- one of the most important parts of the book -- isn't included. Too fucking depressing.
A CBS poll seems to indicate people are in favor of being kind to one another. What's the problem?
Kindness is okay as long as it doesn't mess with status quo.
