Considering how well the corporatocracy is being run now, i think actually electing governments for the people is the way to go... The corporate war mongering hacks that are running the show now are fast turning the world into a complete shambles... It's not just the iraq thing that the US should be focusing on... There's a problem with bees at the moment, hives dying off without explaination.. so what i hear everyone ask... just stop and think what all those bees pollenate (and how ever many more knock on effects)... I site this as only one example, there are thousands more and these are global... you only need to look at countries in the 'coallition of the bribed' to see the same concept recurring again and again... this is all propped up by government puppets playing the tune for the corporations....

p.s. as for the universal health care thing? that answer is simple, you tax the cigarettes sufficiently (the difficult part is ensuring these taxes get to the health care system - see above) so that when i develop cancer, i've already paid for the treatment by smoking....

p.p.s.. this is my first post, hehe this is going to be fun!
