Not according to the Bush mafia ...

Here's an article everyone should read: We Have a Right to Know Where Our Food Comes From.

The only people who are proud of our country at this moment in history are those who like our military blowing the hell out of other countries and killing people for oil.

We live in a country where one political party is comprised of sick, greedy, malevolent bullies and the other political party spends all its time just pretending to address the problems they were elected to handle while assiduously avoiding all controversy (a strategy that is not only impossible to accomplish but one that is not even politically rational).

We live in a country where very few cared that a sick woman was allowed to die on the emergency room floor as doctors, nurses and cleaning staff all walked around her.

We live in a country where hospitals have been known to abandon patients on the streets.

We live in a country where corporations with the concurrence of the Bush mafia work to ensure that you don't know what they put in your food, where your food comes from or how it is put together, processed or packaged.

We live in a country where corporations repeatedly lie about and hide information about the harm caused by the pharmaceuticals they spend millions to get you to use.

We live in a country where everyone thinks you should be prosecuted for disobeying the law UNLESS you are part of the Bush mafia.

We live in a country where the President, with the Congress' concurrence, has decided you can be put in prison indefinitely without trial and without charges and without evidence of wrongdoing just like the original King George the United States fought against. We've come a long way, baby.

We live in a country where corporations are more important than people, where the rich rarely have to face the consequences of their actions and democracy and freedom are becoming no more that words to be mouthed by politicians and tyrants.

ADDED: Alternet has a short video clip with Michael Moore and Oprah that you should watch. Aren't we all (we know the corporations are) just so proud to be 37th in the world in health care (behind Costa Rica). You also may wish to visit Moore's web site: www.michaelmoore.com
