Organized around war and money, that us ...

Wars on drugs, sex, Iraqis, oil. Whatever you want. Don't like something. Let's have a war ...

If that doesn't work for you, take some of the most important functions of a working society (supporting one's self and one's family, one's health and one's family's health, one's overall well being and the well being one's family) and organize that society in such a way to cause the most harm for as many as possible and the most wealth for a very few. That is us, the US of A.

Not limited to draconian law enforcement, the US's societal sickness permeates even to groups that promise 'no harm.'

The above link should be read not only for the documentation it contains on the amount of debt many physicians are burdened with in our society, but also for a vivid picture of how those who will be responsible for treating the rest of us when we are at our most needy and vulnerable have been treated themselves. Who among those who go through US medical training can possibly be unscarred human beings?
