Red Lips


In this very time when there seems to be an amazing constipated degeneracy in politics, some are seeking mundane refuge with science. I'm finding myself pressed to read about the abysmal mess that health care reform has devolved into. I don't get it. Obama was elected for change, there is a significant Democratic advantage in both houses, and yet the microphone is in the hands of Republicans. Is this the result of media and corporate collusion. Is the media rubbing its greedy little hands on the notion that conflict generates ratings. Or is it that Democrats are spineless, or rather still spineless.

It was easier reading the daily atrocity of the Bush administration, at least I was never disappointed with Bush. I expected nothing but horrendous policy and mismanagement, and that we got plus much much worse

Regardless...

I enjoy science. At one point I went to the local community college at night to study electronics. It was fascinating. I stopped only because they ran out of night classes in that topic.

Live Science: Why Are Lips Red?
...red-colored blood filled capillaries are close to the thin skin on your lips, so your lips appear red.

We have to stop thinking its because they're spineless. They aren't @ all. Its just that they are bought. It takes millions to buy a seat in Congress and you need Corp. $$ to get there. Why we have to stop believing this $$ doesn't come with a price tag. You know the scene were the Don in the Godfather hands u a favor what he expects in return. YOUR friggin SOUL.

The depressing thing here, is that when the Dems fail, who do we get back.

What's it going to be - corporate liberalism or corporate fascism. Different name - same result.
