Any of you upset over your healthcare law?

I find something about everyone's opinion on this thread, state of things, and the government odd. Everyone that has posted has blasted the whole thing, and your government, but then, not to offend anyone, most of you don't do much research into what is really going on, as far as behind the scenes, and as a global picture (very important). Then, when I bring anything up that actually pins an act or event or true motives on big brother (ex. 9/11...) most people ignore it and claim:

"why would our government do that to it's own people".

Am i the only one who sees the irony in this?

Nope. But people will connect the dots in their own time.

There was a day Americans spoke highly of the nation, and of each other. There was little reason to speak badly of government (and doing so would get you some mean looks) and for the most part we took pride in our work and our land. That's what the history books tell me anyway, because all of this happened well before I was born. And I hate feeling reminiscent of what I never experienced.

Wow, that choked me up. In the time and place I grew up in there was a sense of pride in ones work and country but I don't see much of that anymore.
