Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to federal murder charges
v
My friend Dave's, son Clinton , age 42 with wife and two young daughters, dies suddenly at his mother's home shortly after being released by a Maine hospital where he was incompetently treated for a heart condition called " left ventricle tachycardia ". Clinton, on SSI and Maine Medicaid, was also cremated before an autopsy could be performed . A lawyer told Dave that inadequate health insurance was probably a big factor in Clinton's sudden death. In a phone call to me the distraught father said he could understand why some bitter victims of the still FOR PROFIT health care system in " OUR democracy " would make a hero out of the no doubt crazed Luigi Mangione.
Just a few years ago the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party was celebrating the passing of " Obama -care " ! Finally , they said, health care had become a basic human right in the United States ( Senator Ted Kennedy's dream ) .
Observation : still so many mentally ill homeless people abandoned by the American health care system. Decades ago it made great FOR PROFIT sense to deinstitutionalize the mentally ill. Now that they had those God- sent PILLS ! THAT was a crime against humanity . Look all around you in any big city USA for the horrendous consequences .
What more can working class people want in " OUR democracy " than greedy CAPITALISM, hawkish American imperialism, and murderous Israeli Zionism ? BILLIONS of dollars worth of " security " for us , of course, from " Axis of Evil " threats . So little of the nation's vast resources invested in PEOPLE CARE . Will Erich Fromm's " The Sane Society " ever arrive ?
