Or maybe I'm one of them, and I have a gun to everyone else's head?

Every President has raped the Constitution since Andrew JohnsonJackson, its a fact of life...

Fixed. Remember Worcester v. Georgia?

Thats not what the Healthcare bill does in the slightest, I dont like it much these days, as there were too many concessions to the Republicans and Corporate Interests, however, to say that its going to "essentially kill" anything is ludicrous, and its still better than the current system...

I'd argue the current people in charge of the insurance companies are the death panels.

and the Parties have been in the process of raping the system since before the Constitution was finalized, again, its a fact of life in a Democracy...

In other news, water is wet.

Good points all around,

What does anyone mean by "tyranny?"

Sure it's technically defined, but it gets thrown around so much, it's almost the equivilent of hot or big or bad or any of those vague, non-universally accepted terms.

You mean "hot" that can be used to describe both warmth or attractiveness?

Or "bad" that can mean both the opposite of good and good?

No, more like a guy who's lived in Northern Canada for fifty years might think something is hot, while a guy who's lived sixty years in Africa might not think it's as hot, but rather lukewarm.

Or like how some people see abortion as "bad" while others see it as "rational" or in some cases "good."

Something like that, I fucking suck at analogies and examples, forgive me--you comprehend the main point right?

Meh. I'm alright with government. Sometimes awful policies get put in place (warrantless wiretapping, for instance) but that doesn't make me want to overthrow the whole thing. That seems like overkill.

i like the government.

^ This. It's not perfect, but it's workable.

Poe?

[Or maybe I'm one of them, and I have a gun to everyone else's head?

That would require a very large number of arms.

Are you a conjoined twin?

He's several conjoined twins,

I certainly hope your little revolution has better spelling.

Poe?

You think? I didn't get that feeling. So...perhaps.

[Conserative Morality]

They have these cool remote-controlled arms now. I react very slowly, but I've got a lot of people covered under this system.

Your first analogy was apt; your second one not so much. You're saying that something like tyranny is relative to a person's experiences. A single action can be both more tyrannical in an open society and less tyrannical in a closed society. The law saying that women must cover their bodies but not their face would be an increase in tyranny in the US and a decrease in tyranny in Saudi Arabia, for example.

Maybe we're all wrong and he actually means a small country named Ameica that Bush, and now Obama have been dominating with a Tyrannical Medicare scheme...

[Ashmoria]

One I hated bush and i realize what the hell he did to the consituiont. Two I hate Obama because he is no better and is proposing with his health care bill to essentially Kill your grandmother. and Three, I Think the partys have ruined America.

my grandmother is already dead so ....

I hadn't thought of that. Could be. As the Creationists like to say, Anything is possible.

[CommunistSovietAmerica]

Well, I don't exactly know about tyranny, but corruption and big government are getting out of hand.
I believe Bush was probably the worst thing to happen to the U.S. so far, even if he did keep us safe.
I also believe Obama is just as bad, if not worse.

Hmm... that's always a possibility. In that case I'm all for it. I mean, tyranny ought to be fought. We must liberate the poor Ameicans!

[Maurepas]

Idk about tyranny, Im beyond tired of the corruption, but, Ive yet to see the less corrupt system, personally...

I honestly don't think the US government is all that corrupt. There is corruption, certainly, and dubious ways of doing things but if you want a corrupt government where nothing happens without money changing hands, I refer you to Africa or the Middle East.

Well thats what Im saying, its corrupt, but not nearly to the point of some of its competitors...

Basically, I dislike lobbyists,

I'm not fond of lobbyists, either. I think there ought to be restrictions on movement from government to lobbying, for instance.

[Fartsniffage]

I still have one grandmother. She's annoyng as hell but this damn socialist healthcare system insists on keeping her alive.

I actually like lobbyists quite a bit. I don't like money in politics.
