I think Alice meant to post it under the heading "Cuba approves, makes available lung cancer TREATMENT". Funny how weirdly reports from Cuba get put up on the internet.

When we do this in our own local communities on our own land we will be free." The state will never allow that. The state will implement a martial lockdown way way before that ever comes to pass. What you're talking about threatens state taxation and control of the population. The only way to get around this state dominance is to take control of the political institutions along with the civil ones, so that the state is no longer in control of the military. “We must provide our own medical care, grow our own food, provide our own energy, build our own housing, provide our own schools, arm and staff our own militia, care for our own elderly.

These people combined with their minions in Congress have brought about a health-care crisis, housing crisis, financial crisis, energy crisis, and several other crises that don't come to mind at the present time. I don't know if Obama will really make a difference, but surely no one can think that electing McCain will make one iota of change in this country. The doctors must as a group speak up forcibly for the need to change the health-care system. Even at the cost of their multi-six-figure incomes.

The federal government and the global corporations are the problem. They will not be the source of the solution even if Obama is elected. He and all pols are just the smiley face of corporatism.
