U.S. needs more pharmaceutical companies

[Guest guest]

I AM proud to be American ... always! I may not care for the

healthcare system and I may not care for some of the officials, but

we DO have elections and DO have a choice to change those

officials. We can write letters, we can lobby, we can openly

protest, and we can work for the candidate of our choice. But, how

many people really get off the couch and do that?

 

We can have an open forum like this and say whatever we like and not

fear that someone will knock on our door and take us away as a

result of our comments. We're spoiled. If the government and our

society is not what you want we want it to be, then we need to work

harder to get it there. If we think our rights are being eroded then

we need to speak up (like the petition and more). But, saying that

we're not proud to be American is akin to saying that we expect

someone else to take care of us and that they are not doing their

job. It our responsiblity to take care of ourselves.
