Reply #52: Bravissimo protesters . . .sic 'em . . .shine the light on 'em!

"U.S. Senate of Trusts"( Corporations as in Health Insurers) by Joseph Keppler of British Puck magazine circa 1880.

Top caption says: “This is a Senate, of the Monopolists, by the Monopolists, for the Monopolists.”

"They hate the light, but they can't escape it." again by Joseph Keppler Puck Cartoon circa 1880.

Only change I'd have to suggest is the woman shining the light is NOT the puny, pathetic press we have today. . .so she's the single-payer GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS today.

*************

My only hope is that, though these cartoons prove Congressional secret corruption/corporate privilege have always existed,

today's technology (television and the net-roots) will really be what empowers the people for the first time. . .short of street revolts!

And, President Obama, enough with the St.Patrick's luncheons. . .the Jewish seder dinners. . .and the Mexican Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Instead, how about saying you support these dedicated grassroots health care activists in your next PR moment. . .

JUST SAYIN'
