Sometimes a "not-so" Great Notion
And I quote from the "comments" section at TruthOut:

As long as the notion persists that government is always the problem and never the solution we will continue our downward trek.

We are stuck with this ideological drivel that has dominated our economy for three decades while decimating the middle class.

What kind of people are we, where half of us consider centrist, corporate friendly Obama a raging leftist socialist?

1. Ken Kesey just rolled over.
Please refrain from using his words to besmirch Obama.

2. Ha ha
Please.
If anything Ken Kesey would understand the need for a strong public health insurance option and be against escalating in Afghanistan.
Two items, for example, this President caved to corporate interests on.

3. Kesey knew that getting something done is better than dreaming of getting something done

4. yes I agree and...

...not "getting something done" on a public option and towards a more peaceful world would not have sat well with him I am sure.
