Where Has the Future Gone?
Political commentators and pundits in the median endlessly talk of recent developments such as universal health care, civilian trials for terrorists, and the horrors of the Afghanistan debacle. These commentators occasionally make valid points or express important views, but often fail to highlight the long-term implications of congressional bills that truly alter history. This continues to be the case with the health care debate. Deliberations exploring the costs, payer systems, taxes, and death panels are important, but neglect the far more devastating impact this bill may have upon human behavior.
The study of human behavior and social influence are well known to editors, the media, and political hacks. The real Obama agenda is to influence Americans in such a way that society becomes dependent on the government to care for them. For health care, this means, pass anything, knowing that once it has passed, the dependency and complacency of American citizens will ensure it cannot be reversed. This has become Obama’s prized political goal because this legislation will force future politicians to be more liberal, expand their voting base, increase government involvement, and negatively alter you medical liberty forever.
