"Death of America" replaces "Death to America" ??

Listening to the debate over health care reform in the USA raises worries about our neighbour to the south.
As a Canadian, I grew up knowing that a poor education was a right that made many American citizens especially proud. Hunters came up to Langenburg, Sask., about this September each year, set down by a slough in some farmers field and started blasting off shots from daylight to dark, earlier in the summer Americans turned up for fishing trips in July with snow boots, parkas, and long johns; enquiring American minds touring the RCMP training centre in Regina queried the wisdom of Mounties patrolling modern traffic on horseback. Some even complimented us on our ability to speak American. No matter. They were, after all, Americans.

Today, in Congress, 50 years later, a highly educated American doctor, Dr. Boustany, Representative from Louisiana proudly maintained the right. Sitting in the audience listening, following along in a print copy of Obama's speech, Boustany revealed he was unable to master the various statements by Obama declaring that the President would not support government run health care. With real American aplomb he declared, "Replacing your family’s current health care with government-run health care is not the answer." Duh!! American education still produces proud graduates. Perhaps, we can convince him to by a gopher farm in Saskatchewan along with a Canadian Royal Title.

If he was alone in this shamefull debate against the best interests of the people of the USA, it would be humorous. But many peers agree with him that the USA should spend its fortunes on a killing machine to use around the world against enemies like 15 year old boy from Canada and ignore the welfare of millions of Americans, who have been educated to be so proud they will die of disease before they will demand security of person in their own country.

Is there a civil society left in the USA? Or is America already dead ?
