17 January, 2011: From Richard Gwyn, Toronto Star: After the U.S. at last entered World War II, Winston Churchill made one of the most brilliant of his comments. He had always known, he said, that "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing," continuing, following a fractional pause, "after they have exhausted all other possibilities". Following up....
Is it possible that Americans will realize that (a) democracy works better without handguns, (b) corporations are not people (their goals are $, $ $, not life, liberty and happiness), (c) affordable Health Care should be by all people, for all people, and not a benefit to corporate profit-making.
