Steele physically turns his back on a woman who asks why people like her mother should die from cancer, simply because they cannot afford medication.
This "health care" debate has nothing to do with health care. It is a culture war between racists and liberals, between authoritarians and progressives, between human rights and corporate fascism, between the past and the future, between those who believe the earth is a litter box and those who believe it has been given to us in sacred trust, between liars and honest people, and between elitists and populists.
In the 1960s this conflict eventually led to blood in the streets, and it is headed that way again. No bully was ever placated by logic and rational discussion. No predator was suddenly overcome by compassion enough to spare the prey. No thugs ever self-reformed. And the current crop of neo-con propagandists will not rest until they have prodded the left into defending itself. They are masochistic, narcissistic sociopaths who recognize only pain.
