Phi Beta Iota Editorial Comments:
Both of the two-party tyranny sides are flat-out wrong and betraying the public trust. The Democrats are trying to cram through a seriously flawed health bill that does not address three quarters of the problem: healthy lifestyle and environment (preventive health), alternative or natural cures not funded by insurance combined with profit as the priver for the health “industry.” The Republicans are mobilizing frightened ignorant citizens in a manner that is plainly unethical and reminds us of how Newt Gingrich destroyed Jim Wright.
