This post is meant to put some fear into you, it is only my thoughts and opinions, but its something that this country may face, and it scares me. Right now as you know Obama and others are trying to take over health care. Lets say for a moment that this does pass in one way shape or form. Over the next few years the government will not stop there..they will look to other facets to see what monopoly's are out there and what they can stop. Now think of this, the government is not supposed to let monopoly's in business happen, they are supposed to find a way to bring in competition, that's how our system works. They have however let monopoly's happen all over and let me explain. First is health care we are all aware of this, you have over 1300 available health care agencies nationwide but in some places only have a few choices, thus you pay more than needed. The area however, I wish to speak of is TV. TV is one of our main news sources and a valuable part of everyday life. In my specific area there are three ways to get TV: comcast cable, direct tv and dish network. Most of you will be familiar with these companies. Dish and direct tv are essentially the same thing, both sat. dish's and some places you have trouble with local stations and need a clear signal so I will actually group them together and I think that you would agree. This leaves 2 ways to get TV: cable and dish. Now I can't even get dish because although I live in the middle of my mid sized town, I live in an older development with a lot of trees and cannot get a clear signal. I have ONE option...cable. Where I work I run into many people that have the same problems, there only option is cable. These people have no other option, there is a clear monopoly...soooo once the government gets its bigger piece of the pie it will break down into smaller parts, see the obvious problem, pick the best time to strike and bam..say we are going to create a public option. Rather than make the cable company break up like they did MA BELL and turn into smaller competitive entities they will make their own, much cheaper(because comcast is insanely $$$ for having a monoply)TV stations. On their TV you will of course only find PC shows and news that the government wants you to hear!! Goodbye fox news, goodbye trashy shows, goodbye America...HELLOOOOO Venezuela brought to you by your thoughtful good hard working liberal Americans that were just too caught up to know what is actually going on!! WWWAAAAKKKKKEEEEEE UUUUPPPP!!!!!

We should not act through irrational fear, we should with calm reasoning. That is what makes us civilized. Isn't it time to calm down?
It seems that most of the things that you resent - monopolies by big business can only be minimized by government regulation. Why fear government control, but rant against the lack of government control? I personally do not fear government.
I used to work for a government agency and I know them to be good honest people dedicated to serving their community. The government is us! The government is we the people!
I like my government police department, my government fire department, my government library, my government roads, I like Medicare, I like the VA health care program that is much better than private practice. I even like my public broadcasting TV and radio stations and think that their programing is far superior to the rest of the trash you can find.
All we have to fear is fear itself.

This poor individual won't know what hit him until he's lost his rights, however it won't be too bad for him as he likes being told what to do. I wold imagine this person to be a sad sad story. I'm sorry my friend, but i will forgive you. I will pray for you to go quick when your time comes.
