Dead Peasants Insurance Policies
I finally saw Micheal Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story documentary on Pay-Per-View last night – especially shocked by dead peasants insurance policies.

I can’t find the words to describe how disgusted and shocked I was to learn about such a disgusting scam. My God. There is a special place in hell for the corporations who practice this.
I’m still trying to process it all. Such an incredible flick.
Makes you wonder if Massey Energy had dead peasant life insurance policies. It would certainly explain why they cared so little for safety and human life.
See if your employer has such a policy. Your boss would much rather have you die, soon, so they can collect on the secret insurance policy they out on you.
Sounds crazy – but it’s all true.

About me...let's see...
I guess I'm just another tree-huggin', commie, Cheetos-eating, pajama-wearing, unemployed blogger.
I'm anxious and vainly optimistic about where the country is headed, and openly dreaded the day Bush ever came into political office...I''m not happy about having a party filled with spineless "oh we need to cherish the blue dog dems" ...but I'm also glad that we are finally moving away from the cliff we were all teetering on for the past decade.
What bothers me most is the fact that too few people today understand how incredibly dangerous our government has become or how unreliable and weak our news sources are. I'm not just talking about Fox. I'm talking about the bulk of the mainstream media. It's not liberal - and it's certainly not fair or balanced. My kind of news reporting was the kind I grew up in the 70s, and clearly remember a time when the so-called liberal media was all about reporting the cold, hard facts, filled with investigative journalism, and anchors or reporters who refused to do fluff pieces - like cats stuck in trees, water-skiing squirrels, and Darwin-award-winning idiots who would do anything to make themselves into a news story. Being a reporter meant something more noble than a fat paycheck. You did your job because you wanted to get the truth out there. Now? You're mostly smeared or called a tin-foiled-hat-wearing lunatic of you find out - and expose - any kind of government or corporate corruption.
The upside of today's kind of media? Bloggers are a new breed of journalists - ready to hit the streets...err digital webspace... and have helped get a president elected, and a fascist dictatorship out of power.
