First Ted Rall calls for the naturalization of our oil industry, citing the miraculous reappearance of milk on the shelves after Chavez nationalized oil (in his country), conveniently forgetting the downward spiral of (Venezuela’s) economy since his socialist policies began.
Now the Aspen Institute and Tom Friedman tell us that obesity is a conspiracy by the drug companies to sell their products.
It appears that the American Heart Association’s diabetic research, plus numerous other health research studies are also suspect. Our self-appointed sages have spoken, and we are to swallow their erudite pronouncements hook, line and sinker.
I just read that China’s population is now tending toward corpulence. China has socialized everything. Wherein lies the fault there?

How about instead of using erudite language to try and talk down to people you offer your ideas or solutions to these problems. That seams to be what Ted was doing with his piece. Go eat a bag of donuts Pat.
