Picture of the Day

These are scenes from a conflict in the South Korean Parliament as opposition party members try to keep the Speaker from ratifying a free trade agreement which allows foreign media ownership.

I don't wish that we had such scenes of violence in our legislature, but wouldn't it be nice to think that our elected reps cared this much when they're talking about something as core as healthcare?

Because they don't.

Imagine if you asked Senator X whether he'd rather fix healthcare or continue being a Senator? Which do you think they'd choose?

So, honor our passionate South Korean brethren. Their methods are messed up, but they really do care.
