"ism's"

Interesting political cartoon created 50 years ago by Harding College. Takes about 10 minutes of your time to watch, but very interesting. Especially the last minute or so. Makes a person give pause and really consider the reality of what's going on in Washington DC right now. How much "freedom" are we losing with the federal government taking over parts of the banking and automotive industry, temporary control or not? Are we truly "free" if the government controls so many aspects of our lives? If we let the government control a business now to save us from economic disaster later, when will the government return control to private industry? Will government ever return control to private industry? Will health care really be better if the government controls how we use that system? I have to wonder how good the health care will be when it's provided or subsidized by the same government that is supposed to take care of the highways and bridges we drive on every day.

Have a good one.
