NAWAPA,  Glass-Steagall, or repealing Obama’s Nazi plan for single-payer, is your only possible hope for survival, and for this nation to survive, but lest you offend the gods of Olympus that you have created in your mind, you whimper: “And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.”
