I hate that it is, and I do feel that's rotten for the people of this country. It's just that in my experience people tend to see things based on thier own experiences (of course). The people that are fortunate enough to have good coverage and don't want the boat rocked are often not familiar with so much of the information (and much much more) I attempted to relate here. And in the beginning of the thread I really did address, I think, the OP.
Recognizing the flaws and continued degradation of the system does not amount to a blanket condemnation, nor does it pigeon hole me in a certain political idealogy. It is a field I love and sacrifice for and have for years. I also feel it comes with some responsibility to show the other side of the coin.
