Bad choices? Whose Responsiblity?

The conservatives say that the rest of us, especially those of us that are poor, make bad life choices. This is incongruous. They are the ones selling the bad choices! Example: "Drink Coke!" This isn't healthy, yet they managed to position their products into public schools to influence children. They justify this on profit. Advocates of "free markets" shouldn't be preaching about responsibility when they have a vested interest in our doing the opposite.

To Be Free, Or Not To Be Free? That's The Question. (Sorry Will)

For One Single Impression: Freedom

A bear runs over fields
To the stream, pawing out fish
-then to the campsites!

I pushed the kickstart,
I felt power through each atom
-wind going through hair.

After forty years
They finally released him
-an old man, but free.

I should make a choice.
Darn it! Now I can't decide
-I had to do that.
