I’ve got a sim­ple mes­sage for you today.  Big is bad.

Big Gov­ern­ment is bad.  Big Health­care is bad.  Big Insur­ance Com­pa­nies are bad.  Big Food Indus­try is bad.

All of them are destroy­ing our health and well being in Amer­ica today.  I’m talk­ing about our phys­i­cal health, our emo­tional health, and our spir­i­tual health.  They’re being sucked out of us by these pow­er­ful forces.

Don’t kid your­self.  The politi­cians have one inter­est, and that’s stay­ing elected.  The big food indus­try has one inter­est and that’s sell­ing you more and more food whether it’s healthy for you or not.  They don’t care.  The big insur­ance com­pa­nies — they want to stay in busi­ness and keep pay­ing their CEOs large bonuses.  That’s just the way it is.

I know we got the “Tea Party” going on.  I kind of like the Tea Party, but I don’t think the Tea Party’s going to change much.  We’re going to vote some peo­ple in, they’re going to promise us change.  Hey, Obama promised us change.  Are you get­ting any of the kind of change you want?  I don’t think so, and I don’t think these new guys are going to giv­ing us the kind of change we want either.  It’s going to be the same old thing.  Within one or two elec­tion cycles they’re going to be the same kind of weasels we’ve got on Capi­tol Hill now.

If you want to be healthy, if you want to be well, you can­not rely on the big gov­ern­ment, the big insur­ance com­pany, the big health­care sys­tem, or the big food indus­try to change.  You’ve got to do it your­self.  There are peo­ple that can help you.  They’re all around you.  Just start ask­ing.  I’m one of them, and I’m try­ing to gather them together so you can find them.

You can be dif­fer­ent.  It’s not that hard.  It does require courage, but you can do it.  Go for it.
