Do YOU Hear the People Sing?
Some inspiring highlights from REAL TIME with Bill Maher on HBO tonight:
American's believe we are the greatest country in the world, but according to our rank in infant mortality rate, illiteracy, health care (all 3 below 45th in the world), and many other vitals, we're actually quite far from being the greatest country in the world.
It's time we recognize that being the greatest country in the world is not simply our birthright, but an honor we must work to earn and uphold.
It's time we stop relying on the achievements of past generations of Americans to brag about.
It's time we find America's soul again.
On Tuesday November 7th, wherever you are, whatever you do...go out and vote.
p.s. tonight, Alan Boubil and Claude-Michel Schoneberg are coming to our show!

While I agree with you wholeheartedly about the importance of voting (I already filled out my absentee ballot!), I can't listen to anything coming from the mouth of the guy who dressed up like the Crocodile Hunter - complete with bloody stingray barb sticking out of his chest - for Halloween.
Bad form, Mr. Maher, bad form.
PS - Very excited to see MIZ....big fan of you and the show!
can't believe Maher did that. bad form indeed. REALLY bad form. i'm disappointed.
Hi Aaron,
I so agree with what you said. I am very surprised that in this country the baseball finals are called "World Series" when no foreign country participates. I think it reinforces the stereotype of Americans being ethnocentric by labeling themselves as "the world". I tell my students how vital education and health care are to the development of a human being; things that in this country have been made into a business. In many European nations, these are constitutuonal right. Well, but Americans can carry a gun, says the constitution. That is a mirrow of where the priorities of this country are. Vote for people who have their priority straight, and go and live your best life.
