Two unrelated videos on YouTube: First, a compelling explanation of why we need government run health care, illustrated with stick figures. Effective, and also disturbing: The image of a little stick person with a bloody amputated foot may haunt you forever. (Via Hrag Vartanian; via godlessliberalhomo.)

Of course, having state-run health care might make people complacent, even indifferent to their surroundings—how else to explain this gallery-goer in Canada tripping over a work of art? So carefree is this person that, when pressed for an explanation, he simply shrugs his shoulders and explains that “It sucked, anyway.” Socialism! (Via Jeremy Bailey.)
