Editor's Note
As I used to tell my students, the answer to a problem lies in how you frame the problem. Michel Moore demonstrates this beautifully in this discussion of the healthcare system and the recent assassination of the CEO of United Health. We are programmed and reprogrammed to blame certain people for problems and/or certain people as problems. This programming is reinforced with each tragedy, and anyone in the mainstream media (or their pundits) rarely breaks from the approved script. This is true again with trying to figure out why Mangione (an unlikely terrorist by all accounts) committed this horrendous act.
