I found this, part of an old public service comic book ad, on a blog called Polite Dissent which, despite the name, isn't usually particularly political. More like the intersection of comic books and media with medicine.

Faster than a speeding bullet point!

The ad (you can see the whole thing by clicking the link) is from 1952. The statement is still true and relevant, and there are still crotchety old men arguing for strict individual independence because they're cheap and want to hang onto every "red cent" they own.

Personally, I think when it comes to matters of patriotic duty, you rarely go wrong siding with Superman.

Past Posts (Personal, not Political) can be found at The Neon Nurse's Charting This past week it was mostly about car stuff and the dog's operation, although today I shared some thoughts about racism.

Brings back the memories

Superman and the American Way with Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson during the 1970's or back to their creators Siegel and Shuster and the Max Fleischer animations. Much more fun than the redone demythologizing in "The Dark Knight Returns" series by Frank Miller.

Who can forget the iconic performance by Christopher Reeve of Superman?
