All empires seem to fall.  There is some internal reason why the end comes and usually it is (im)moral in its reason.

Our time is near.  While the rest of the industrialized world has moved to universal health care provided for the people at no cost we insist on keeping our for profit system.  This represents our culture putting a monetary price on humanity.  You will be kept alive, but only for a fee.  Once a culture feels it has become so God-like as to decide who lives and dies based on something as selfish as how much certain individuals can profit from it, it tells me that rot has set in and the end is near.  Our moral compass is no longer working...if it ever worked to begin with.

This is a blog where readers, who aren't good at typing and aren't journalists with exemplary spelling skills, post our thoughts. 

Is there any way we could have the edit function back, like the one we had at the original site?  Pretty please?  I'll beg if I have to...

Even just make it like a 2-5 minute window where we can edit, and only before the comment is replied to, so nobody can change the content of their posts in mid debate.

Happier users = more posts = more traffic = more profitable site
