This isn't just a "Duh!"...

It's a "WELL, NO SHIT!!!"

Anyone with an active brain can work that out. Why do you think the American car makers are in such trouble? Because they CAN'T AFFORD THE HEALTHCARE! And do NOT put the fucking blame on the unions for wanting such a luxury.


However, I am losing hope that real healthcare reform will happen. The thousands of jobs that the insurance companies have are worth more than the millions of jobs of the whole country.

That and the scary concept of socialism (woooooooo).

I am so fucking tired of the selfishness of this country's attitude (and not just on this issue). But then, what should I expect from a country founded on Persecution and Slavery.

'Cause that's what it boils down to, ya know.


If we really want to prove that this is a country where every man (grr) is equal, then let us at least TRY for economic equality, too.

No, I'm not saying every person should be paid the same or limit how much a person can make on the upward scale (or have the government run everything, because that would be scary). That would be as stupid as our current system of greed and corporate (feudal) lords.

I'm saying let's move above the whole slavery concept and give the workers some of the fucking rights they deserve (and supposedly have)!

Obviously I'm just feeling bitchy today

Headline: "Irrational phobia? What's really behind the fear of flying"

Phobias are irrational by definition.

*rolls eyes*


And a side note on my previous rant (now that I've worked the worst of my anger out by pounding sod): I actually do not want a federally run health care program. As many have pointed out, it just wouldn't work for a country of this size. However, federally funded, state-run programs would be for the win. Basically well-funded medicaid.

But the federal funds are essential to state-run programs working. That and some common sense rules for litigation, testing and other expensive things. But that would be for the states to decide.

Dear Body

As your consciousness, I would appreciate it if you stopped acting like a child and just stopped complaining. Stress exists and will always exist. You've known that for nearly thirty-one years now, so when we encounter stress, big or small, you need to not break down. It will. not. relieve. the. stress!

So if you are thinking that this cough should go into my lungs again, Stop.

obligatory love,
