As I'm reading Hightower on Wall-street rip-offs,click here
I get this wonderful rant from my Georgia Girlfriend on this subject:
Hey Bia!
The whole bailout thing is just irking me something awful today!!
It is as if I gave a drug addicted father a sh*tload of money and
was forced to listen to his wife and kids cry because they are hungry.
States are cutting back every help in an effort to curb the deficit. We
are keepin' the rich sittin' pretty in their private planes while the rest of America goes hungry--no job and no hope of getting one any time soon!!
I've got nothing against the people I have encountered that dig through
trash and recycle anything they find ( I happen to have some encyclopedias that
were given to me by such a person) but the sh*t is getting steep when ya can't
get rid of trash without someone asking ya if ya got any cans in there!
I give things away around here---I mean "here take it if ya can get any
money out of it good luck!"
And ranting about that got me on another avenue of thought. It is no
secret that our bills were paid by people who donated money and collected money
for us when Dylan was in the hospital. A great deal of the money came from
teachers and school employees that had little to give but gave what they had.
More came from friends that washed cars and collected money for us.
People we did not know came together to give either their time or money
or both--for us.
That is the way single payer will work. We all want to do something. It is
one of those things--I think--"Ask not for whom the bell tolls"---we do not give
a damn we just give.
We don't refuse to rid our head of hats when a funeral passes by--we just
do it--it may be an inconvenience but it is what is right. We do not ask what
kind of life a person lived before he got sick--we just chip in to help him and
those that love him.
We give blood --we give organs that we no longer need------I would be
more than happy to give to a pool that would make single payer a reality!!
I don't want my children to have to face the hardships that I have had to
face. I don't want to give them the world and have spoiled brats--but health care
is--or should be a human right. If we have single payer then we can stop
worrying about Monsanto an the like--the ill effects on humans from these giant
corporations would be looked at with a mightier scope!
I am frustrated--sorry for the rant--
much love, Cynthia
much love, Cynthia
