Wall street Rip-offs and Healthcare

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
