Not too long ago one of my friends got mad at somebody who's always on the drama train because she got screwed AGAIN by said people who know how to work the system for their personal advantage. It doesn't matter particularly whose system it is, they just will find the loophole every single time and slip right through it, letting the chips fall where they may for everybody else. I could tell by the gleam in her eye when she said it, that somebody was in trouble and was pretty damn glad it wasn't me. Peace and love and all that, ya'll. I have a really bad temper on very few occasions and I pick battles wisely, usually centered around trampling of human rights. Social activism is the only way to ever change something that has taken centuries to create.
Unfortunately, social activists tend to be of the lower percentile of income and job ops due to this big huge system called Congress that always pits defense against healthcare along party lines. Both parties are benefiting from lobbyists and big supporters who believe in what they're doing. Poor old John Edwards is on trial now for spending a hundred year old woman's money on his girlfriend while his wife was dying. Immoral? I'm not the judge of that. Illegal? Nope. That judge will have to live with the decision as either a momentous point of light in his career or a chance to capitalize on the dirty laundry that is being drug up during an election year, bless his heart. As for the guy who wrote the book? I'd check out his creds before you go using him as a star witness. If dude agreed to act as baby daddy, you can bet he was compensated and didn't bat an eye when the money came in.
We are T-5 days and counting until Mama's homecoming and everybody is about ready for it to be a little less complicated, if you know what I mean. She's been gone for six weeks while my poor little daddy heats up pot pies and corn dogs for supper. His angel, Ms Faye, cooks him a great lunch every day, southern style. He talks about how lonely the house is without her, and I understand. Anywho, we're gonna fix her up a suite with all the DME medicare will buy and proceed to spoil her rotten. She's earned it, durn it! Good thing we've got some medical professionals on board..one old lab tech and one under-employed social worker. The way that all works out can only mean one thing and that's all about the faith.
Big pharm, insurance and defense need to chill on us already. Just ask Ron Paul.
