Our species is so corrupt, as a whole. Those who achieve wealth and power grasp and plot for more at the expense of all others and call it their "due." What idiot needs to make over a Mill. a year to be comfortable? Why does anyone need to live in a palace of a home? It's a waste of property, lumber, and resources. It is pure self-aggrandizement. Corporations refuse to pay an actual living wage without raising their prices to the point where those wages become poverty-level again. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US!? A friend of mine likened us, as a species, to a virus. I argue that we, as a species, are parasites. Earth is an infected body. Our spread from that infected body is slow (thank God) like a parasite. We eat away at the sustaining body slowly, without thought for its death. We repeat our old patterns of greed and destruction from generation to generation, only evolving new ways to destroy and patting ourselves on the back that we have "advanced" beyond the barbarian past. We are such liars and self-deluder's in this. We are the same as the most barbaric of our ancestors, regardless of race or culture. Only our means of destruction has actually evolved. We need to WAKE UP!
So, about this new medical-care crap. I admit that there needs to be a minimum basic standard of available medical care for every American, but THIS plan sucks! I have a previously shattered leg, a crushed knee, steel compression plate in one arm, a bone impingement in the other shoulder (both of which make my cane painful to use), a minor form of scoliosis which causes constant pain and problems, migraines, insomnia from pain and stress, and I inflamed the synovial fluid in the hips as a child (turning them in their joints until my feet pointed the wrong way) which to this day causes me problems. I was terminated from my job with Goodwill because I can not function at full capacity. I can't walk around town or a workplace, so no one wants to hire me. Disability seems to think I'm fine (just like they told the gal at the doctor's office who had lost BOTH her legs) and denies me. I get $200 in aid, while I fight Disability, and $200 in food stamps. With this new bill, when I can't afford to get medical coverage I will be fined up to $5000 and potentially go to jail. Great, so adding criminality will REALLY help with trying to get employment, in general, and with trying to get decent PAYING employment, specifically (for you mental midgets out there, that was SARCASM). If I don't have the money for medical coverage, where the F$%K do you expect me to come up with $5000 for fines, and how much MORE impossible will it be for me to afford medical coverage once I'm slapped with this ridiculous idea of the bureaucratic morons that are running this country?
Some days I just PRAY that this planet get hit by a "world killer," except that the other species are the innocent ones.
