insure this!

watched the big speech last night. seems like an insurance company bailout. i'm curious as to why we continually reward the bad guy? the banks, and wall st. create a major fiscal disaster, hey, lets pump tons of money in. insurance companies make healthcare simply unattainable for many people, let's mandate more business for em'. ridiculous!

would you not agree that insurance is fully unnecessary? it's a giant, bloated, middle-man, puking money for the fun of it. i do realize that i'm living in a logic driven, fantasy world. i just don't see what's wrong with demanding what's right for us. we've had 8 years of first hand evidence that one side of the political spectrum is fully unable to compromise. it's time for the other side to drop this partisan bs, and start to take absolute steps to ensure that we're not perpetuating the massive problems we've been living with forever.

to me, it seems that if any one of us declines to accept these new insurance rules, we will face a penalty. i don't feel comfortable being forced to support the problem.

besides all this, obama's not the first president to deliver a fiery speech to congress on the topic of healthcare, and i'll be quite surprised to see it all go through anyway.

america voted for change, not to aid the insurance mafia, or to beef up private contractors in iraq, or to bail-out crooks on wall st, or to turn a blind eye to warrantless wiretapping, or to half-step on matters of torture, i'm just not seeing the changes i feel we need to make in order to become powerful purveyors of peace, and justice in our world. watching a room full of pigs, standing, clapping, grunting and groaning, holding up their bogus protest signs, texting, screaming "it's a lie", seems like pure pomp to me. myself, and many of my friends have nothing to do with this, and we most certainly aren't being represented by all this bull. if i had the chance to ask obama one question, it would be along the lines of, "what place do you feel arts, and music hold in a successful society?". we've been left behind! if one was to follow any major societal advance in the history of civilization, they'd notice a correlation in advances in the art world. i know many ultra-talented musicians, fighting for our lives. unfortunately, due to our current setup, we live in a world where one feels trapped into taking bogus jobs, just to make sure that we can receive quality healthcare. the few of us that decide to pursue something culturally relevant, are treated like the scourge of the earth. i would argue that short of teaching, working as a doctor, or scientist; music, and arts are nearly as important. i'm finally seeing this clearly, and quite frankly, i'm upset, and sick of seeking compromise. it's time to start doing things correctly. we all know what's just, and it's time we seek just that.
