Think I won't go outside for a bit.

A 6 a.m. shift awaits me tomorrow, yet I choose to stay up just a little longer to spill my thoughts on a pixel white background. It seems the cyberspace is a hostile ground for political thought right now and recent political action.... case in point, a decision to revamp health care. It's funny because I always thought of the internet as a  "neutral zone" (to coin a star trek phrase) of sorts for anything anyone would wish to share; whether it was creativity, thought, or action, and pretty much kept my own beliefs and feelings to myself. No sense setting yourself up for a fight that's inevitable. Everyone is going to have an opinion, and there's no pleasing everybody, but you still would hope to at least hear some good feedback. I think that is the best anyone with a strong opinion about something they believe in could hope for....

It seems that this health care bill is the first real fiery debate since the decision from the U.S government to go to war with Iraq. I've heard both sides of the fight right now, and although I can not claim to know exactly what is going to happen to us a people, all I can really say is although the elite rich may delegate this country, the poor keep it from shutting down and collapsing in on itself.... a synergy practice that has existed since the dawn of  the first civilization They are literally "the backbone" of how and why we are where we are today. You can screw over a patriotic poor man so many times before he's just a poor man, and then before you know it,  a "see you later, man". Take care of your backbone, I say...but then again that's just me. To clarify, I can't say i see this newly passed bill as an entirely bad thing right now but I can't say it's entirely good either.... I mean, what about people who rather deal with their own medical treatment, like homeopathic and such?? Did I also hear you would get fined if you can't make the payments; So you can be in more debt? And jail to follow? Am I getting this right?

I think I'll take my friends advice and stay off of facebook for awhile.
