GASP! & a quote to think about.

I AM ONE OF THE 47 MILLION* AMERICANS WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE.

BUT THATS BECAUSE IM 20, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I'VE BEEN SICK, & I CHOOSE TO WORK FOR A SMALL BUSINESS WHO DOESN'T OFFER HEALTH COVERAGE.

HERE IS THE "GASP!" OF MY SHORT STORY... I'M ABOUT TO HAVE TWO [MAYBE 3] DR. "CHECK UP" APPOINTMENTS & I'M PAYING CASH :] DOCTOR'S LOVE CASH.

*THIS #, ALTHOUGH USED BY SOME, HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN ACCURATE. IN FACT NO ONE KNOWS HOW IT WAS CALCULATED AND ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL # LISTED ON THE LATEST CENSUS.



and here is the quote to think about -

"It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there’s someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master."

“The Soul of a Collectivist,” For the New Intellectual, 73.

[just one of the gazillion times our president has asked us to sacrifice so far - Obama's says in his acceptance speech (regarding the recovery of the economy): "It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other." ... what exactly does that mean in the political world... no one is sure... no one will explain it.]
