as always, time at grandpa's provides hours of uninterrupted fox news viewing and anxiety. happily there was a terrorist plot foiled just prior to my arrival as well as a heating up of the health care debate. they must have known...

i keep hearing this line about young uninsured americans and what a drain they are going to be on the health care reform... as well as the "fact" that conservative pundits keep claiming that these people... aka me and my friends, don't actually want health insurance.  excuse me, can you repeat that? i don't know anyone that does not want health insurance, and would like to pay astronomical fees for simple doctors appointments or prescriptions. 

as for universal health care being socialism, well, if by socialism you mean people being socialized into a system that recognizes the basic human right to health care, than sure, call that socialism. unfortunately, that's not even close to what the current reform is going to do, that is, if it even passes. 

being here, around my conservative family makes me feel like i'm drowning. i can't breathe, and everything i strive for is completely unattainable and could only exist in a separate universe, one in which my family and all those like them, don't exist.  fuck, that's depressing. oh yeah... fuck lieberman, sell-out--prick!
