July 4th, Laramie
The Fourth of July is rapidly baring down on us. Can you believe it? I know I can barely believe it myself. June half gone. Before I know it, I'm going to be an old man on my death bed. Heh. Me an old man. That is kind of optimistic.
I have a new short-short up on the Daily Cabal today. It's one of my favorites so far.
I watched Sicko yesterday which is why I posted what I posted last night, about wondering if you can change the culture. I don't feel like any of us have the power to change our healthcare system, and because I don't think I can make enough money to buy the best insurance, I am afraid for my life in this country because our system cares about profit first and maybe helping us seventh or eighth down the line on the list of priorities. I am afraid I will get a serious illness, or Sarah will, and our insurance won't pay for it, and then... one of us will die because of our system. It happens every day in our country. But not everywhere. So maybe, given how relatively easy it would be for me to move to the UK due to my mom and grandmother, we should consider it. For our sake, and our potential future children's sake.
