Let's Get Political, Political

First thing's first - that was clearly to the tune of "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John and if you didn't recognize that, get off my blog.

Moving on...

Okay, I get that this healthcare thing is a big deal. This is going to affect everyone for better or worse and I can't say that there a tremendous amount of things that have happened in my life time that I've truly been able to say that about. But at the same time, maybe it's not quite time to panic or rejoice yet? So much remains to be seen and while in theory we can say that it will be this or it will be that, we have no idea. There are few things I hate more than people just leaping to absolute conclusions about anything when there's so much that remains to be seen. I am neither VERY EXCITED or VERY NEGATIVE about this - I think healthcare should not be a luxury but I also think that we need to figure out how exactly we're paying for this when medicare is totally bankrupt. Also, when they tried to mandate healthcare in MA it cost a zillion more dollars than they thought. So, there's that. But REALLY guys, we don't know. You can't compare socialized healthcare here to Canada or Europe because it's just not apples to apples. What you can do? Just wait and see how it's going to turn out.

And on a related note to everyone on the entire fucking internet: KEEP YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS OFF MY GODDAMN NEWSFEED. You are not changing anyone's opinion, you are just making yourself look like a jackass. And irritating me. So quit it.

Okay, the end. I promise more posts about ridiculous drunken times/internet memes in the future as a reward for slogging through my rants. xoxo.
