So many people are opposed to the idea of the ACA without even taking the time to investigate for themselves what it actually is. They view it as a form of socialism, without even realizing that the roads they use, the police, fire, library, public schools... all of it is essentially socialism. It's money collected from everyone, and distributed in a way that all the public benefits from it.
Cris had a great attitude about it. Better than mine. I've been in a perpetual state of pissed off about this since 2002, when I realized nobody gave a shit.
I find it quite odd when people bitch about socialism as if our country isn't already quite socialized as it is. It shows an alarming lack of general knowledge. Quite scary if you want me to be honest about it. Couple that with the religious zealotry that runs rampant here and it is no small wonder my partner and I plan to move to Europe in the future.
I am more like you when it comes down to it. I am quite pissed by the fact that we have so many sick and suffering people here that could be helped but everyone is so damned selfish and uncaring that they can't be bothered to help out, even by paying just a few more dollars in taxes.

I have a certain distaste for the emoticons, and particularly despise the laughing/rolling dude when used in response to one's own statement, but.....
Holy fuck that was funny! "Nearly naked, body all ripped,....". Oh, fuck me. I'm still laughing but can no longer piss myself since I've emptied the tank.
