Echoes.

I’m all out of interesting.
It’s true.
They had a sale of interesting at Schnucks recently and sold out.

Okay.
So they really sold out of pita bread, but when you consider that it’s the highlight of my life, you can see why I’m not quite up to typing lately.

Is it the gorgeous weather keeping me from typing?  No.
The blizzard Dallas threw at me last weekend?  No.

Mostly it’s just this lack of anything interesting to say.

This week the nation has been bombarded with healthcare news and I find myself tuning out the folks that are blustering about it.  Truth is that we can’t agree on everything, we aren’t going to agree on everything, but knowing people that just don’t have access to healthcare under the current system makes me scoff a bit at those that thing heading in this direction is a bad idea period.
That’s like saying clean water and non-pesticide-laden foods are a bad idea.

Truthfully our healthcare and insurance companies need overhaulin’.  And since you can’t kidnap them and fix them up into a shiny Buick in a week, we’re stuck doing things the old-fashioned way.
We’re going to throw out 40 billion nets and hope one of the damned things catches a fish.

Some folks are upset about this.  I get that.  What I DON’T get is how many people are upset about this without actually reading/researching what is contained in the bill.
Mostly people are just wandering around verbally sticking it to The Man.
And that’s fine, but comes across a bit like “I don’t like this bill because the President looked at me in study hall the other day.”  Ridiculous.

Disagree, fine.  But give me a reason, for heaven’s sake.  You’re not 3.  You don’t get to have a valid point based upon ‘just because.’
You can have a sucker though.  Cherry or grape?
And don’t forget to wash your hands before and after!

Sigh.

And I’d love to say that I’m open to this because I’m a liberal and have hugely detailed opinions on everything that happens in life.
But it’s more that something’s gotta change and I certainly haven’t thought of a better way.   So I’ll try this way for a while.

It doesn’t have to be perfect yet. 
With that many politicians hammering the play-doh together, how COULD it be?
But.  It’s a start.
And that counts too.
