Sick and sicker

I just watched Michael Moore’s “Sicko.” I am disgusted.

Yes, I know everyone hates him, he hates America, yada

yada. But the fact is that other countries have national

health care and it works very well, and it is quality care.

What the hell is wrong with America? It makes me sad

and angry to think that people in America suffer needlessly

because they have no insurance. I am more and more

convinced that this country is far from the country that

it was supposed to be. Warmongering, greed, corruption,

and disregard for human life are the center stones of our

society. I realize there is no perfect government, but

come on, people dying because their HMO won’t let them

be tested for certain things? I wonder what would happen

if everyone got up one day and realized that we live in a free

country and decided to picket, speak out, and stand against

all the things that are wrong in this country. I guess it will

never happen because we have become convinced that our

country allows anyone to get ahead if they just work hard

enough. It’s not true. That is not the way it works. There are

many examples of people working everyday towards a dream

and not being able to achieve it because of some loophole. We

have been duped. It is overwhelming to try and cut through the

crap to find the truth, and I guess that is why we don’t. It will

take a major uprising to change things. Pffftt..not in my lifetime.
