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.
