When Dylan first replied, I almost immediately replied with “Why won’t anyone comment to this!”

Yeah, but what I mean is, it’s always a crap shoot as to whether someone picks up on questions/comments/whatever. So the more you have out there, the more likely it is to happen. At some point, everyone has one of these days.

There’s a lot to be said for quality of content rather than just throwing more bits out there. We have enough noise already but I’m frequently guilty of adding noise.

I feel like this pretty often. That’s a good way to describe it.

Of course, part of my problem is I don’t post/tweet/whatever unless I really think I have something to contribute.

The alternative? Is it a “never shake with the left hand” thing? Or is a bidet the default?

And the $15/$1 certainly puts the luxury in perspective!

If we keep our society healthy, we make our society prosperous. To me it just seems like an advanced, intelligent society would want EVERYONE to be as healthy as possible, not “health to those who can afford it!”

I was just having this discussion with a coworker, apparently TP in india is considered a luxury… at $1 per roll. To put that into perspective they pay their fathers caretaker $15/week!

Yeah I haven’t had insurance in years since I started making too much for TennCare and not enough to afford my own. When I was made full time this past spring I was offered it but couldn’t afford it. We just had our open enrollment and I’ll be paying 30 dollars a paycheck for insurance with a 1000 deductible which I doubt I’ll ever meet, but I guess its there for emegency hospitalizations or something. My son is on the Cover TN kids program which is better than nothing but still not great.

I don’t have much hope that universal health care will happen terribly soon, but I dream about it. If England can do it after a world war, surely we can do it too. I think medical bills are the top reason for foreclosures which helped us get in this economic mess in the first place.

We say the word Valium a lot but that’s just not a luxury available to us. I wonder if universal health care would cover that.

Just don’t ride up to Congress on your own private toilet. They hate that.

Aww. I am also one of these bleeding heart liberals that want all children regardless of race, religion, ability, gender, etc etc to feel loved and accepted.

My little goddaughter is in girlscouts this year (she’s 5) and her mom, my best friend, has told me how the leader is just a mom who doesn’t really know anything about leading (but I am sure tries her best). I guess they don’t give them much training on the different girls they may encounter.

But I think its awesome you said something. I think a lot of people see a problem and either express it in a way that just offends the person they say it to, or they decide to just not “rock the boat” and things don’t change for the better.

As for the rest of it…I don’t think there is any way I could handle what you guys do every day. It would take a lot of valium. My one child and boyfriend and dog are almost too much for me to deal with in one day, lol.
