A Cry for the Weary

First I would like to start by making a correction in my last blog. Apparently Richard Seymour becomes a free agent after this season, on that account I was wrong. So I suppose that the trade makes a little more sense than it did before.

I would like to blog a little about what Mike Mullen blogged on earlier. Healthcare reform is something that this country has needed for a long while. And people seem to oppose on principle, just because they are Republican and Obama is a democrat. That is not to say that the Democratic Party has not been guilty of such things in the past, which is wrong as well. People need to realize that this country is in rough rough shape right now and its time for stupidity like that to stop. We need to stop and actually think through the problems and solutions proposed and figure out what's best for the country overall, rather than just a select few. We are all citizens of this country, and the welfare of the country rests on all of us. Even the poorest people of this country matter, they wind up doing the things the rich would be appalled to do. They are the invisibles who support this country with their blue collar work, yet people don't seem to care about them, and think they are worthless.

It is very sad to see. Hopefully it things will turn around and the country will start to work together to repair itself. And hopefully, if that doesn't happen, it won't collapse upon its self with a horrible outcome for all.

  1. How do you think we might be able to inflect this discussion so that we bring it over to the class (writ large)? How might we discuss the health care debate in terms of our key terms: television, minorities & cultural diversity?
