"My country is broken." Randi Rhodes (radio host)
aloha again, just some random thots this time.
1.ABC News reports that ONE MILLION CHILDREN ARE HOMELESS IN AMERICA,most with their families. they profiled a disabled dad who had been homeless with his family for Ten Years.they moved from shelter to cheap motel to shelter.some motels were full of whores and used syringes,time to move again.the interview with the children was heartbreaking.
i am still pissed about it. collateral damage of Casino Capitalism.Billions for AIG but SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE IS "Too Complicated" or "Too Radical at this time" (meaning the venal insurance companies and campaign donors will suffer).
2.MY FIRST LOCAL CRIP
when i first moved here i was in Longs Drugstore and spotted an old white guy in tan shorts,he had a prosthetic leg, way cool. weeks later i saw him again at the Capitola Esplanade sunning his scarred stump on a bench.no biggie, i just admired his courage and self possession.CRIP PRIDE YEA!
in other news,
if you have five minutes to look at something i think is BEAUTIFUL.scroll down to the YouTube link and type in THOUSAND HAND GUAN YIN.Enjoy.

I basically agree with everything you just said. Isn't Randi Rhodes still off the air, by the way?
ReplyDeleteThe President has no interest in national healthcare, as far as I can tell. His "reform" seems to be to have mandatory insurance (like with cars). Yeah, that's great. If I could afford health insurance, I'd have it.
The country is definitely broken. And it doesn't look like anyone is going to fix it.
