Lot of folks who can't afford health insurance contribute to society.<br /><br />Having health care is basic to a lot of other abilities, and the lack of access impacts, and impairs, families and communities. How on Earth can a child be expected to go to school and really be available to learn if he/she is preoccupied with a family member at home with unaddressed health issues?<br /><br />Plus, not spending money on small health issues becomes spending money on big ones. Even those of us who have coverage pay more--in premiums and in the costs of care--because so many people get help only when they're forced to.<br /><br />So I guess you could say you and I disagree about the "value" of people.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my blog!<br /><br />Your friend,<br />TriciaTricia Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07088601464755102884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20086233.post-65888575205816049012009-12-04T19:01:13.195-08:002009-12-04T19:01:13.195-08:00this really makes a lot of sense, satire or not.

This post was satire. check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire.<br /><br />"The purpose of satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit."<br /><br />I was *imitating* a right-winger, specifically one who is basing his/her views on emotion but can't just come out and say it. Thus, the logic doesn't add up, like saying "in America you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps," but then complaining that if the government makes health care more accessible, they will not be able to pull themselves up.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my blog, and sorry to confuse you!

Some of them have university degrees, and hope to use their degrees to begin working outside the home. But others didn't go to university, and were pressured into the housewife role by some serious patriarchy bullshit in their homeland. I make a point of telling these women that if they are able to and want to, when they get to the US, the skills they learned while taking care of kids, meals, cleaning, and home improvement will all be marketable skills they can use for paid work in the US. My words are met with relief, warm smiles, and also, especially from the men in the class, skepticism. So you keep telling 'em, and I'll keep telling 'em too.pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675993483165955805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20086233.post-36782884735340477952009-02-02T09:06:00.000-08:002009-02-02T09:06:00.000-08:00I have always loved these rules by Mr. Cage.

We made a makeshift nest under a shelter, and watched over the course of the day and were excited when he settled into it. The parent bluejays came down from the tree nest frequently over the next two days to feed the baby. Really cool for the girls to watch this so closely. Then, the baby was suddenly gone...our hope is that he finally got those wings to work properly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20086233.post-3506164048509010372008-04-22T19:19:00.000-07:002008-04-22T19:19:00.000-07:00Oh man, the kegels.
