I love politics...

...and politics make me want to puke.

Just a few resources regarding the congressional bill regarding national health care. Educate yourself. Don't read people's blogs, forwards and commentaries to make your decisions for you. They could be wrong. (gasp!) Maybe this bill is the worst idea in the history of the world (I don't know, I haven't read the 1000 pages.) Maybe there are some good things and some bad things. Maybe it's a graet idea that isn't getting worked out just right. Maybe it's the best thing that could happen to US healthcare. Don't just take someone's word for it, though.

It's something that has the potential to dramatically impact my children's lives... yet I can't seem to find time enough away from my children to research it much! It's so much easier to just let someone tell me what to think. Thanks for encouraging me to do the opposite - to actually think for myself. Love you!
