Freedom from Health and Care is the New American Way

I have often kept my trap shut regarding certain things--most people don't like questioning the things they think and Don tells me all the time I am never going to change any minds. And I almost ALMOST believe that is true, until I realize some of my more controversial comments continually get filtered and never posted on some of the right wing boards. Notably this includes healthcare comments and comments about money being the only value Americans seem to want to celebrate, which I wholeheartedly believe is true. It is legitimately the only value we can affix to people and situations and things--and generally those with it are automatically given more credibility than those without it. We don't value kindness, empathy, education or charity quite like we value money and I continually see it everywhere. You don't see people who have a lot of it even use a single one of those other facets to define themselves--which I have been noticing a lot over the past few years and hope one day people recognize and change their direction to embrace.

It's kind of an odd thing to recognize, but I recognize even my separation from my maternal blood line ...
