The Dislikable Health Bill

I often wonder what people are thinking when they do something. Yesterday I witnessed a person pull out onto the road, skipping the right lane completely to get into the left lane, effectively blocking another person who was trying to merge from the center media. Then after only a 100 yards, pulled back into the right lane to make a turn. Why did this person do this? Was it a tired truck driver who forgot for a moment they were driving a Honda?

I wonder about the people we elected to represent us. Last week a historic Bill was passed by a very narrow margin effectively splitting our country in two. In theory it is suppose to provide health care to everyone. In theory. A theory I don't think anyone is against.

We could debate until hell freezes over on the individual things in the Bill we like or don't like, but I think it missed the main point of why so many people, myself included, don't like this Bill. For something so historically important as this Bill, why was it rushed through? Why the late night session, and sessions on Sunday? It was like everyone had "CAR FEVER". Got to buy it now, for they only have one red car left, and they won't make any more. Yeah, right.

Our Media wasn't much different than a bunch of High School teens, going "He said, She said". You would have thought with around 500 pages in the Bill, you could find something else to report besides the Left and Right fighting like toddlers. I remember a time when Journalist were thought of in high regards, even noble. Reporting only the facts, leaving the theory and gossip to the tabloids. Now we have 90% opinions/egos and only 10% facts at best. It's like they don't think we can come up with an opinion of our own, and if we do, it won't be the right one.

Unfortunately as much as I would like to blame others, I am just as guilty of dropping the ball as they are. In this day of information, I could have looked up the Bill myself and gotten my own answers, but I didn't. I could argue I didn't have enough time, but only if I had been trying to find things out. Instead I buried my head in the sand, and relied on others (News Media and Politicians) to get me the information.

So now what do we do? Move to the Outback of Australia, bury our heads and hope people will leave us alone? As much as I would like to see Australia, I refuse to bury my head anymore. I will get myself informed, and do my best to get myself politely heard in a civilized fashion. I will NOT let others steal my joy by sucking me into their dramas, for I am truly a wealthy man. I have a wonderful family who I can fully depend on for anything, and God who loves me!

The question is, are you wealthy? Do you have someone whom you completely trust? God? If not, I suggest you forget about this Health Bill, for if you have no one, you will never have health/wealth. Remember none of us are perfect. The key is to except others completely for who they are, and to be honest, truly showing yourself, so they can completely except you.
