31. It kills me
to hear these crazies complain that we may have to pass on the cost of revamping the health insurance industry to our children when in the same breath, they say they want to watch 18 hours of TV and eat doritos all day. Let's just pass that mentality on to the next generation, shall we? We already have ridiculous childhood obesity rates. But, hey, when kids are fat and sick, it makes the insurance tycoons more and more money, no?

And the pro-life crap kills me, too. Pro-life, for the unborn, but let's just kill our young men and women for useless wars. Well, not useless to the people making money off of them. Since when is this not TREASON? Making money from war? People would give more of a shit if we had to ration and sacrifice like my grandparents had to for WWI and WWII. Would ol' Beckster like it if he only had a certain ration of gasoline for his big SUV because we are in wartime? I bet not.

How soon we forget. How sad and frustrating. Seriously, I made it through 9/11 in Manhattan and then made it through Katrina here in NOLA and neither stressed me out as much as the hate and misinformation being thrown about lately from these talking heads. They make me sick. So sick.
