Politically correction

I find most news nowadays offensive, let's stop airing it. The less details the better. Do we really need to hear all the gory reasons why someone died? In fact, must we be in a state of continual depression because every day someone else has died? From now on, when someone dies, let's just stop talking about them. Bette yet- let's stop talking about people who make us feel like we need a good bath- people like those on Fox News, Sarah Palin, Lou Dobbs.... Please- no more "reality shows!" They make me feel worse about myself, not better! And please retire Jay Leno once and for all. As for People in the News: no mention of race, creed, sex, and most of all- no mention of "who you're wearing" at awards shows!

God, what a sick society.

Winget's rant

Regarding healthcare, I believe that it is immoral to deny anyone healthcare, period. Who or what pays for it is another matter. There is not enough focus on prevention, as Obama has been saying, but to penalize someone for smoking? Drinking? Eating? How about denying healthcare to those who don’t wear a seat belt, eat unhealthy foods, stay at stressful jobs, text while driving, fight with their spouses, take up sports such as boxing or race car driving…. What about politicians who promote divisiveness and hatred? Also, there’s a big difference between diseases of addiction, ignorance, and self-destruction. If someone is mentally ill and attempts literal suicide, is it a non-reimbursable expense to care for them if they survive? If not, what if they do it slowly- by drinking, smoking, other “risky” behaviors. We’re stuck with opinions, and mere decisions, because, damn right- it’s all too complicated for a simple Right or Wrong. Usually. For me, Fox news and today’s Republican Party are no-brainers- literally. They have nothing good to contribute. I’ll take my chances with the imperfect Democrats, the intelligence of Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and yes- Larry Winget.
