I am home, and bored so I will rant about something. Maybe I will make it political... Well I might as well start someplace. If you follow the war in Iraq even the littlest bit you would of heard that we made a cease Fire with this cleric guy. Now in my opinion that was a bad move. In a way dosent it seem like 'they' won that battle? I think we should of moved our forces in there and obliterated every person with a weopon or anything that looked like one. Yes civilians would be killed, but this is war... It is bound to happen! Our soldiers are over there dieing and we are trying to make peace with there murderer's, while these people are just causing more problems. We should not go for cease fire, the goverment should let our generals go in there and do the job right and worry about the political matter later. COnsidering the politics are already fucked up it wont make a difference. Lets see what the next thing on the agenda is...
Lately John and I have been going to the gym 3 times a week or so. Sometimes we actually get into serious conversations. One conversation was health care. We both agree that the healthcare system in the US sucks. What we as a country need to do is make 'free' health care. Now it wouldnt be totally free, but would be alot like how I pay now. You would have your co-pay, which we will say is 15$. Regardless of the doctor you go to, it will cost you the 15$ to go. Then all medicines will cost you 10$, regardless of the medicine. The goverment will pick up the rest of the tab. Now, I am ALL FOR paying more taxes for this. I would give an extra 10 dollars or whatever out of my weekly check for this, you can even make it 20$. But overall it would still be less money than it currently cost and EVERYONE will be covered. Yes there are bad aspects of my plan, but I think a healthy nation is more important than a little debt. Obviously our country does not worry about debt when it comes to attempting to improve quality of life in other country's, so we should spend some of that money and improve the quality of life in our very own country.
Now lets hit schooling... Our country as a whole needs to spend more money on schools. We need updated books, schools (in some places they still use coal burning furnaces), and the quality of training our teachers have. I have been blessed with the area I have grown up. We have good teachers here and its a good school district. Not everyone in the country is as lucky as I. With Bush's "No children left behind but lets not give the schools any money or time to help make it effective' policy this is far from happening. His policy just dosent work how it is currently emplamented. When you have teachers who have to wonder at the end of every year whether they will ahve a job or not dosent work. School budgets should pass, and people should have a good education. The fact that school budgets dont pass cant be blamed on anyone but us citizens. We are responsible to vote that in, and if we dont then in other words we are saying that we dont care about the education of the kids.
So what I want people to do, and what I will try to do also, is become educated about politics for hte upcoming presedencial election. Even though I, for the most part, already know who I am going ot vote for I still want to here the opinons for everything else. I actually dont feal like getting into this anymore. What was said above is strictly my opinion, and I am not always the best informed. So I shall head out...
Bibby out!
