sigh.

balance is so fucking difficult.
Seriously, back to the life of hermitude it is.
Gotta just keep my fucking head down and work because I'm getting distracted.


speaking of distracted, spend the last hour or so reading up on US vs Canadian health care.
I think the biggest issue is that Americans are generally distrustful of their government. Many  people just don't want the government mixing in their health care system. Which is not an unfounded fear, I'd say. But a single-payer system, this so-called "socialism" is bunching the knickers of so many Americans because of the capitalist philosophy we've been built off of. A gaggle of martyrs, us Americans, dying for our freedom- the freedom we can't enjoy because well, the uninsured lot of us are dead.
