Shameless plug for a good cause

[Kevy Baby]

I guess I am too cynical of perpetually watching people want something for nothing. I am tired of new programs that will "take care of the poor sick children" that end up perpetuating the welfare state on my dime. I am tired of watching lazy-assed people not willing to work for a living and claiming that (pick your favorite cause) is a "right" to them.

And I am REAL tired of "government" picking up the tab for every little thing that comes along (speaking in the general sense and not just health care - I'm on a roll here). Cuz at that point, "government" is me.

Here is a far-out question: is "affordable" health care a "right"?

In my opinion, abso-freaking-lutely.

The idea that the decision to save a person's life is predicated on how much money they have is horrifying to me. How much money do I have to make for my life to be considered worthy of saving?

Money is a tool, it is NOT a measure of a person's right to health and life.
