New theme!

Thought I would change it up a bit. I swear when I am done with school, I am going to really learn how to make a blog background, and digi-scrap. I do love the blocks' backgrounds though. They make it really simple to change it up, and they are fun and cute!

Less see, today was interesting. I always used to be a Michael Moore hater. Maybe it was because I wasn't educated enough about what he is, or why he does the things he does. I am intrigued by him lately. We finished watching Sicko today in class, and I know that he made it to totally be slanted towards one view, but it left me feeling sooo angry at the way our health care system works. I had seen the last 20 minutes of it before, on cable one day, so I was thrilled to watch it from the beginning. Why are we, the land of the free such a corrupted country? Why do we let the drug companies own us? I admit, I don't know a lot about it all, so I am not going to try to sway you one way vs the other. I just know how I feel and it makes me sooo angry to see these things going on around me. I ran into Fred Meyer the other day, and there was this senior gentleman working behind the register. Clearly, he should have been retired. He was tired, he was having a hard time getting things done like he wanted, and all I could think was: "He should be retired at his age." I felt terrible for him having to work. I realize there are a few (may it be a few) older people the really do enjoy working still, as it gives them something to do, and keeps them active..but clearly his case was that he should be not working. Sigh.

I wish we could just be the country everyone claims us to be. We are in so much trouble. I cringe when I think about what our country is going to be like when our kids get older. It needs to change. And soon!
