Healthcare debate? I think not! 09/02/2009
What does the word debate actually mean? Dictionary.reference.com puts it as follows, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ De-bate - noun - a formal contest in which the affirmative and negative sides of a proposition are advocated by opposing speakers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A formal contest? What's that? Is that what we're having over healthcare reform? Are we even discussing healthcare reform? We are sometimes talking about Health Insurance reform, but then we're talking about Healthcare reform, and it's all getting quite difficult to keep track of. One thing that is perfectly clear though, is that we are most certainly not debating the pro's and con's of this great issue of our times! The yay's are out there in front clammering for attention because they're getting drowned out by the nay's, however, when they get their spotlight, their talking points don't carry them far enough! Then we've all seen and been annoyed by the nay's in this fight because they're the loudest and most obnoxious! I don't think that any one of us is going to get the real facts about what's going to be in this bill unless you have a law degree (I have friends who do, so heads up)! The language of the bill made me feel like an infant quite frankly, and I personally consider myself to be rather educated and involved in regards to political issues and policy. The sad part is when the average American gets involved without knowing any of the facts on either side... you start to see mom and pop shouting with the jones's and vice versa, and who likes to see that? The loudest voices usually win the argument lately, but where do the people in the video below get off shouting down this concerned and disabled woman? As I watched it, my blood began to boil at the ignorance from the nay's because all they know how to do is shout! !!!-WELL I KNOW HOW TO SHOUT TOO-!!!! READ MY TEXT... EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU PARADE AROUND LIKE A GOON! I'll let you watch the video now, and let me know if you think that I'm just being a jerk to the nay's... I'm in the centrist mode in this argument because there are some things that I oppose but there are more things in the talks that I support. My voice from the middle has no place in this debate, because I'd get shouted down by the goons on the nay's. Watch for yourself.

Erin Sun, 06 Sep 2009 12:25:57 I don't know what to think about the whole healthcare debate honestly... there are a lot of things that I just don't understand, so I keep my opinions to myself.
