False Gods

I am having a difficult time writing my thots without writing a rant. I'm tired of people who take advantage of others, who are rude, who live excuse to excuse.

I'm tired of people who walk over other people to get what they want. I'm tired of elected officials who have the charisma of snake oil salesmen and I'm tired of a society that believes money is the be all and cure all for everything.

People aren't dying for lack of food and medicine. People are dying because we don't want to feed them or give them the medicine. We've created such a false hierarchy that people really believe the present system is gospel and that boggles my mind. People need medical care, but it costs too much without insurance and they need insurance because without it the doctors and hospitals charge them more for the same services those with insurance get cheaper. Doctors need insurance to protect them from being sued by patients and on and on it goes. What it all comes down to is everybody's need to make a buck and they are willing to let people die before they give up that buck.

We aren't talking about lack of resources. We're talking about lack of access to these resources. There's something wrong here folks.
