confused, stupid people

hello...I have been under the weather the past few days. I am better now. I am writing this blog so late because I can't sleep. Anyways, things that happened recently: my sis got into an auto accident (she's fine but the car is not), my mom came back home (woo-hoo), and I got an Xbox 360 (which got the one ring of death but I fixed it).

When I started thinking about this topic it was about the speed limits but now this includes the health reform debate.

I was reading an article on how a driver got pulled over and got a ticket for going 58(mph) in a 65. How is the braking the law? The minimum speed limit of a highway is 45mph. According to the law, he needs to be between 45 and 65; slow drivers must be in the right lane. I don't remember if he was in the right lane or not. Maybe the officer made a mistake or something. I would say, concentrate on the drivers who go 75, 80+ who are weaving in and out of lanes. Don't tell me you have never seen that before. The comments on the article really disturbed me. Some people thought that the driver deserved it and that is dangerous to other drivers. Again, I disagree with that comment on deserving it if he is going 55 in the right lane it's all right. I was reading more and more comments it kept on getting more and more ridiculous. Comments were like "good, I hate slow drivers" and "I don't have to worry about speeding, now". My reaction is "wow, I can't believe what these people are saying". Then I just closed the page. I drive, nowadays, little or at the speed limit in the right lane. If you wanna pass, pass me I ain't stopping you, but if you are passing other cars in the right lane then I won't budge, it's my right. It is called the "speed limit"; that's the highest speed you can go without breaking the law. Duh!

This whole health care reform debate is driving me nuts. I am a bit confused about this. I really do think we need to better the health care system but how do we do that? Is this the best idea? Maybe, maybe not but it's better than nothing. This county spends the most in health care but have the 35th ranked life-expectancy. This completely unacceptable. What's with the death panels crap? Please, anybody with common sense knows there is no such thing. Let me get this out there: Sarah Palin is an I-D-I-O-T. God, she could have been VP of this nation. That's a scary thought. She quit on her state, what would she done in office of the VP? Anyways, back to the topic in hand. I have never heard so many stupid questions and comments against our congressman/women. Everything from Nazism, socialism, and Hitler bs. They should get their facts straight. How can anybody compare Obama to Hitler is beyond me? How uneducated is our country? Well, if 2/3 of the people don't know the three branches of government is, it speaks for itself. If you don't know what I am talking about, go to youtube or yahoo or some other site. The citizens aren't the only problem but the congress people are too, especially the Republicans. Why are they so against this? Where are their plan? I don't see one. They really, don't care about the health care industry at all. If they did, this wouldn't be so problematic. They can put troops in Iraq and Afghanistan but not work on this. Hmm....something fishy is going on.

Well, I can go on forever. TTYL.
