i wasnt totally serious
i did listen to some of the speech, and i am totally pro health care for everybody, -so i wanted what obama said to be true
-but i couldnt help thinking that maybe it was the same for people who listened to all the iraq war talk and wanted it to be true - that saddam was a big threat to everybody and the USA would be the good guys, saving the iraqis from evil and giving them a better future, that it would all be over in weeks and all be paid for with oil revenues - i think ppl wanted that to be true because it sounds so good - but it didnt work out that way at all, did it?
so im wondering if all this healthcare reform talk is similar. i want it to be true because it sounds good to me. i want poor ppl to have health care, but will it actually happen in a way that is for the common good? will it happen at all? i dont know, and in the end, obamas speech is just more talk which may or may not have any effect or even any resemblance to reality. its talk, and talk is cheap.
im not saying we should put our fingers in our ears and go LA LA LA i am saying that when ppl dont have to decide between going to the doctor and paying their grocery bill then ill sit up and take notice. untill then its just a lot of rich men in suits going blah blah blah
