3:AM on the East Coast

[supernova]

and I'm hyped up on red wine and Sicko!

Ask me whatever the hell you want. There's a good chance I'll tell you the brutal honest truth!

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. I'm with ya on the wine....

how was sicko?

[supernova]

2. Cathartic

is the word I used in GD. It was CATHARTIC. Because I have felt that we needed universal healthcare for a long time. I mean, since I was little. I have personal and intimate reasons for saying that.

So, SIcko was Cathartic and validating too. I really hope that Sicko does for this generation and healthcare with Sinclair Lewis' The Jungle did for the meat packing industry.

Go see it the first chance you get! You'll be glad you did.

5. Upton Sinclair

but my question is, since I read your response about your ex in the other thread, did your ex inspire your sigline, or was it inspired by something else?

9. D'Oh

you're right. Uption Sinclair.

No, it wasn't my ex.

I have always been fascinated with the idea of public faces juxtaposed with real intentions. After all these years, it still amazes me how often those two aren't the same thing.

12. me too

I wonder about this alot. I wonder if we are hard-wired to respond to certain features, expressions, inflections and cadences for some genetic, evolutionary purpose, or if perhaps people are just stupid.

6. Thank you...

I'm with you...I have personal reasons also. I'm thinking that the movie may literally make me explode in anger.

10. What's enraging

is watching what Canada, the UK, and France do while we suffer needlessly.

And the dumping of patients on SKID ROW!!!!???!!! How fucked up is that!!! :grr: :grr: :grr: :nuke: :nuke:

8. Angry and sad

And what a joy to see Tony Benn talking about the NHS in the UK.

[Breeze54]

15. I'm amused and gratified that you are all upset....

I mean, I've been screaming for years.....

And suddenly lack of health insurance is the 'NEW WAVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HALLELUJAHQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry:
:cry:


I'm 'veerclempt' and I'm not even Jewish! :rofl:


I'm so ............. *sigh* .....


I'm stroking my head for comfort....

[supernova]

16. Really, it's moronic

that we don't have universal healthcare in this country.

Rocket science it ain't. Yet, here we are in this mess.
