Finally be Free

As I watch the news and catch some Oprah shows, I can't help but get annoyed at how alcohol is killing society. I am sorry if you disagree but it should be banned. At least raise the drinking age and take it more seriously. All it does is hurt and kill people. Too many people drive drunk and act stupid. Its not like its that great either. Ooh, getting drunk is fun....duh. Get over it already. There is no positive reason to drink. Find some other way to relax and have a good time. Get creative for once. It really pisses me off that weed is illegal yet it has never caused a death or sickness. Then you have alcohol and cigarettes which are the leading killers in this country. Its sad that America has it backwards. But then again what do you expect from the assholes in government and big business. They don't give a shit about the people who live here. If they did than cigarettes alone would be banned. Considering its a fact that they are harmful and can kill people. But they need to make millions off of our sickness, disease and deaths. Man, am I proud to be an American!

When I talk about how I feel about America with people they get upset and uncomfortable. Yes, I am opinionated, hence the blog, but I have a right to say how I feel. There are a lot of people who feel the same as me and they are speaking up all over the place. Good for them! This country needs to change, period. The more I hear stories about mothers driving drunk and killing a bunch of kids or a drunk driver hitting someone it makes me so sad. Just alcoholism alone is a huge problem. Every cancer case I hear about and tobacco commercial I see just makes me more pissed off at this country. Why is it that we have this killing machine built in our systems? Our government is constantly at war with its people, our rights are repeatedly being taken away and our laws don't make any sense! Why can't we just get it right?

Another horrible thing about America is its healthcare system. That isn't a surprise. I have felt this way for a long time. I have been on and off insurance for years and to tell you the truth, I'd rather not even be a part of it. Im surviving without it so why should I pump my money into the biggest soul crushing business out there. No thanks and fuck you! Hey, if they will find a way to fuck you over when you need them most why give them the time of day or your hard earned money. Money that is very hard to come by these days being our economy is so great and all. Yet another issue that needs to be resolved. This country has been around a long time and yet we still seem to have so much to learn. Now wonder other countries hate our government and feel bad for all of us Americans. Its embarrassing.

Michael Moore's film Sicko was eye opening. If you haven't seen it yet than rent it today. I cried throughout the whole film because there are so many people out there who suffer under the harsh hands of this country's greed. Its disgusting. People dying, misdiagnosed and worst of all, being denied care. We can only count on ourselves and the people we love. With all this going on how am I or anyone else supposed to feel comfortable trusting in this country to take care of us. Shouldn't we have pride for the country we live in? Aren't we supposed to stand up for the place we call home? Well, it looks like pride, trust and comfort all got thrown out the window when violence, greed, disease and lies took over.

Maybe one day we will all finally be free....
