Is This Fair?

We are subsidizing health care for illegal immigrants.
Parkland Hospital lets undocumented women with no health insurance give birth at their hospital and because they cannot pay for it ($6000), turns out I have to. I am not sure if I should be paying that bill. Or better yet when my girlfriend gets pregnant I want the government to pay for that too - even though I can afford it. That seems fair.

Must Read Book

I just finished reading One Nation Under Therapy, and it speaks to a belief I feel very strongly about. Its main point is that people are stronger and more resilant than we think they are today. This book talks a lot about how therapy has been forced onto people now as opposed to being available to them. They use Columbine and 911 as examples where counselors were forced onto people instead of just being available if needed. They assumed that people obviously needed therapy becuase these situations were tragic and no way could people able to process it themselves.
The funniest chapters are on how kids today are taught in schools to talk about their feelings all the time, and how everyone should protect the childs self esteem. These authors laugh at these teachings and once again mention that children are stronger than we make them out to be.

Call Me Crazy

I actually agree with my boy Hagel.
And yes this is probably a political stunt he can use to run for President.

The most crazy part of all of this is the fact that I am agreeing with much of the main stream (liberal) media. Israel seems a little out of control to me. They keep using the phrase like we need to defend ourselves. But they are not defending they are attacking. Yes Hezbollah took two soldiers - and that is way wrong - but no way does it constitute the damage that Israel is putting on Lebanon right now. The Israel Prime Minister seems hell bent on not stopping and I cannot see a positive at the end of this one.
