Welcome to My World

The rantings, philosophies, and memories of a retired military, ex-diplomat, tattooed biker chick, quilting o'lady, pagan college student step-mom.

No guilt trip here - I refuse to to cave into that trap - about anything. Everything happens for a reason (Karma? Fate? Destiny? Dumb Luck? or Free Will...) and it is what it is. I've come to a point in my life where I can accept that.

Eveyone always told me to write a book, because I have so many funny stories, life experiences, unique view points...but, a book? What a pain in the ass. Blogging seemed like the next best thing, so, if you're ready (and there's room enough for everyone!) fire up the bikes and lets ride....

AARRRGGGHHHH!

When will the madness end? There was an article on Yahoo Finance this morning, "Obama defends August deadline for health care bill" http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-refuses-to-rule-out-apf-1811745621.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=2&asset=&ccode. According to the article, "Obama defended the deadline, saying the American people want the overhaul done quickly"...oh, really? After the previous bailout fiasco's, I don't want Congress "overhauling" anything "quickly"! The article also says, "The House bill would, for the first time, require all individuals to have health insurance and all employers to provide it." OK, so, what about those who are unemployed, retired, or who just don't work (housewives, college students, etc.)? What, the Insurance Police are going to come arrest you because you don't have insurance? Please. I saw a interview with Ron Paul (I - Texas), and he said that insurance wasn't a right. The pursuit to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...those are rights. California's going Tango Uniform, but they're still giving GRANTS to low income college students? College education's not a right, either. When is this country going to get back to basics? Oh, yeah...the recessions almost over...Yeah!!!
