When your government is out to get you...

So, I know I haven't posted in a month. SORRY!
Um, let's see... yesterday I took my SAT and it was nowhere near as horrible as expected. Thankfully. Today I need to order some new skateboard stuff... so I can skate before it snows.
My hair is LONG, people! Anyway, I felt the need to post today, so here goes.

As hopefully everyone knows, in the United States, nearly half of the population lacks health insurance, making it nearly impossible for them go to the doctor for checkups or (for example) afford care prior to an accident.

Well, two days ago, a man held several people hostage at a Hillary Clinton campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire... with what seemed to be a bomb strapped to his chest (but turned out to be road flares). SHOCK! HORROR! Yes, what this person did is terrible, and the ordeal was certainly traumatic for everyone involved. But what's even worse, is the reason for which the hostage-taker committed this crime. It was merely as a last resort, it seems.

The reason was that Leeland Eisenberg, 46, merely NEEDED psychiatric care and was unable to receive it due to his financial status. THIS MAN CANNOT AFFORD PROPER CARE.
This country breeds criminals out of poverty and lack of healthcare and financial aid from the government. This is a lesson in how NOT to run a nation, people.


Anyway, here's the link: http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/12/02/america/clinton.php
