i wacthed Sicko and wrote about how it influenced my idea and opinions. In Sicko, Michael Moore compares the health care system in the U.S. with the ones in other countries.

I hear libs saying that national healthcare will provide healthcare to the disadvantaged, while the cons say that such a program will only increase the national debt.

Someone I know is drinking so bad that I fear he will die soon and he simply does not want to stop no matter what is said to him. I was thinking of driving him to a detox hospital (do such things exist?) and letting the doctors do what I can’t. I know alcoholism is [...]
