I'm Lovin' It.

May I begin by saying I would give my soul to be here this weekend.


Hey man, now you're really living.
Enjoy it bitches who are attending, tell Guetta I said hello ♥

"This is not a healthcare reform. This is a health insurance reform."

I was only half-listening, but I believe CNN said Larry King said this. Of everything I've heard in the past few days, this is the most true statement of all. Before the newscaster announced the aforementioned quote, a story was aired about a 14 year-old girl weighing 400 pounds. Her life, obviously at risk, was saved by some combination of medical miracles and surgeries.

So yeah. Maybe we should reform our lifestyles a little bit as well?

Can we all please research what this bill means folks? All I hear from people is "Free insurance? Fuck Obama man, that means more taxes. We're not socialists, this isn't Cuba." Well, does it actually? I don't crunch numbers myself, but I'm pretty sure no one is going to give up their entire life savings to fund someone else's medical bills. From what I've heard and read [mind you, the bill is over a thousand pages long, so believe me I really skimmed]. If anyone can complain, it's the privately owned insurance companies, and even so, I like to hope they'll be taken care of. Personally, I like socialists, I am Brazilian after all.

I won't pretend I understand politics. I won't pretend I the stack of publications under my bed are anything other then Vogue, Nylon, or Elle. A review on new soy-based nail polish remover catches my eye more frequently then who was elected mayor of Little Rock, Arkansas. I do care, and I do vote. But, as our forefathers predicted, most people suck, myself included, and forget to pay attention to their surroundings and cannot be trusted with the fate of their country. I just hope this reform plays out for the best, and I hope people:

1. Stop complaining, you probably haven't done an ounce of research. Your opinions were spoon fed to you since the days of Gerber and you haven't refreshed them since. If you actually have formulated a proper viewpoint, good for you!
2. Listen to Larry King. Be healthier much? An instructor of mine who gives a whole new meaning to nutty professor said in class poverty in America was solved with the invention of the Chicken McNugget. I won't take up anymore time or space discussing the major issues with this statement.

Adios ninos, Lini ♥
