A Whole New World.... With Health Care!!!

So today was the BIG DAY. Today the House Voted on the New and Improved Healthcare Reform Bill. So as of approximately 10:45 March 21, 2010 the bill PASSED! 219 to 212!!! The requirement was at least 216 to pass.
The next step in the Process is to be looked over and either signed or vetoed by the President. Since this Bill was created at the hands of Obama by Obama people then it should be guaranteed that it gets signed.

Here is the process in which it takes to get a bill passed into law:

So after all of this we are looking at a future of healthcare for all Americans. No matter income or disability. Nothing to prevent you from getting the help you need. There are thousands, No Millions of Americans who are going to benefit from this Bill.

As a country America seems to be selfless, we are the first to help in any given situation. We give more in money to other countries than we do to the poor and homeless of our own. We have no problem showing the world that we are prosperous, even when that prosperity is what is dragging us under. Please don't read what I am saying wrong. I am glad and proud of the fact that as a country we support other countries. This is what we are suppose to do. BUT. We have been lacking in the selflessness towards ourselves. We take what we believe is rightfully ours and leave the others around us to fend for themselves. With this new bill we are going to have to fend for each other. A concept drastically different than what we are use to. As Americans we should be supporting each other and supporting ourselves at the same time. I Understand that I am idealistic, but who doesn't want to live in a better world? This bill, this life altering, debate starting bill, is a step in the right direction don'tcha think?

until the fates let us,

Type of Girl

I often wonder what type of girl I am.

I always feel the need to speak my mind, but often quiet myself for fear of offending others. My opinions don't match those of the status quo. I am Feministic, Brutal, and Ungodly. I am very Passionate on any subject I feel kindred to. I will defend my side to the apocalypse.

My opinions on highly sexual women is quite odd. Unlike most who think they are loose, whores, sluts, and the like....I am just Jealous. Jealous of the fact that they have no fear of their sexual personality. Jealous of their ability to be who they are. Jealous of the fact that I am not. I fear rejection and embarrassment too much to let myself be free enough to hit on someone, and be willing to have sex that easily. It is an odd bout of low self esteem.

I do think highly of myself though. I catch myself looking down on others in my thoughts that don't use proper English. I DO NOT mean use slang words when speaking, I mean flat out need to pull out a translator to understand what they are saying, type people. I have no idea how they expect to get a higher paying job when they speak incomplete sentences. I have issues with baggy clothes that make you look unkempt. Be it pajamas in public or jeans down to your ankles I really have no desire to see them. They are fashion faux pas in my book.

I have found that I would rather sit at home and read a book than deal with the real world. This is a habit of mine from childhood. My punishment when little was not the disbarring of the television or friends but being banned from my bookshelves. It was agonizing. I love to lose myself in a world unlike my own, where I can Sail the Seven Seas with Rudyard Kipling, or deal with the supernatural with Charlaine Harris. I love it so much I want to create realms for others to enjoy someday.

I discover I want to dress up. I like pretty things, High Heels and Dresses, Make-up and Jewelery. I feel pretty. Then about halfway through the night I am ready and willing to beat the shit out of somebody for some unknown reason. I still feel pretty, but I am a bitch through and through. I will not take anything lying down. I may look like a Princess but I throw a mean left hook. My brother taught me well.

I don't particularly believe in any religion. I believe in the concept of God, yes. BUT I am more holistic and drawn to Nature than Christianity allows. I hold a lot of Wiccan values to be true. I find some smaller aspects of Buddhism and Hinduism amazing as well, I enjoy Yoga and its meditative purposes. There is actually a label for people who think the way I do on religion. I am not quite sure I like it, Christopagan. Being a Christian while holding Paganistic values. Look it up. It is real.

I often wonder what type of girl I am. Then I remember, I am not a mere girl anymore. I am a Woman. I am a Feminist, Gutsy, Brutally outspoken, Sexually Jealous, Bookworm, Bitch of a Christopagan Princess. But I am not one to put a label on things...

Until the Fates let us,

Ali
