Time to find a new land of opportunity....

G'nite MACsters, hope ya'll had a good weekend and what not cuz its time for yet another MAD ABOUT COLLEGE post...before i begin lemme say thank you to "The Controversial" and all the others for being so understanding the other day....MAC appreciates ur cooperation very muchly =o). however i must ask u all to bare with me a little more cuz 2nite ima attempt something new/different.....this post is not gonna b "funny" or anything like that....this is something that I'm personally concerned with....it has nothing to do with college ppl really...but maybe as a human being u MIGHT c where i'm coming from....so if ur a reader cuz u want a laugh or a lil gossip or supm...this one is prolly not for u....but if ur an ole school MACster then u prolly might have an opinion about this one....here i go...

First of all if u don't know who Michael Moore is then u might wanna google him...u remember the Columbine High School Massacre?well..he did a documentary on it....anywho...he deals with controversial stuff like that for a living....I'm not sure if its his second film but i watched something done by his last nite named "Sicko"....i hope this isn't old news for too many of you cuz it'll defeat the whole purpose :S anyway....to the point...this film was all about American health care insurance..basically it was centered around normal people that had stories to tell....the first guy had accidentally lost two of his fingers while doing some work with a power saw at home...he didn't have health care insurance...he went to the hospital nevertheless..because he didn't have H.C.I as previously mentioned he was given one of 2 options....hav the tip of his middle finger put back on for $60,0000 or his ring finger for $12,0000.

Did u know that ambulances now literally throw people out n let them walk to a hospital if another emergency comes up?...there was this elderly lady that was "escorted" out of the hospital still in pain cuz she cudn't pay her bill n cuz she had no H.C.I....a mother lost her 18 month old baby becaue her insurance company told her to take her baby to a hospital that they had doctors employed at instead of the Martin Luther King hospital which was closer....the doctors at the MLK hospital refused to see to her because of her insurance company.....stupes....u really need to watch this for yourself ana cuz i cud go on and on...

This one couple...went over to Canada and gave false information because health care in Canada is free...what she did was illegal but nevertheless....there were these 2 elderly folks that were going to the US for a day....they bought insurance the day b4 cuz they said that they would never go into America without being covered.....did u kno that in Britain....not only is health care free....but ur medicine....€6.65...yes...6 pounds 65 pence....period...if u need 60-120...still €6.65....if ur unemployed...its free....its the law. the only cashier in a hospital in Britain is there to GIVE u money for transportation etc....PEOPLE...THEY PAY NOTHING!!! Lord...dor talk bout France...over there its ridiculous....1...besides health care being free...you are paid for any sick leave u take from work....this one man took 3 months off work and was still paid...65% by the gov and 35% by his employers.....if you've just had a baby in France...the government sends a nanny to u 2 do ur laundry etc....they make emergency house calls...called S.O.S medical....any hour...no matter wat ur problem may be...even if u just cut ur finger.

Again..u need to watch 'Sicko'....the corruption n dishonesty that goes on in America is unbelievable....this all began in 1971 with President Nixon...he willingly approved all of this by passing some bill or the other knowing that the insurance companies will benefit more n the government would hav 2 pay less..period...they even bought off good ole Hilary Clinton who at one time was all for Universal Heath Care....now...she's literally payed handsomely to shut the hell up...Micheal took a couple Americans that couldn't receive the H.care they needed in America to Cuba....there is apparently a hospital, clinic and pharmacy on almost every block in Cuba....they went to the hospital....American citizens eh....went to the Havana hospital...all they asked them was for their name and birth date...nothing else...they were taken care of as if they were Cubans. a woman mentioned that medicine she pays $251 US for...costs 5 cents in Cuba.

Now forgive me eh MACsters...but as of last night i am Anti-American...i shared this with a friend online last nite and he agreed with me 100%...America as we see it is not the land of the free and the home of the brave...true Americans are left to rot and die....the poorest British citizen is said to live longer than the richest American....again..watch the film n c 4 urself what I'm talkin bout...i dor kno how i goin come skoolfrom after 2day ana cuz i don't wanna wear no white agen....then red glass in the tuck shop...hmph...i'll drink water from a pipe or supm....almsot everything America claims to stand for is a lie....if they treat their sick n poor like dirt for financial gain...then should we really idolize them so much? Should we as Vincentians look up to America n want to be their mirror image....on a scale of 1-10....how Vincentian are you.....do u even know what makes u Vincentinan...besides skin color and dialect....whats the difference?

I'm not saying that all Americans are bad...God knows that there are many good ones still out there....what I'm sayin is that we shudn't b so quick to swallow everything that we see on our TV...the rich and powerful r the one that run that country....if ur neither....ur screwed....still wanna go 2 America 2 live after u finish College? Don't u think maybe ur country needs u more? Anyway sorry for such a long post but all I'm tryna say is that we as Vincentians need to care for each other instead of holding on to this crab-in-the-barrel mentality that we hav goin on here....think about it for a sec...even i'm guilty of neglecting those who are genuinely in need....christian on not...if we deny n ignore the part of us that cares or tells us whats rite form wrong..what then separates us from animals..or worse....AMERICANS?

think about it....g'nite MACsters...
