Not the Healthcare Reform Debate, Well, Maybe a Little

I was writing another post about the whole healthcare reform legislation thing, but decided I just can't write it now.  I am so utterly and completely weary of being jerked around by so many of the politicians that having been fart-assing about that I am...tired of it.  We have a lot of good pople trying to do good things.  But, then we have those that just don't seem to care enough to do the right thing for the most people possible.  They are too concerned with their own pumped up egos and their own jobs and the money they are getting and will be getting from big business.  Screw everyone else.

It doesn't help that the President seems to get involved only when it's time to speechify.  He's a moving and inspirational speaker, to be sure.  But it takes more than that.  Maybe he's doing it all behind the scenes.  Sorry, I want to see it.  I want it to be so in my face that the media will stop being so kind to the right wing nuts, liars and hatemongers that they will start talking about it.  The media, all of it, are so busy pandering to the right that they forget to report any other opinion.  Their noses are so brown, John Boehner is probably jealous.

Break some heads in public, Mr. President.  When you say you are for something, be for it.  Vocally and loudly.  The sqeaky wheel and all.  We need it, now and for the next 7.5 months.

Anyway, since I am not talking about the healthcare reform debacle, I want talk just a little about a movie I saw earlier today.  I so love NetFlix.  I've seen so many films I would have missed and all in the comfort of my own home.

This week my movie was Food, Inc.  I'm well informed and knew a lot of what is in this film, but to see it all together was horrifying.  It should be mandatory viewing for all high schoolers and parents.  Let them see what they are shoveling down their throats and into their kids mouths day by day.  And, quite happily, too!  I know most wouldn't give a rat's ass, but if even one in a hundred changed their eating habits and what they demand at the store, it would be worthwhile.
