U.S. HEALTHCARE REFORM BILL PASSES

Good to hear that U.S. president Barack Obama's Healthcare Reform bill has passed the House of Representatives.

What this comes down to for me, the issue, at least, is that I find it disturbing that so many Americans do not think the extra costs involved are worth it to take care of your fellow American. Some would argue, as an article featured in The Atlantic Monthly a few years ago on the 'poor' victims of Hurricane Katrina pushed this same hypothesis, that (too much of) America is a 'me' society: To these people, you are great if you are doing well, financially and otherwise, but just don't dare be poor or marginalized.

A great new use for pterodactyls: genitalia covering. Brilliant!

And you can pick the size of Pterodactyl that you need. If you don't, that service will be provided for you. Especially in... the south. (Get it?)
