Financial Burdens and Objects

How many of you feel like life isn't worth living? Do you feel as though you are a financial burden on your family? Come on, does anyone even really want you around? Do you feel unloved or unwanted? If so, do us all a favor and die so healthcare can cost less.

Weird, huh? That's basically what senior citizens are going to be hearing if reform in healthcare is passed. I can see it now, Grannies across the country muttering, "I miss the good old days when you could have a stroke in peace."

And seriously. About the "financial burden" thing? They will literally ask questions like that. To a PERSON. We are treating PEOPLE as objects. Possessions.

If Obama doesn't understand, let me explain. A few hundred years ago, there was this really horrible thing going on. It is called slavery. Slavery was started because some people decided that other people weren't worth as much as they were, so they made them work torturous hours and gave them no pay and sometimes beat them. Slavery was ended because people are not objects. That is why enslaving the elderly and the unborn to our whims is not all right. This is discrimination.

Just imagine: my Grandma has a heart attack and survives. I am soooo glad. Then the governmeent comes in and convinces her to DIE. What the...? "Gee, Sarah, I'm so sorry. How'd she die?" my friends would ask. And I'd say, "HEALTH CARE KILLED HER."

How can you try convince a person to surrender their life for the greater good? That's inhumane! Kill yourself so... so what? How will we benefit from having all the old people euthanized? And how is it wrong to go into a war (a just war--not an unfair one) to protect your country with honor, but it is perfectly acceptable to be living a perfectly normal life as a stroke survivor and then have someone come along and convince you to die just because you had a change in condition?

Let me get this straight. I can't die for my country in a war, but I can die "for my country" just because I moved to a nursing home? And maybe they're convincing the elderly to die to give their grandkids a better life. Well, then, why aren't we convincing mothers to have babies so their kids can have a life? Less than 4% of abortions are cases of rape, incest, or serious medical issues. So there would be few women dying, especially if the doctors would try to save both the mom and the child. But no. I can't die for my children, I can't die for my country, but I can die for being a stroke survivor.

You know how they'll be asking the elderly if they are "financial burdens on their families"? Owe-bama, YOU are a financial burden on my family. Get out of the White House.

I have this Nobama sign in my room and occasionally I slap it when I'm really P.O.'d. Well, yesterday I slapped it and I said, "DIE!!!" Then I rephrased my words, because no matter how completely and totally idiotic and ignorant he is, I don't want him to die. So I said, "No, LIVE! Uh... somewhere ELSE!"
