Dec 2012

then the old folks could retire and let the younger people have jobs.

I'm so tired of my HEALTH being dependent upon mostly a bunch of rich, white dudes who couldn't care less about me. All these dudes are in the pockets of Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Med...which just wants to take my last f*cking cent then send me to some horrid nursing home or hospice where they still won't kill me. It's all just a system of TORTURE.

We give our pets more respect when they reach old age.
