My daughter is now 23. She acquired bi-polar and is having a real struggle of it. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act she is still on my insurance but even that will end in another 2 1/2 years so I'm not sure what happens then. There just is no effective treatment out there for mental health issues. None, because nobody wants to pay for it. No wonder we keep having these mass killing sprees.
The new route for the XL pipeline is no better than the old route because it follows river bottoms and a rupture runs the risk of polluting the drinking water of cities like Omaha and Kansas City. Realistically, that pipeline is going to be built because big money is behind it. It should follow ridge lines rather than river valley's because spills would do so much less damage. It should stay in Canada until it can hook up with the ridge between the Missouri and Red Rivers then swing over into Iowa and follow the ridge between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers before crossing the Missouri River east of Kansas City. But that probably would have added 200 miles to the route so big money said screw the problems cause by leaks.
