86. The first of more to come?
Wed Jun 14, 2017, 07:15 PM
Jun 2017

What I'm afraid of is this may just be the beginning of a sad trend. And not just about hatred of one man or one party but about how it will personally affect people's lives.

Imagine if the idiot's health care package goes through and millions lose any type of health care coverage. Further, should someone be told his or her wife, husband or child unfortunately will die because they can't afford decent or life-saving care, some will make a choice when they lose everything to try to save a loved one but can not. And when that person who has lost everything because basic health care was beyond their reach and finally realizes how it happened, they aren't going to be concerned whether he or she voted for either candidate or even didn't vote. That person could feel there's no other choice than taking some kind of, in their mind, justifiable action.

And when they realize bullets are a lot cheaper and easier to come by than finding bankrupting their lives trying to pay more money than they ever had in their life for health care, I think I can see a choice being made.

You can weigh all the "good thoughts" you want, but the bottom line is they will feel someone was responsible and could have prevented this. And they may just take matters into their own hands, because they feel they have nothing left to lose and are angry at...someone for their situation.

Yes. I think this may just be the start of something we hope won't happen but looks as though it will.
When people no longer have anything to lose, they won't care whose fault it was, even if it was their own.

And to think the media might have possibly prevented this, maybe as early as 2001. But they had money to be made for themselves, investors and owners...none of whom seems to give one damn about whether anyone else tries to exist.

Maybe I'm wrong.
