This video will give you shivers if you're an Arachnophobe like myself.

I posted this spiel on a childhood friend's FB wall because I was feeling inspired at the time and was tired of the whining and liberal bashing. Read this if you have absolutely nothing to do and feel like boring yourself to sleep.

This is a difficult issue to address but we have to start somewhere. You can't just hide from the problem and then snipe at the people trying to make a difference. It's easy to tear down and belittle the efforts of others but where are the rational and reasonable suggestions from the opponents?
It's great that I have insurance and most of us with decent jobs do too. What about those who do not. Do we ignore them? Do you think the young, single mother doesn't deserve access to healthcare because of her mistakes. It must be nice to walk through life with blinders on.
When did it become un-American to take care of our sick and homeless that can't (not don't want) but can't take care of themselves.
Where is the pride that our nation once held strongly enough to boldly proclaim - "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" at the foot of the Statue of Liberty?
I am ashamed and embarassed of so many of my fellow Americans that I should be able to respect.
I wish we could just move forward and make this work for the good of the people and the good of the country.
