I’m waiting for my shuttle to the airport, so this is short and simple.
(I’ll respond to several of YOUR responses to yesterday’s health care debacle rant tomorrow.)

2. In the bottom right corner, click on MORE BOOKStwice. (Yes, this is the tricky part. No, I don’t know why Zoe is buried at the absolute back of the pack. Kind of makes you feel sorry for her, huh?) That will take you to ZOE.
3. Click on the yellow box that says VOTE!
4. Notify every person you have ever met in your entire life to PLEASE VOTE FOR ZOE. I seriously mean that.
5. Do this every day until 11:59 pm Central Time, October 30. It’s almost over and then I will stop grovelling and pleading, I promise!
Healthcare
I wholeheartedly agree that all Americans should have healthcare, but I don’t think the answer is a mandated, universal healthcare system – I just don’t think it will be very effective, and the job of paying for it will rest on the taxpayers.
I think two things need to happen – one, there needs to be regulation on the amount of money doctors and hospitals can charge. It’s gotten to the insane point; they charge massively simply because they CAN. And two, the insurance costs and criteria for being approved needs to go down. My mother has hyperthyroidism, mitral valve prolapse and a brain tumor. She’s one of the people in this country who needs healthcare the most and cannot get it. It’s absolutely riciulous.
Just my opinion.
Dunno if this is good news or bad news, but the Cheerios voting site still seems to be active. I’ve voted (at least) twice in the last two days…
