This is why we can have nice things

My news feed is bombarded with Facebook statuses that are constantly putting down the health care bill. Why can’t people be happy for good things? Some of the messages are negative because they don’t like Obama… a little butt hurt still? Really? Others don’t want to pay more taxes and all I can think of is, “How much of a prick do you feel like right now?” It’s selfish to think that you would only want to be concerned about yourself in these types of situation when we should all be doing our part in doing what we can. I’m not trying to start some comment war or anything … those things happen sometime, but just imagine if you were in Marcelas’s shoes. By the way Marcelas Owens is a young activist from Seattle who lost his mother because of a lack of health insurance.
