I came out to my car yesterday morning and found this. I love my friends. Surprisingly I wasn’t upset, all I could do was laugh. Then I left a trail of post-it’s from my house to my work because I didn’t have time to take them all off.

We ran on this CRAZY accident last night. My partner and I knew it was going to be bad when we were going down the wrong way on I-25 and did not come across any opposing traffic! (which was bizarre!!!) Apparently a driver of a Jeep Liberty sped out of the RTD bus tunnel on Northbound I-25 going the wrong way and hit about 8 cars until it was finally damaged enough to stop. The driver going the wrong way was pronounced on scene, but fortunately no one else was seriously injured!!. But it closed I-25 for almost 5 hours.

I’ve been pretty quiet so far regarding the new 1 trillion dollar Healthcare Bill that is being pushed through Congress by a certain few. But the more I hear about it, the more absurd the Bill appears. Why should we trust the same government that bankrupted Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security with what will equal one seventh of the U.S. economy? And apparently, the public is starting to feel the same way about this Healthcare Bill as well, recently at a town hall meeting in Philadelphia, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Senator Arlen Specter got shouted down by concerned citizens who don’t want the bureaucratic system making a mess of yet another program.
And what’s this about Senators not reading the bills they’re passing? Isn’t that their job? To make informed decisions in the public’s stead? How is that possible when these lawmakers don’t know what they’re voting on? Senator Arlen Specter said that many senators divide these bills up into sections and have their staff read portions, and stated that his reasoning for this was:
We have to make judgments very fast.
I’m sorry but I read books longer than a 1000 pages, and it is possible. Yeah it may not be fun, but that’s why we pay them that handsome salary. That is what scares me the most, our system of government being compromised because people we elect to represent us and our interests are lazy and don’t want to read a bill, and as a result bill get passed that were written by a small group of people that don’t have the country’s best interest at heart.
