Oooo....Health Care....

Health care!! "Greatest thing ever!" "Downfall of America!!" "End of the world!!" Agreements, disagreements, fighting, name calling, "I bet I can find 1 million people who hate health care", blah blah blah......

I will be the first one to call out anyone for something I don't agree with. I'll yell and stomp my feet and take my ball and go home with the best of them. If you've ever uttered the phrase "I think Rick Perry is a good governor!", we've gone a round or two.

So, I've always been opinionated and if there's one thing I've learned about having this quality is to have an opinion on a topic, you HAVE to be knowledgeable about said topic. Health Care, you are foreign to me. I'll admit, I don't know enough to agree or disagree. So I stay out of it. I know a lot of people hate it right now. A lot of people hated the civil rights movement, too, that doesn't mean it's bad. Usually, the dissenters are louder than the supporters.

So before you go praising or blasting the Obama administration about health care, or praising or blasting anything for that matter, make sure you know what the hell you are talking about. Too many times have I began a discussion with someone, just to figure out they have no idea what they are talking about. "Because I'm Republican/Democrat/Libertarian/Whatever" is not a stance or a defense for your opinion. Just because Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olbermann has an opinion, don't blindly follow it. Think for yourself.  It's the greatest freedom this country grants us.
