Honestly, now.

So I have quite a bit of time on my hands recently. On the bright side, I get to catch up on the news. I still can’t tell you whose leading in what state, but I can tell you about recent heath breakthroughs. (Reading the political news is no fun for me. I still try to do it because it’s important, just not fun. Health, tech, and science are just more interesting.)

In my meandering about the different news sites, I came across this post. Please take the time to read it.

It really drives home the point that we need to be informed customers. Most of us wouldn’t buy a car based solely on the recommendation of the car salesmen. I think I can argue the same case for our health. When in doubt, get a second or even a third opinion. Too many people do things blindly. We just accept what we’re told and go on our way. Never mind that the people who gives us this information are human and, in spite of their excellent training, are bound to make mistakes. Okay, this is turning into a rant. It comes down to this: know as much as you can about what you’re getting into. From voting to buying a car to making decisions about your health. Now if you’ll excuse me, I try and muck through some more articles about candidates.

P.S. Nothing new about the visa status.

If you need some help with the candidates ….

It is to fun. You have many levels at which you can pay attention. You gots the “horserace” bullshit level that 95% of people have because that’s all the media care about, where the big story is whether hillary’s tears are real. You have the policy decisions. You have the political gamesmanship. You have the records of the candiates. It’s full of entertainment.

And John Edwards is the best. So there.
