Don't diss socialism. I know you don't like hearing this, and I have
stayed in the US and
do love the country, but... American marriage care is a disaster.
Now, I know you're going to call me a communist and yell at me for selling the country to The Reds. I know you're going to bring up horrible anecdotes from England, in which everyone is set up against their will with a partner by the State under Universal Husband Care. But the US is
the world leader in divorce rates. Go to any dating site and you'll hear enough anecdotes to make even the staunchest right-winger's heart drown in its own bleeding. How much worse does it have to get before you throw in the towel?
I know anecdotes may not mean much, I once knew a wonderful girl... she was 23, and even though she had dropped out of high school she made a living out of her McDonald's job and was steadily putting aside money for studies. She had her whole life ahead of her, and was full of optimism. Then all of a sudden, her father grew tired of waiting for her to grow up and demanded she get married. Since she had no significant other than her pit bull, which the unregulated church of course didn't allow her to marry
(this picking and choosing of clients would never have gone down well in
this neck of the woods, lemme tell ya!), she had to go to the altar alone and eat the bills alone - the costs of printing the invitations, holding the wedding ceremony, hiring the photographer, and the expensive party at the town's most exclusive hotel, came to an excess of twenty thousand dollars, which, I stress, she had to pay
alone. My friend did the only thing she could do - she filed for bankruptcy, losing her beloved pickup truck, trailer, and double-gauge shotgun, and now lives in my garage...
Look... Opponents of UHC need to realize that some people aren't simply lazy - there are guys and gals out there who simply can't get a girlfriend or boyfriend. I hate to bring up such a flick, but if you watch
Sicko! by Michael Moore, you'll meet a man who was so perverted he had to stitch up his broken heart all by his lonesome because the Government refused to provide him with a girl. You'll meet a bunch of guys who was so sick Moore resorted to taking them to Cuba to set them up with the bearded inmates known for doing unspeakable things to each others with frying pans, PC speakers and wooden doors when the guards weren't watching, and not even
they wanted them!
A good saying goes that before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. Vote yes on Universal Husband Care.
