pfft dont act like you didnt pay for it.

have you heard me tell the stories about the adventures in lunacy ive taken with the mentally ill? theyre comedic tragedy gold.
one day im going to write a dual-autobiographical broadway musical. starring me and my male equivalent and our parallel adventures in abuse and insanity.

itll be a boy meets girl story. the boy and the girl meet. fall madly in love and live parallel lives of solitude and insanity. mostly on separate continents. they come from broken abusive families. they tear through life destroying romantic relationship after romantic relationship. they live in constant fear of failure so they run from every opportunity that presents itself and hermit themselves away from almost all people. they live into old age, dying alone of the diseases they gave themselves through systematic abuse, hepatitis c and emphysema respectively.

itll be beautiful. the songs will be upbeat and vibrant of course because really they really really are songs about happy people in a happy life. you just have to use sad words to describe them.

ghost? elvis is still alive. he lives in a hotel room in the vegas with no windows or doors.

In reply to this comment by griefer_queafer:
Has Elvis' ghost taken over your account?

yes. really.
it was fucking bizarre.
and it preyed on a disenfranchised subculture. really i never go the whole punk rock evangelical christian thing. at all. not that youre not entitled to your own personal belief set and spirituality. its the bizare group think evangelical part that doesn seem to mix well. but whatever. i thought it was funny that the sermon was all about zombies basically.

i dont know, i was raised mormon and never saw anything nearly as bizarre there as i have seen in these hip rock band power point churches. like catholics, mormon services are very reverent and ceremonial and traditional. they also dont have like one guy that talks all the time. the congregation all take turns giving talks and running the service. and theres no paid clergy. say what you want about the mormons, their beliefs are full of shit and the dogma has hurt alot of people close to me. but the services are tasteful and frugal at least. and they dont get into the wierd shit until youre a high preist and going to temple. and until the recent funding of anti gay marriage propaganda i had pretty much no problems with how they spent and dealt with tithing.

i also totally thought going to mass with my catholic stepmom was a hoot.

I dont want to sound offensive but...really? I mean, really?

I had a girlfriend who was an evangelical and wanted me to convert, I went to church with her thinking it couldn't be too different from my somewhat traditional catholic upbringing. When services started we watched clips from The Passion of the Christ and then discussed how to get tickets for 5-10 minutes. Then the pastor rode in on a harley and we watched clips from Orange County Choppers. The episode was about the motorcycle guys teaching kids about how to work on motorcycles and the sermon was all about why it is so important to start your kids off learning about jesus early on. Then the full band roared into action (two drum sets, three guitars, several singers and a few horns) followed briefly by collection (I'm assuming to pay for the big screen tvs and projectors in the room, not to mention the band and the Harley) and then a Passion ticket raffle.

We left and my g/f at the time described how great it was that the church could get a message out that people today could relate to. I was going through my head thinking about how much everything must have cost for that one session (poverty, chastity and faith right??) and getting reamed out by her for not waving my arms back and forth in 'praise' when they were singing.

So, not that I dont believe you or anything but, damn, the things some people do.

fyi that whole incident above happened when i was struggling with disbelief I was feeling which only made things weirder.

my exhusband was/is severely mentally ill. when all else failed, one of his doctors recommended going to church. at that point we would have done anything . she recommended a church that catered to punk rockish young adults, which i suppose we were. so..... we went. they were all very nice of course, the church was called "deliverance" and we had to make jokes about how fucking creepy that is. it was in a dead, run down shopping center from the early 80s. it looked like a tattoo studio from the outside, with tattoo'd up skateboarding young punks seemingly loitering outside. at 21 and 29 we were probably the oldest people there.

sooo.... the pastor comes out. the sermon that day is about raising the dead. and how if jesus could do it and he was a man, then we could do it too!!! everyones homework was to heal the sick and raise the dead. FOCUS ALL YOUR ENERGY ON RAISING THE DEAD!!!!!!! then he played a 45 minute long guitar solo which made all the kids raise their arms or rock back and forth on the floor. also everyone HAD to give all their money, if they didnt raise $10,000 that week the church would be shut down, so give all your money then go home and get money from your parents.

soooooo we were of course highly fucking offended by everything that went on there. and besides that, a medical doctor prescribed a church sermon about raising the dead to mental patient with psychotic features. WTF?!?! i wont even get into all the hundreds of ways that could have gone terribly wrong.
luckily my husband hated religion even more than i do and knew damn well that was 100% bullshit and not license to go on a fucking zombie hunt with his machete or something.

something is terribly wrong.

i have insomnia. now shut the fuck up and upvote my shit.

Again 22,000 people dying from lack of healthcare is such a ridiculously high estimate, but lets use it. That means 305,507,237 people DIDN'T die from lack of healthcare last year.
Yes, 99.9927% of everyone in America had enough healthcare to save their lives according to the numbers YOU gave?
And this is a 3 trillion dollar a year problem????
Talk about pessimism.


Maybe the number would seem larger to you if we just left the bodies in the street so you could walk past them. If the grieving families were there lamenting the loss of their loved ones. How many people need to die for you to consider it a real problem?
