“France is a nation devoted to the false hypothesis on which it then builds marvelously logical structures.”
Gore Vidal

So me and The Vixen saw Sicko this week and as soon as possible I’m moving to France. I mean I think it’s a good fit I did very good in French class in school. I like wine and cheese as well. I can sit around and talke about existentialism while smoking. Voltaire was from france…Josephine Baker moved there too. Plus there’s convenient access to the rest of Europe and it’s closer to Africa. There’s a lot more history in that part of the world and I love history. Plus I hear the coffee is the best around. In addition to this it’s not a bad thing to get 5 weeks of paid vacation, free healthcare, free college, ultra-cheap daycare, 24 hour on call doctors, people to come help with the baby and so forth. After seeing that movie I don’t come away as much with a sense of how corrupt and sick our system is (I’ve known that for a while), but how humane other countries are when it comes to taking care of the sick or injured. It reminds me of movies with the Army; someone gets hurt they don’t start filling out forms they start treating them (unless the medic gets killed, but that’s a different situation). The worse part of all of it is that I know just how messed up it is here. The thing is when even Cuba has a better attitude about helping people that should let alot of people know just how screwed up we are. There is nothing wrong with democracy, but capitalism is trap. It’s another class system in disguise. It’s one thing to remain on top because of who your family is, it’s another to remain there because you can pay. Consider that everytime someone steps out on a limb to make things better for the poor, someone else can pay money to block their efforts…and succeed. The worst example for me has to be the law. Where I could be in the right, but someone with more money can just tie things up in continued litigation until I can’t afford to pursue the issue anymore. You must remember as well that France is the most likely place to find all types of cheeses I never even heard of…the most baller spread ever! For real though this health care thing is teh suck1!1!11!! I’m considering (even though my job pays for it) canceling mine and getting the money myself to save. My roommate () recently had an issue with a splinter in her foot and they are now trying to “investigate” if it was a pre-existing condition. What the hell!?!?! “Yes I had a splinter in my foot for the last 10 years and the only way I can do anything about it is by ripping you guys off!” In France they reattached all four of this guys fingers for nothing. Damn insurance companies, damn them straight to hell. So I’ll be getting my French tighter. Does anyone know how to say, “And what bitch!” in french.
