    To Be or Not to Be: America’s Healthcare Plan

    America must be the most egocentric democracy that has ever existed. In a world of ever increasing medical advances and improving healthcare, we are debating whether we should share these advancements with our own citizens. It would be morally wrong for us not to share our knowledge to benefit the sick and aging in the world, let alone our own neighbors. But as we fight over dollars and cents and particular language of certain procedures, the message is loud and clear to the world: we do not care about the well being of each other and the right of our citizens to a healthy life.

    Saying Goodnight

    The other night my five year old daughter asked me who made God.

    It was evident to all of us very quickly that we were entering a world unto itself. While there are borders, once you are inside the park, you feel that there are no restrictions and that this place is completely boundless. It is due to this sheer size that my recording of our experiences here will receive their own entries, since each one seemed as large as the Yellowstone itself.

    A Wii Catastrophe

    In 18 years, I have only seen my husband cry once, but the other night, I found him in our basement on the verge of tears. He was sitting on the couch staring at the wall. He just kept saying, “They broke it. I can’t believe that they really broke it.” What he was referring to and what he was blankly staring at on the wall was the $900 flat screen TV that his brother bought him for his birthday.
