Cerume=earwax
Cerbottana=blowgun

I really like Cristinas dedication in trying to reach me to inform me of the words for ear wax. She called Luca, Massimo and then Matteo just to track me down…and tell me….ceruma!!!
That’s valuable 😉

The strangest thing I find about the “pro-lifers” reaction to the health care bill is that they were the ones repeating comments about ”Death panels” and “rationing” as a reason to oppose the bill a few months ago. Nevermind that those things are happening with private insurance companies already…but the implication with complaining about Death panels and rationing is that the government is going to put a price tag on a person, and thus choose not to treat a sick person because it’s too expensive (again already happening with private insurance companies).

Now this bill will save lives (you can dispute the last paragraph, but I’m not sure this sentence can be disputed) and many people who claim to be “pro-life” are opposed to it. If you’re a Libertarian and you want to oppose the bill for reasons that are true to your beliefs that’s one thing, but to be “pro-life” and oppose this bill makes you a hypocrite in my eyes (I’m not sure Libertarianism and pro-lifeism are compatible).

If you can’t see that this bill will save lives but you’re “pro-life” then I will assume you are not thinking for yourself and are just in fact repeating what the moving picture screen people are telling you to think. I’m surprised more dems havn’t tried to sell up the morality and religiosity of health reform.
