Hard to believe it was a few hours after this memorable video with my little monkey a year ago today when I was ambushed by cancer that took me near the death experience. And, a few short days later, the doc just poured it on me…”Elias, the chance that the chemo works is 50/50″. In deed, time flies fast.
Thanks to the secret organized crime industries: the pharmaceutical, the booze, the tobacco, and the fast food industries aka “Mafia”, as well as the advertising industry promoting these killers since 1970′s, cancer cells have become so smart these days – smart enough that they can hit you with no warning sign.

Congratulations Washington, DC and the rest of our nation!!! We are one step closer to the 21st century! The HealthCare Reform is finally passed. Well, still a little bit of legwork left.
Our Senate approved landmark legislation this morning at 7:00 a.m. EST that would extend healthcare for tens of millions of our uninsured citizens. Our Senators voted for the Bill along party lines – 60-39 – ensuring passage for the upper chamber’s version of the historic reform.
Of course, our President hailed the Bill, describing it as the most important piece of social legislation for the country since the 1930s. I watched him on CNN. Before you read the rest of my post, here is healthcare reform rational for dummies:
Here is what I don’t understand about many of our people here at home mainly the red states – particularly the ones opposed the reform. I remember them cheering to send our troops to a very wrong War back in 2003. It was ok for them to spend trillions of dollars for that War, but not to spend trillions of dollars saving lives at home! What’s the matter with you guys? It is time to pull your head out of your ass and think straight as supposed to following your senators or congressmen who work for the insurance companies.
I lived in Europe for four years, Although there are many flaws with the whole EU thing, but for sure their public healthcare system has had a great success since it was created in most of their countries right after World War II .
If you think their existing public healthcare system is such a disaster, where are the town hall meetings demanding that it is scrapped?
Those of you keep bringing up the bankruptcy thing, we’ve been at the brink before and we’ve always found a way back. I just heard on CNN that 75% of the bail out money we gave to the Banks last year, are paid back.
So, chill guys, keep calm and carry on!
I feel like we are the only country where provision of healthcare for citizens is seen as a matter of national mourning for some people.
It is a regret not a single Republican supported the Bill. Oh well, they will eventually grow up. They have been wrong in most of their decisions, this one included.
Anyway, Well done, Washington and welcome to the 21st century!
