Some perspective?

You guys, read this article. It’s about seriously injured immigrants (some of whom are here legally/documentedly) who are getting deported (without giving consent) by hospitals that say they can’t waste their money on the rehab.
I was going to pick out the story of one person as the most egregious, but I realized that I can’t do [...]

I take it all back

I take back everything I’ve ever said about Obama not being the second coming. I take back my lack of faith in the American people. 
I really cannot believe that Obama won–and I cannot be eloquent about this, because I don’t have the words.
