I came down to Champaign to pick up some meds and take care of some paperwork. It was also a good time to meet up with some friends.

Met up with Larry Gates and got to hear a few peeps of his new work. I am liking what I have heard so far; can’t wait to hear everything.

Stopped in to say, “Hi” to Mary and Larry at Wind, Water and Light. It is always good to see them. I really love their shop; always interesting new things.

Then had a drink with Jason. After drinks went over to the Art theater and we watched Sicko. By far Michael Moore’s best film. Made me really depressed. Health Care, Child Care, Work Weeks, and Education are so messed up in this country. I see how bad things are and want to do something about it. Don’t know if it is better to try and change a nations attitude or give up and move to another country. I know my problems with health coverage is going to be a pain in the ass the rest of my life, because of my Diabetes. It sucks that people are kept so far down. I have always been one to advocate giving everyone a fair chance and let things go. Universal Health Care should be a part of that. Wouldn’t that fall under the “Life” part of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?”
