If Air travel worked like our health care system

I know I haven’t posted recently, but I saw this video today, and I can’t pass up the opportunity to share this with everyone.

So true and so depressing at the same time:

This makes such an important point about the obsurdity in our heath care system

Method (a natural cleaning product company) has a new ad out in support of the Household Product Labeling Act.  According to Method, the Household Product Labeling Act would require all cleaning products to list all ingredients on their labels.  Instead of the typical scare tactics, Method uses a bit of humor to raise awareness for the new bill.

I have been a complete slacker about writing blog posts the past few months, mostly due to Matt starting a new job and us moving into a new home.  So, much like my recent posts, I have a video to share.

You pucked with the wrong ice president!

Richmond gets a visit from a former president

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Bill Clinton came to Richmond today, and Matt and I decided to join everyone else from my office and attend his speech. I am personally not a big fan, but it was such an amazing opportunity that I couldn’t pass it up. It actually turned out to be quite interesting.

There was quite a buzz in the air, and a lot of people were very excited to get a glimpse of our former president. A few of my friends were even able to shake his hand. (more…)

Personally, I think if done the right way, electronic voting could be safe and possible, but it would require open-source software, stronger checks and balances, a paper trail, and most importantly, our shadowy overlords preventing Diebold from leaking the election results early:

Definitely makes you think!
