Do you support a Universal Health Care Plan?

I fully support Universal Health Care. I think that other countries have benefited from implementing these plans.

American's should not go bankrupt from getting sick. The insurance companies have gotten rich from charging high premiums and that has got to stop. Everyone deserves to have quality health care in this country and I think that providing universal care is the answer. What do you think?

Is the Obama Picture a Racist Ploy?

As if there were not enough fireworks surrounding the Clinton/Obama debates we are now having to ponder if Senator Obama was the victim of a racial ploy. Lensmaster KimGiancaterino, with a little help from Bill O'Reilly, created a really interesting debate.

I think it was exactly that, a ploy. I would hope that the American public would be smart enough to realize that it is customary and polite to wear tribal costumes when visiting another country. However, I do think that it's possible that either Clinton or someone in her camp released the photo in an attempt to discredit Obama. Or it could be that the Republicans released the photo because they would rather run against Hillary as they think she will be easier to beat! Either way I think that it back-fired because Obama is still running strong. It was a grade school antic at best! What do you think?

Everyone Should Own A Sock Monkey

A few years ago my husband bought me a Sock Monkey Kit for Christmas. At first I was like, HELLO! waht am I supposed to do with this. Well one rainy day about 3 months later I made my first Sock Monkey and then I made about 8 more.

Now I love everything Sock Monkey! It's a fun stress reliever to own this pop culture icon. The world would be a better place if we could bring Sock Monkey's to work. What do you think?

Would You Trash Your Wedding Dress?

I really, really like the idea of trashing my wedding dress for photos. However I am already married so I told my husband that we have to get remarried so that I can get some cool pictures.

Now I know that a lot of women use rental dresses for the photos and keep their real dresses pristine but I love the idea of trashing my actual wedding dress. How many times are you going to wear it? The dress will sit in a closet and rot for the next 25 years until you try and get your daughter to wear it to which she will respond, Ugh, that old thing! So I say "Trash that Dress"! What do YOU say?

COOL WHIP vs. REDDI-WIP: Which side are you on?

Here's another awesome food debate from lensmaster JaguarJulie, I must be hungry! I prefer Cool Whip because I just think it just tastes better, although I only it eat frozen. It's great on cookies too! To me Reddi-Whip tastes like the can...Ick! As a side note I think that the flavored versions like chocolate are really gross. So which whipped topping do you side with? Try saying that fast three times in a row.

Can the music business be saved

Head Squid sethgodin asks a really interesting question, Can the music business be saved? Now some people might be saying, "I didn't even know it needed saving" Well the answer to that question is yes, especially if we are talking about the 1970's & 80's music business model. Here's why...

Growing up in Cleveland, OH in the late 70's, early 80's meant that your ear was tuned to 100.7 WMMS and your ass was hanging out at Record Den deciding if you should buy Genesis, Journey or Rush on vinyl. "Tom Sawyer" was on the radio the entire summer of 1981 and that's what you listened to. You saw Rush in concert, you bought a T-shirt...life was good. No iPod, no downloads, no pirating just good music...Right?

Wrong...I hate to burst anyones bubble but music pirating is not new, the medium has just changed. Bootlegged copies of music ran rampant in the 1970's they were just a little harder to create. Today Bootleggers are just average Joe's sharing music. It's the same thing.

So where does that leave the music industry? Trying to stop digital duplication is like trying to stop water leaking from the Hoover Dam with chewing gum. It ain't gonna happen. The music industry is in transition right now...so take a look at Seth Godin's debate to see what creative, insightful and just down right brilliant ideas he's got to take the music business into the 21st Century...and no it does not involve bringing back vinyl...Damn!
