it seems everyone in the US is a little testy about health care these days. my prescription (and probably fuel to the fire) is a little socialism humor:

trash towers!
i've been so impassioned about this over the past week that i'm sick of talking about it. a more detailed summary may follow, but for now let's just say that i'm working on a plan of retaliation against ineffective chimney swift towers based on designs from texas (where temperatures are as similar to ontario as egypt...) which cost ~ $750 apiece, by creating experimental towers from garbage (straw bales, tires, cans and bottles, etc). it's great on a number of different levels, none of which i have the wherewithal to discuss.
in my search for supplies and building designs, i ran into Garbage Warrior, a tremendous documentary about a sustainable architect building completely self-sufficient (water, sewage, power, heat, food...), absolutely beautiful houses using predominantly garbage. it's really inspiring. on that note, i think i should stop watching/reading influential things by myself; inevitably other people haven't been exposed to the same things and usually refrain from following my suggestions, so i end up without anyone with which to discuss pivotal things.
i know, i know, if only i would stick to reality tv...
