Truth. Though to me, it just doesn't feel like the end until finals are over.

The end of high school is pretty bittersweet, actually. 5 years ago, I would have given anything to get out of that place. But now, things have gotten so much better to the point where I almost don't want to leave...

...Then I look forward to all the oppertunities coming in college, and come back to my senses.

Next Stop: Rider University. Peace.




I can't wait to get out. This year I started making friends. And now it hurts. Because I am not accepted into their circles. Luckily, next year I have another 4 years to make life-long friends.

Darunia. It'd be cool to have a big, fast heavy hitter. Except he is a pussy who is easy to lay the hurt on. Or have a big, slow guy who does mid damage, but is effectively invincible.

Oh, I'm not arguing that at all ||bass. Total peace has been unattainable, and might as well be stated as never being able to be obtained.

Beneficii. Ethnic cleansing is NOTHING NEW. The Boere War of the late 19th century had the Dutch in South Africa being carted to death camps by Kitchener for extermination. The Jews in Russia were subjected to the pogroms (which actually killed more than the Holocaust did). The cleansing has never stopped.

I'm not going to comment on the various Yugoslavian conflicts that have occured since, I don't know, 1400. But to say that it is due to one factor, being centralization, is totally wrong. The ONLY time where centralization has caused genocide in that region, OR TENSION, was the Powder Keg of the 1910s. In the 20th century, where the Austro-Hungarian empire (which had two capitals and decentralized regionalistic control with direct answering to the Empire =o). So, it could be argued that it was the LACK of centralized control that caused the incident in Sarajevo that ignited WWI.

The decentralized government of Rwanda (two seperate tribes) caused genocide. When one side attempted to take control (as happens in decentralized governmental systems). How about decentralized Italy, that had constant squabbling that resulted in thousands of deaths at a time when city-states went at it? And notice how that ended when Garibaldi and the other nationalists brought it into one consolidated nation with a central government? Then we got to see the magic of decentralized control played out in the various Canadian rebellions (although only a few hundred died in these, and are relegated to fairly obscure references in modern culture) and the American civil war where differences between two ununited sides played into bloody conflicts.

I think that all the systems need a major overhaul.

The Swedish system, thus far, seems to be the best. Doctors have lower wages, and can opt to work in partnership clinics. Nationalized companies help run the clinics (which, the companies being autonomus from the national health board are still regulated by government) for a profit. Which in turn gets recycled back into the system. In additional to semi-private companies which open up clinics that are payed for by the government pending review of the services. Mind you, this is the MODEL. The actual system resembles something similar to France or Switzerland. But, recentely the quality of care has been going downhill since the recent privatization of certain services.

Canada's is too expensive to maintain. The doctors are given the inflated American wage (which is too high for healthcare professionals...) and the system is too stretched out due to the size of the nation. Also, due to the size and regional disparity, an open-market system or a parallel system is a near impossibility, because it would mean either the private companies allocate too much to rich neighbourhoods, and the government focuses on the cities (which in Canada traditionally have lower incomes than the sub-urbs) and this would screw over the majority of the rest of the country (ie, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, New Foundland, Nova Scotia) which although they have a large central city, do not have enough population to really justify the spread of business. Additionally, the income in these areas is substantially lower than the Have provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and BC. PEI is a seperate case and a whole book could be compiled on that province's uniqueness. Either way, our system is far from perfect, but if we were to do some more fund appropriations and some redesign of the system that was outlined in the Romanow Report.

The American system...Oi vey. What a mess. When my auntie moved to Vegas to be a professional dealer at Caesar's Casino...All she knew was that she didn't understand why she would need full health benefits...While working. It became apparent soon enough when her daughter broke her legs. When the bill came to her, she flipped. It was alien to her. A bill amounting to several tens of thousands of dollars. Then, it got sent to her insurer and she had to still pay $2000 for the treatment (which meant that her daughter was unable to attend college in Canada). Now, I'm all for alternative delivery methods, but an open system has WAY too many potholes. Additionally, it is far too expensive for America's poor, and that number keeps growing. When 45% of your population is uninsured...That is dangerous during times of crisis. I mean, people stand to make money off of it, but it could do more harm than good. The US system needs to have a singular body to regulate and set higher guidelines. It needs to have a regulatory body on hospitals that allows for limited regional control while still safeguarding certain "controversial" treatments (like abortion) from being blocked. The US system is simply too hard on the poor family. Plain and simple. And when prices go up, the service for the uninsured, unemployed or the unlucky goes down. Something that has to be remedied.

The healthcare question is a big one. And there are many sides to it. I don't think that there should be a completely free-market answer to this, because business is out for profit. Additionally, I think that there should be a good deal of regulation and restrictions to make damn well sure it is safe.

Given what I know of the Canadian system (and how well it has worked, saving the lives of many of my family members...and yours truly as a babe) it ain't all that bad. It just needs a new coat of paint and a couple dozen new shingles to replace the ones that were blown off in the last big storm.

Also, all systems are about to be taxed.

Boom.
Bust.
Echo.

Only if it unnecessary.

It seems that when my uncle was rushed to hospital for complications due to surgery he got a prompt MRI.

Or when my mom complained about gall-bladder pains she got a test done within a month

Maybe these things never happened. Maybe my mom's gall-bladder never got swollen, causing now permanent internal organ damage. I don't know, though.

My mother had a severe infection of her gall-bladder. It became swollen and filled with fluids.

It exerted pressure on the rest of her internal organs.

The doctors required some pretty extensive surgery. On top of removing it, they had to do some "organ modification" as she calls it. And do a bit of work.

But I don't know. Because those darned tests take 7 months to be administered...I guess this never happened. I mean, I only got to live through seeing what the best and the worst of our healthcare system offers.

Well, you can tell that to my god-father who is a physician that has saved uncounted lives in the pediatric ward at the local hospital.

How about my aunt that works at Sick Kid's in the terminal illness ward?

Come on. Tell them. Please. Tell me that people who have trained for decades.

Why don't you tell my second cousin who is a medical technician in Bosnia right now that he is incompetent. That he is unskilled. Please. I mean, sure, if I could talk to him. We'd probably joke about it. But he was sent to help people. Because he is unskilled.

Look, the WAIT for MRIs is NOT that long. If it is deemed necessary by a physician, it is done quickly and effectively.

And sarcasm? I wish. If I was, I'd still be able to play a game of hard volleyball with my mom, but you know. Internal organ damage can change these things.

Incidentally, when she first started feeling these pains, she was on a business trip to Ohio for the hospital she works for, where a physcian claimed it was just a minor gastric problem. Nothing big there. No, now my mom has a shortened life span and can't do the things she loves as well anymore.

I <3 the American health care system for being so "competent".

Learn to read.

PROTO. PRE-EXISTING. THE BEGINNER OF. SO ON.

They may have been thrash, I'm not disputing this. But it stands regardless that their success is what has built up black metal.

In fact, in many black metal circles, the majority of modern black metal is seen as no more than extended thrash or "enblackened thrash". Which leads to stupid genre whoring which is annoying.

The highest number I've heard on killings is 295'000 by Saddam (extreme pro-war folk, ergo it's wrong). The highest number of killings by the States is 500'000 (extreme anti-war, ergo wrong). I'm going to say that the US, at this point is the in the range of 100'000 and Saddam killed 90'000. Contrary to popular beliefs the Hussein regime didn't have deaths squads massacring people every day. The attacks on the Kurds that are so flaunted have been joined in on by good ol' American allies and enemies alike. Primarily Turkey and Iran...Both of whom dislike the Kurdish people.
