I feel the need to see if this will actually work to increase traffic. =-)

New Fireworks Law

It seems I'm a major proponent of the new fireworks law in Indiana. For obvious reasons. Anyways, recently I have been noticing a lot of flak in the northern papers about the law. I will call this the vocal minority. I think a lot of people are pissed off that they can't call the cops when they hear fireworks going off, seeing as its legal now. Mostly from northern Indiana. I have no complaints, I live in a major town and it was intense around the 4th of July, but other than the occasional firecracker, its quiet. Now the law makers are considering a change that will allow the local governments to choose for themselves. This means of course any government that chooses to take after our wonderful federal government will be making fireworks illegal. One town wants to make sure fireworks don't go up after 9pm. Anyone ever been outdoors after 9pm? Its still light. Course I am old enough to know that government doesn't necessarily think before suggesting these things.

Anyways, if your interested in helping fireworks, join the Fireworks Alliance and help keep our freedoms.

Government forced health care

First off... *blows dust off blog*
There.
Now since I'm in nursing school and work in health care I have taken a special interest in this case. I'm currently watching Today about a case about Abraham Cherrix in Alabama. This teenager has decided to seek an alternate method to chemo to treat his Hodgkins disease. A social worker decided that the fact that he refused chemo and his parents support his decision constitutes neglect. I find this interference in health care to be sickening. The patient, especially a 16 year old, should be able to choose if they decided to go through chemo again when he has the support of his parents. The fact that chemo is basically a contest between the cancer and the patients body on who dies first. It is VERY nasty.

The thing that bothers me is the fact that the government is taking this important right from the family. The fact is the government is once again sticking its nose into areas where it is not needed, and even is even of questionable legality. The fact that a judge says its ok does not mean it is legal or should be allowed. Neglect could be considered doing nothing, they are trying an alternative method. Then again, could abuse be considered putting a toxic drug (that's chemo) into the veins of an unwilling recipient? I would rather be beat every other day for 3 months than take 3 months of chemo. At least I would feel good some of the time after the beatings. I can't stress how bad chemo can be for people.

I will write about this later once more information is released.
