Maybe Greed Isn’t So Good

So right after writing about how greed and capitalism may be good I sat down and watched Sicko, Michael Moore’s new documentary about the health care system in the US. It turns out greed may have ruined the US health care and pharmaceutical industry so maybe it’s not so good. Or maybe it’s only good when applied to things consumers actually have a choice about instead of having to pay $60000 to get fingers put back on. The saddest part is that while socialist health care probably would work well it’s such a huge uphill battle in America since the health care and pharmaceutical companies are so well entrenched and like your money so much.

Sometimes I think perhaps lobbyists are the problem.

Just a thought. (OMG social commentary from me! I’ll try to keep it to a minimum as I hate politics but I am voting Colbert)

Half Life In 60 Seconds

This video is great it actually had me laughing out loud for reals! If you haven’t played Half Life I definitely recommend it the game is fantastic and is one of the best games of all time. Orange box also has Team Fortess 2 and Portal which are both amazing so if you like games at all it’s a ridiculous value.
