Hi Angela.... First post huh?
Glad you posted.
I'm a nurse also.
A frustrated nurse I might add.
(That's a different issue all together though.)
People *Need* to get their "panties in a wad" over this whole mess.
We need to find our voice and speak up. We depend too much on *someone* else to get the job done for us.
Yes... I agree. This story should be a headliner *everyday* until this situation is cared for properly. The media goes for stories that sells the rating, but so does our government.
If our officials can't relate.. we have to *cause* them to understand that they are representing "We The People."
*Are we, as a nation too Compliant?
*Are we soft in all the Wrong areas, and not our heart?
*Is it easier to turn our head rather than address a difficult problem?
*Do we take the attitude that "It's someone else's problem?, Let them deal with it."
I think these are all questions that all Americans need to answer.
And Importantly we need to ask our selves...
What have *I* done to help this problem be resolved?
I find it very frustrating when our "so called" proper avenues to express our grievances seem to be blocked by a trash of beauracy. In order to be heard, we have to climb on top of the garbage and shout.
What is Wrong with that picuture?
Thanks for the post Angela.
P.S.
