Hi, Pete. I don't know if you read these comments or not, and I realize this comment is not in regard to what you posted here. But I saw a "tweet" regarding health care reform, and I find it unfortunate that you posted that quote about conservative views on it. I am not far right, I am a Libertarian (socially liberal and fiscally conservative). In the sake of fairness and not being what your "tweet" described, I urge you too take a look at this website: http://doctorsonstrike.com

I don't know if I agree with going on strike, and some of the website is a bit extreme, but for the most part I think it fairly portrays the views of a lot of doctors, not just politicians or someone off the street's view on health care reform. I have found that quite a few people in favor of the reform aren't actually very informed about what is in the bill, either. I hope you at least look about 2/3 down the page on the right where it shows what congress (specifically democrats) have voted to keep in and out of it. The one I find most ominous is that they rejected the option of having themselves and their families on this plan: signaling that it is going to be a sub-par and inadequate one.

If you are for health care reform, it is your freedom to do so in the country. But please make sure you are informed of EXACTLY what you are voting for, and demand that the reform provides it. I think the biggest thing that sticks out to me, as I am currently in school to become a health care professional, is that everyone is talking about the "right" to health care. But have you ever asked yourself, do you have the "right" to expect people to become doctors? If the government isn't paying for their medical education, why should they be able to tell doctors what to do with that education?

With that, I hope I have made a more rational argument for opposing the current health care reform proposed by the federal government. This probably won't change your mind, but I want people to at least see a more calm view of the other side.

And this quote is from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and is also on the website:
“Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I would not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything--except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the 'welfare' of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, only 'to serve.' . . . I have often wondered at the smugness with which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind—yet what is it they expect to depend on when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of the victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it—and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn’t.” (p. 692, paperback edition)

PS - Huge Fall Out Boy fan. Thanks for all the great music!

Your comment made my day! I'm glad that you live in Arizona (I assume) and thought the crowd sucked too. I was quite literally in tears when FOB started. But, like you, I sang and danced my little heart out with my best friends! We decided that, while the experience sucked, FOB and Blink were awesome. :-)
Glad to know that that behavior is not the norm for AZ!

uuh i liked the old hair better.. but it's all about the music, not the looks right.. :) did you at least sell your hair on ebay or something? i bet there are people who would sell their soul away for this :P :D .. btw bronx is such a cutie *-*

lemonpants — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:36:32 -0000

I know. I feel like if they came with Blink they should not have done it at a college venue with bands that market themselves as Stoners. It was just...a bad idea. And I swear I was telling everybody booing to "Shut the F*** UP! Fall Out Boy is coming on whether you like it or not!"
But I sang with my friend at the top of my lungs anyway. :) Hope you did too.
And know that Arizona isn't like that usually.

I really don't care about his hair much :/ He's still cute and i really like it. It reminds me of The Arma Angelus, Evening out with your girl friend and Take this to your grave years. ^_^ which is awesome. And he's still an awesome person. It's not like he cut is awesomeness off. Just his hair :/

Jamie9 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:36:03 -0000

YAY! I totally saw myself at the Irvine meet and greet. That's awesome! Irvine was such an amazing night! All the bands were on FIRE!

I was in Arizona the next day as well. That show was a fail for more than just Diaz's bass drop. That was the worst crowd I have ever experienced. All of us who drove out from Cali were appalled at how rude they were. I would have cried if I were you. On the real.

If you're only a fan because of Pete's fringe, I think you're a fan worth losing.
