more perfect

For my birthday I had received a gift certificate for one picnic/excursion. Redeemed it by getting to hunt for chanterelles in wilderness south of Stockholm. Perfect day, what could’ve been more perfect, nothing. Luckily for our entertainment, worse for Roots; Steam Piston Dog Child.

So..who are you voting for in this year’s election?

In the presidential election I will vote for Barack Obama because I believe he has a vastly superior plan to get many more Americans health insurance. He has also nominated two SCOTUS justices that make decisions that I feel are better for our nation’s interests than Romney has said he would. I really vote on 2 issues: healthcare and education. AND I see these as far more important to our country’s future economic strength, too, than absolutely any other issues. American is made of Americans. Educate them, make it impossible for their kids’ leukemia to bankrupt them, and they will kick ass here and around the globe. Look up Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs. UNTIL Americans have their brains nourished and their bodies cared for better, they won’t give a shit about global warming, human rights, energy independence or foreign affairs. You start with the foundation! Barack Obama is so very far from perfect, but with the ACA, his education plans, and SCOTUS noms, I believe it is fair to say he is MONSTROUSLY, SHOCKINGLY more qualified to be president of this nation I love so very much.

“A drifting man struggles to pull objects from the roiling sea below him and scrambles to keep the objects from slipping through his fingers. A stop-motion animation using textured and tactile materials, as well as personal imagery, that represents the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by my grandfather.” – Hayley Morris
