On to the polls

What really bothers me about this election is the renewed focus on universal healthcare. Every third Kerry sound bite is about his healthcare plan. Not only does is seem like another step towards socialism, but its mass appeal exemplifies America's growing unaccountability. My question is: How many of those without healthcare have cell phones? . If money gets tight, I'd rather nix the cell phone. But, see, that's my choice. We all make such choices and it's not the government's responsibility to pick up the slack. This leads me back to the focus of my letter, personal responsibility and accountability. I'm not criticizing anyone's choices, just asking people to accept responsibility for them. My father always told me "It's good to want." Yes it is and I excel at it. Unfortunately, I believe some have confused want with entitlement.
