Most of the people at work are nice, but they're pretty dumb in that All-American conservative sort of way. I was talking to one of them and she said she visited Italy after 9-11 and there were soldiers on the streets with guns and I thought "Wow, how frightening" and then she said that's what we need the most in America and was the only good thing about Italy when she visited.

Yesterday, she also went on about how America is going to die because our children will have to wait 8 months to have a medical appointment because of Obama's health care plan and how all of the people under universal health care flee to America and that's why we have illegal immigrants and how our health care is perfect right now.

When I said, "Um, well, France has the best health care system in the world, their citizens our healthier than ours, and it's cheaper than ours..."

And then she said that wasn't true because the whole of the UK has bad health care so France can't have good health care. I didn't have the heart to tell her that France isn't in the UK.
