I made myself sad. Why did I do that? I just…ugh. I listened to Hurt by Johnny Cash the other day and it struck me that the song was very fitting for Wade. And well, this is the result. I’m not crying. There’s just something in my eye. If you haven’t heard the song, listen to it. There’s just something powerful about it.

In 2012, after Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke was denied an opportunity to testify in front of congressional committee in favor of insurance coverage for contraception, Rush Limbaugh had a multi-day tear of demonizing women for having sex.
Out of many memorable statements — calling Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” and suggesting that the only legitimate contraception is “aspirin to put between their knees” — one of the standout moves was to demand that women give him pornography if they wanted their own insurance plans to cover contraception.
North Carolina passes a law requiring doctors to turn over ultrasounds on any abortion done after 16 weeks
Isn’t this a HIPAA violation? Like a huge one?
Yes, it is. (I did correct the spelling of HIPAA in your initial post to make it easier to find; I hope you don’t mind. The spelling is sort of counterintuitive in the best tradition of US law-naming.) In fact, it does even more than that–HIPAA was basically President Clinton specifically saying “the Fourth Amendment covers your healthcare.”
So not only is it a massive HIPAA violation, it’s anti-constitutional. This is basically a bunch of Tea Party nutcases showboating for their base. I expect the ACLU to be on this case very shortly.
This has been my thanksgiving.
I was the frappachino
im the guy in front of them
I’m the husband
I’m the hand
Fun fact: There is no scarcity of food, water, or housing. It’s just distributed excessively to certain people.
I beg to differ but okay…
Nah, it’s true. Just off some quick research, rich countries waste 222 million tons of food per year, which is nearly equal to the amount Sub-Saharan Africa produces in a year. (Source)
In 2009 everyday in the United States, leaking pipes lost an estimated 7 billion gallons of drinking water. (Source)
And in also in the United States, in February of last year, there were about 3.5 million homeless people, yet 18.6 million vacant homes. (Source)
You can “differ” all you want
But facts are facts
People on such short trips usually don’t stick around long enough to realize how ineffective they are being. In Uganda, I got used to seeing groups of young people come for week-long visits at the orphanage where taught English. They would play with the kids, give them a bracelet or something, and then leave all-smiles, thinking they just saved Africa. I was surprised when the day after the first group left, exactly zero of the kids were wearing the bracelet they had received the day prior. The voluntourists left thinking they gave the kids something they didn’t have before (and with bragging rights for life). But the kids didn’t care, because what they really wanted was school uniforms, their school fees to be paid, guaranteed meals, basic healthcare, and the like — the basics.
Worse, they can even be harmful to children who struggle with abandonment issues. This should not be understated; have you ever considered the negative impact it routinely has on kids after they bond with someone for a week, and then that person disappears from their life? If your justification for going on these trips is “seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces”, then you’re part of the problem.
