Moronic Overly-Opinionated Politics-Focused Masses

I have been recently watching a multitude of political shows, as well as hearing way more than I'd like to about various political issues such as the recent health care reform. Now, I can't help but think of the quote 'If there are 3 people in a room talking about 1 thing, there will be 6 opinions', but still people just seem to be so carried away. I understand that people are both entitled to and likely to be pissed when a huge bill gets passed that raises taxes and makes people get health care, but why are they THIS pissed about it?

It's health care, not a declaration of war. This isn't about you being oppressed or your opinions not being heard. It's not about your taxes or health coverage. It's about A HEALTHIER POPULACE. That's a good thing right? A healthier country isn't exactly the ends of days.

I just realized one argument would be healthier = less death/more birth thus leading into over populace, but still, life > death in my eyes.

Am I the only person left alive that thinks about the 'greater good' as cliché as it sounds… This shouldn't be about what party you are from or freedoms you want to have from your government, it should be about making the country, or the world a somewhat better place… It's just so utterly depressing and annoying that people can't get outside of their little bubbles of ignorance long enough to see that shit is BAD out there and we should be making it better.

Then there's the whole argument that keeps sparking up about religion and which ones a leader should have. Why does it matter so much? People can have an inner standard of ethics without bowing to a god/gods. People can also be rather bad even if they are religious… The whole 'One nation under god' thing is way outdated. 'Freedom of religion' kicked 'under god' right in the ass didn't it? If someone can lead a country in a positive direction, we should let them. Be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any of the other thousand religions.

I just think the masses of people are becoming to self-opinionated when it comes to these things. Everyone seems to think they can run the country better than the people in charge. Maybe they can, I don't really know, but until they are running the country better, they should just shut the hell up and be good little boys and girls till reelection season.

In short, Health care is the greater good, keep your religion out of my politics, and play nice with each other. (I realize this is only my opinion, which makes me a hypocrite, but I frankly don't give a damn)
