Heavy thoughts on a Friday afternoon

1) with the pending Elections coming on I would like to say that, growing up I never had one ounce of interest in Politics. Only until I started working, then moved out of my parents place, became more independent, paid rent, and started paying a mortgage, took home paycheques, and paid income tax.... did I ever before become more interested in Politics and have started to understand the impact it has on society, every day and in all the minute things we do.....
That being said, I have concluded that I feel the voting age should be increased!

2) I am currently watching Un- natural Selection on Netflix. Wowzers. Scary yet fascinating and also the thought of curing genetic diseases is amazing yet a huge ethical question because with any good intention there  is always some weird freak that wants to tamper with human nature in a horrible way.
My heart went out to the boys in the show with the Eye disease and another with SME. People complain about wanting the government to cover things like public transportation (I had that discussion with one lady last week, who blamed the government for her 20% interest rate on her credit card debit - eye roll right there) , yet this show revealed the need for the government to control the Pharmacy companies that want to gouge people in real need of cures to their diseases. How horrible that there is cure but it is exclusive to only a few. That is what the gov should pay for or at least control the ridiculous robbery that the pharmaceutical companies are doing to people in actual need.
This being said, as I have alluded to before,
There's always a difference between "need" and "want".
And there is a HUGE misunderstanding of what responsibility means. To ourselves and to others.
There are so many people out there who feel that other people should be responsible for them for an issue clearly that the person is responsible for. But really there is a difference to that and us being responsible for those other people where things are actually not even in their control, yet we have the ability to help.
