I pay. You pay. We ALL pay. Good or Bad?

I've commented before on the intellectual horse power of you, my faithful readers. Now I'd like to challenge your opinions in an attempt to 1)Learn something myself from you and 2) open constructive dialog on an important topic that I feel we as 20 and 30 somethings really need to understand.

The question is simple. Is single-payer healthcare good for our great country or not? (check the poll to the right)

I haven't seen the movie Sicko yet, but I will just to understand what Michael Moore is spinning on the subject. Please understand that it's also our obligation to understand the opposing argument then make our decision based on those opinions, facts and personal beliefs.

Here's a link to an article in the Toledo City Paper, a free publication we get down here in T-Town similar to Real Detroit and MetroTimes.

I am anxious to read your thoughts.

Explosions. Violence. Megan Fox. July 4th.

Forget about Spider-man, Jack Sparrow, and even Shrek. My early vote for 2007 summer hero goes to Autobot leader Optimus Prime in Transformers.

These shape-shifting aliens from my childhood will be hitting theaters July 4^th. The special effects and action should be all the fireworks one needs to celebrate Independence Day. Speaking of…the trailer does remind me of Independence Day. I hope it’s nothing like it though. I had a roommate in college that sat in the room and replayed that movie over and over and over. JB Jabber knows what I’m talking about.

The action should be great. I doubt the plot will be very engaging but with all the special effects I’m sure I won’t care too much. I’d be remiss to not mention Megan Fox. There I’ve mentioned her and she’s hot, especially standing next to the Pontiac Solstice. Other talent includes Rachael Taylor, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Bernie Mac, John Turturro and more.

The latest trailer is below for your enjoyment. [Source: michaelbay.com]
