The People you meet

In our little sacred camping ground there is a mix of people. For a couple days a strange guy has been sleeping in his truck with a white little trailer behind it. Kadizzle has had some interesting conversations with him. The fellow is about forty and seems to be well read. He seems to be a bit paranoid about cartels, and the federal reserve, as well as some vague international group running the world. Interesting to talk to but not sure exactly where he is coming from.

Today at the laundromat had a prolonged conversation with a waitress about our age. She recommended to her daughter to stop watching Fox News and try the BBC. The woman seemed to be able to clearly see through all the Republican nonsense just by applying simple reason to the stories they sell with their propaganda. It was sad to hear the woman tell about her struggles with our hopeless health care system. Anyone who thinks we have a system that works should have heard her stories. Sandy told us how she has to got to Mexico to buy prescription drugs for all the poor people in her mobile home park. Sandy was denied coverage for her thirty thousand dollar hospital bill because she made 15 dollars too much. She makes around 950 dollars a month. The great Republican State of Arizona is doing everything in it's power to make life miserable for the working poor. Sandy had a lot of great tales about the wonderful Sheriff here. The Sheriff is the hero of all the right wingers, but when you scratch the surface the man is a fraud and a jerk, but so is Glenn Beck. They just love the type. If people would break out of the habit of only talking with those who agree with them they could learn a lot. Both Lord Kadizzle and The Commander had the impression Sandy was a mean nasty person when we walked in to do our laundry. After talking to her she turned out to be very funny, very informative and we all had a great conversation tearing the right wing to shreds. Give people a chance, and let your first impressions go. There are many good stories out there if you just let them be told.
