WSJ Overload...

Can I help it if I like the WSJ?

This first article is about The Right Stuff, and how American culture is changed. Although I would like to think things are not as bad with today's culture as the author portrays, I think the author shows a lot of wisdom in his analysis of Neil Armstrong, on this day after the anniversary of the landing on the moon.

The second is, you guessed it, another discussion on the current hot-button topic, health-care reform. I'm sure all of you have figured out my stance from my postings, but this article explains about Erisa, a federal law of which I was completely unaware. It's interesting, I remember John McCain explaining how important this idea was, I didn't realize it was already partially in effect. I was wondering how my employee insurance plan could be based out of Arizona, but now it makes sense. It's also a real-life example of how important it is, as my company searched for a long-time to get a cost-effective plan, and now I have pretty solid insurance, which I otherwise would be completely unable to get. If only we could allow anyone to by insurance across state lines.

I'm going to have to look for some other articles from other sources; I don't like to be one-sided. That being said, I do read other news outlets; all the time really. Can I help it if I often feel nauseated when I do?
