The new health care bill passed in the House about five minutes ago (when I started writing) is a literal suicide pact for many political careers (fortunately) and the entire United States.
To start my voluminous entry of well-reasoned malcontent, I'll start with a joke.
When Obama plays Call of Duty, he uses the noob tube.
(I don't actually play any rated M games like CoD, but I still know a bit of the lingo)
This joke is a reference to Obama's utter lack of experience which gives him no right to be determining issues like this.
He is utterly inexperienced, as before becoming Senator from Illinois (a very inattentive one who rarely showed up for anything), he was a simple community organizer and a law school professor who largely skipped any actual practice. He has had utterly no experience in anything relevant to health care, economics, defence, and anything that would give him any skills as President. Not only is he unqualified to understand health care, he is absolutely unsuitable as a President, having little relevant skill from being a lax politician, a lawyer in theory, and a community organizer.
Adressing the suicide pact of political careers, this (if the public remembers this by November, people in America have short political memories) will most likely eliminate most Democrats' chances of reelection, at least the ones who voted for health care. It is quite obvious that the public is not especially fond of this bill, anyone who says otherwise ought to watch something other than CNN (or Communist News Network as some of my family says, and is much more accurate than Cable News Network). Their support of this demonic bill will likely cause massive public outrage that will leave these Democrats devoid of office. This optimistically will lead to a Republican government by December.
Hopefully, not all of these Democrats were actually corrupt enough as to vote for this bill, as Obama used a bit of threatening that hasn't received much attention. Obama, being the head of the Democratic Party, threatened any Democrat that votes no would receive no funding, support, etcetera from the Democratic Party in November. If my last paragraph is right however, they'll lose anyway. Obama wants compliments for his persistence, but compared to presidents like Reagan, who stuck to their guns to win respect, Obama drew his guns and cocked them.
Moving on to the actual bill, this is an insult and a power play.
One of the provisions that takes effect within 6 monthes is an outright attack on marriage. It states that any child can stay on their parents' insurance until they're 26 when unemployed. However, if I have this right, this does not extend to anyone who is married, since they are no longer a child and actually have a family and are the parents now. That means, if you're married and jobless, you can't get insurance where singles can. This will lead to people not marrying at all, or even living with each other before marriage, a barbaric act of primitive cultures.
There is also a provision in the bill that has nothing to do with health care but is included anyway. It gives the government the power to control student loans. This, as will be explained, allows Obama and his government to control what universities teach. All he has to do is minimize student loans allowed to a university he doesn't like and they'll run out of students. So, if they don't teach what he wants, he prevents student loans from getting to the university's students, and the university succumbs to his wishes or dies.
This is also a destruction of liberty. Every working American is required to buy health care, or they pay a fine. They can't choose. Or, this can be abused. They, if they choose the fine, which is cheaper than the coverage, still go to the hospital for injuries, sickness, etcetera. But the procedures still have to be paid for, and who pays for it? Those who actually pay their taxes and sign up for the health care.
It pays for the lazy with the funds of the hard-working. Those who get a higher education and thus receive more money in life now have to pay more for those who didn't work for a higher education. So, if you spend 8 years in law school to become a rich lawyer, you now get to pay for high-school dropouts who didn't care at all about their future and have been mooching off of welfare.
This also has devastating effects on seniors and disabled people, basically those who need health care most. To pay for the plan, Medicare and Medicaid are receiving cuts, that which pays for the 2 groups of people who need it most. This is pure folly.
Our taxpayers' dollars are now going to abortion now as well. Sure, Obama imposed an executive order to ban abortion funding in the bill, but there is a thing about executive orders that make this worthless. Executive orders only apply as long as the president wants them, so all Obama has to do now is wave his hand, and we'll pay for the abortion of an irresponsible teenager who won't take responsibility for their actions and kill an innocent child who hasn't even gotten a single breath of air or a glimpse of happiness, an entire life of potential wasted.
It isn't rightfully in the government's power, either.
The Tenth Ammendment states that any power not given to the government by the Constitution are to be delegated by the state. If a state wanted socialist health care, they would have voted on it themselves and it would only effect the one state that wanted it, not every single state. Massachussetts has done this already, so if the state wants it enough, they'll do it.
It is democratic only in the legal sense, not a realistic sense.
Only one political mindset voted for it, namely Liberals. Every other political mindset which make up at least 50%, namely Conservatism and such, didn't vote for the bill. 50% and quite possibly, probably in my opinion, more of the American public are not represented in this bill.
I would like to continue, but there is too much to remember and I lost the list I made of problems I knew about (there being surely more that I didn't know about, it is a 3,000 page bill, after all), so I am going to end right about now.
Not really. I have this left to say: Democrats=Bad^Manipulation+Nastiness(Communism)-thePeople(TheConstitution+CommonSense+Sanity), and don't vote for them in November.

Science Fair
This is that video I was talking about in my recap post. I made it to play at the actual event to entertain people before the judges reach them, and to make like we did our job way better.
I am confident I will do well at the science fair because my group is the only one with an awesome video with the Earth exploding. Plus, half of the trifold we are using is a diagram of the sun, Earth, and our solution, which is a ring of satellites if you can't tell from my other post.
I left out in my recap that I wrote about four limericks. One is about my flash drive, another about green lint, and two other things. I'll probably post them eventually.
Recap
I haven't posted in quite a while, so here's a recap.
In debate, I am the first alternate for state in Idaho in LD (I'm a novice, so this is awesome!).
I've been doing well at various other tournaments and I almost made it to nationals but I had a comms judge (communications) and I stink at that- I win by cold logic, so I lost one more round than I should have.
I have two videos, they're drafts for an upcoming project. See Below.

This one is for the project itself. My group and I are doing our project on solar storms and this is a quick draft. It will be a lot better in final, as it will talk about the dynamics and everything.
The second will be posted later as the post system can't take more than one for some reason.
I think I might want to mention here that I am a contortionist. Not as a job, I can just do it. Specifically, I can scratch my ear with my foot, put both feet behing my head, and hop around on one foot with the other behind my head, all without the use of my hands.
I had a rather traumatic dream a bit ago. It was the genocide of an entire colony. I could see the before and after of locations. The worst part was the genocide of all of the university students. I was working out how to defend the remainder of the colony from the colony center when I woke up. Also, I shoved a trash can in a demonic dragon's mouth.
For the above project, since it is being done by about a third of the freshman (my school has 3 freshman academies) as an event called Science Fair. The Honors English class is setting the whole thig up and I am on the decorations commitee. I have a draft of the video we are going to play (made by me)
If you were hoping it would have my name, you were wrong! I censored all the names.
If you really want a name for me, you can call me Gibbinater.
A random name I am rather fond of is Gustav Q. Gorbachev.
Qwerty is an adjective.
I have no clue what gibbinating is.

Limericks
Limericks are my favorite form of poetry. They are generally funny, and are rather fun to compose.
For a description of limericks go here. Some think they are always obscene when they're good, but honestly, I beg to differ.
They follow this pattern:
A
A
B
B
A
A's are longer, and B's are shorter (syllable-wise)
A's rhyme with A's and are all of a similar length, as with B's.
Here are a few of my own compositions:
A Vampire's Problem
Oh no, I ate some garlic and I'm stuck with a stake,
But I'm not dead even when I'm under a stack of rakes,
Mold and muck covers my head,
And I'm stuck between dead and undead!
I guess I'll become a Houdini and go jump in a lake!
I'm aware the pluralization in the second line sets it a bit off.
The Stache Lover
There Was Once A Boy With a Bell,
He loved moustaches, anyone could tell,
But one day he found,
He lacked a stache, "zound,"
He said, "must've knocked off my stache with my bell!"
Unfortunately, I had to start the second with a specific line, but I think I made it work.
These first two can be found here, along with two other poems of a type I can't remember, as they were for an English class. Two random people say they liked them, plus some of my family on the site.
Doodle War
Oh, how tragic, what a shame, I had come so far,
when my enemy used the devastating Death Star,
but wait, I can come back,
by inserting a massive tack
I can leave the Death Star a giant scar!
This one and the next few were written for two different competitive speeches in the event called expository. The above was written to capture the spirit of the Doodle War, where two people attempt to outdoodle each other.
Hyper Mobile
Not many are incredibly hyper mobile,
And it is almost always quite noble,
It’s a useful skill,
and it brings a thrill,
and it's the opposite of all things immobile.
This one is about double jointedness.
Contortion
An interesting thing is contortion,
Though those who can do it is a small portion,
It’s easily a fun job,
Though weirder than a giant glob,
And the pay is sometimes out of proportion.
This one is specifically about contortionism as an occupation.
It’s No Syndrome
Hyper mobile is no syndrome
As I prove when my foot doth roam
I feel no pain
Properly done it’s plain
That it’s no harm abroad or home
This limerick is about the myth that hypermobility is a symptom of a disease. It only rarely accompanies a disorder.
Double Jointed
I like double joints as I like pie
For which my liking is rather high,
I’m double jointed
And as I pointed
So I sponsor double joints with a great AYE!
I used this all encompassing limerick to close my speech.
Brown Skies
It's happening in every town,
The skies are turning a lovely brown,
Nobody else likes it,
I'm told to fall in a pit,
But this brown will never make me frown!
This last one was a limerick I had to write that had to correlate with the environment in an English class (different than the other English class). I don't believe in man-made global warming (I am more than willing to rant on this topic), so I did smog. I should hope the fact that it was shorter than most people's didn't hurt my grade.
Those are all of the limericks I have written for now, though next time I write one, it will show up in a post.

Gibbinater's Law of Mathematics
I have recently dicovered a mathematical trend. It is that any number squared is exactly one higher than the number right below it and the number right above it multiplied.
A possible formula is thus: x^2=(x-1)(x+1)+1, where x is any number, whether rational, irrational, negative, positive.
A simpler formula is this: x^2=ab+1, where a=x+1 and b=x-1.
A few examples: x=98969 98969^2=979482961 while 98968 x 98970=979482960
x=pi pi^2=9.8696044010893586188344909998762 while pi-1 x pi+1=8.8696044010893586188344909998762 (pi numbers are approximated)
x=0 0^2=0 and -1 x 1=-1
x=10 10^2=100 and 9 x 11=99
x=-3 -3^2=9 and -2 x -4=8
Random Mathematical trends make everything so much nerdier!
The only use I can think of is that when deciding who is better after 2 tournaments, when one guy got 1st and 3rd, while another got 2nd twice, it would mean that the guy who got second twice would be better.
If it turns out someone came up with this already, let me know.
Another completely worthless thing is that how you want to choose objects in a straight line so that the next object you choose isn't consecutive to the last in a line of four objects.
Each of these is an object.
a b c d
The combinations that result in no consecutive choices are:
b-d-a-c or c-a-d-b
I am quite sure that one is next-to worthless, as few of us will enocunter a booby trap that requires the pressing of buttons or selection of objects so that one choice and the next aren't consecutive.
If anyone reading this is worried about my mental state because I take the time to figure this out, fret not for I only think upon these matters when my mind rests idle without anything to occupy it's attention.
If you are still worried because I lapsed into an outdated mode of speech or because I inserted a disclaimer concerning my mental state, I simply have to say: I am as sane as a human can be.
