By this point, I was intending to be in the middle of a very mildly successful job hunt. And while I have managed to fill out a few applications online, I haven't been able to devote as much time to that as I'd like. (So, um....yaaaaaaaay for easily obtainable fallbacks!) Long story short, insurance looks to be one of the more unpleasant parts of

Oh, my God...Animal Crossing is the Nintendo equivalent of crack. I got that game and basically never went outside except to work. It's addictive, but it's totally awesome.

Not say whether either is unconstitutional or not, but there are at least a couple of differences that could be brought up. Auto accidents tend to affect other people, namely strangers, whereas a person's health concerns would more likely be a strictly personal problem. If you collide with another motorist, you have an obligation to reimburse him or her. If you fall and sprain your foot, that's just your problem alone

Oh! And another difference is that a person can easily opt out of having to pay for auto insurance by - and this is the really clever bit! - not driving a car! However, if health insurance were mandatory...the only alternative would be, um, death, I guess. But let's not get into life insurance...

...makes sense-ish to me, at least!

I've just been watching the GameCube version of Animal Crossing thus far. Have had to physically restrain myself from asking to take it out for a test drive.

My sister has been playing it a lot lately.

Well, I'm glad you blog. Working may not be the most fun part of life.. but its only a few hours a day. I bet you will actually enjoy the barn once you get used to the exercise. Just go in with a positive attitude. Think, variety, nice horses, outside time! Oh and cash.

As per my contractual obligation to be predictable in my social anxiety, it's not the exercise that concerns me (although it WILL be interesting to see how my pathetic frailness handles this) as the interaction with terrible people. But I'll try to manage.

You know, I used to find Animal Crossing addictive, and even bought it for the Wii, but I don't really play it anymore...

... although if it had a Hot Coffee component, I might start playing again.

Kevin raises an interesting point. Yes, health insurance might be an excuse for living an unhealthy lifestyle. That being said, why don't you ever see any French guys binging on McDonald's?

Because you don't see many French guys, period. Because you live in Puerto Rico. Where I assume there aren't many French guys.

I believe that McDonald's is, indeed, at least moderately successful in France.

[anonymous]

Well, I've seen at least four or five French guys, given that my major at College is Foreign Languages and French is my primary language. Never have seen them during lunchtime though.

Yes, McDonald's is succesful in France. They're even opening one in the Louvre! But the French aren't shoving Big Macs into their stomach every other day like Americans are!

Another thing, Jess: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

Um....oui? *shrug*

I respectfully disagree about mayonnaise. A deli sandwich without it is a sad pile of necessary intake, but nothing more.
