Joan Vennochi’s Column in the Boston Sunday Globe puts the human face on what should be important to us as a society and to our government and politicians

“A birthday wish for James - State shouldn’t narrow opportunities for those with disabilities”

It is well worth the time, so go now and read it, but here is the final line which rings so true:

My Birthday wish for him is a happy and productive life and a world willing to pay more than lip service to help him live in it.

Is any one surprised:

From todays Sunday Globe:

Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people in the country - 24.6 percent - and the number of uninsured that has grown by 35 percent during Governor Rick Perry’s 11-year tenure.

While I would not say Massachusetts system is perfect the graph comparing Texas to Massachusetts and the nation that accompanies the article makes it clear the Perry's version of Health care is anything but all inclusive.

A few days ago I wrote about my son who was having his shunt replaced; brain surgery.

Tonight I dropped him off at his home, with his friends, his housemates.

Actually no. It was saturday morning; but the hours and days have blurred to become one. Exhausted to the point of dizziness. Unable to feel having used up all feelings. Wondering what will come next.
