I posted a piece on Alaskan Daniell's new chronicle, then realized this may very well be a topic near and dear to all of us! American, Austrlian, Canadian, British, German... European, etc.
I find that it helps me exist in the world better when I distract myself from my personal woes and really "messed up" life decisions to take it off the hook and put my mind to the rest of the world.
This distraction is finding myself grateful that I live in the West. Meaning in the western style of culture and government. Here at least I have the option of going for it, with varying degrees of success, on my LGBTQ trail, or holeing up in a corner and crying. From what I can see, it's all about the resources, i.e. the moola! Sure most of us didn't transition earlier in our lives, but we really couldn't 30 - 40 years ago, could we? Intolerance, predjudice, soccietal misundertanding of what gender issue really are, hardline churchy folks that miss the point of religion in the first place, non-existent affordable medical care for our population.... I could go on. I don't know that gov't funding is the answer, but my experience says that corporate societal participation would go a long way toward helping us out. Is any CEO really worth over 10 millions a year? Really?
Now it is your turn...

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. - Ronald Reagan
