I really try very hard to refrain from posting anything in my blog which reflects my political views or which would offend the menagerie which lives at Fields Quarter Horses. Tonight, however, I am overcome with the desire to express my displeasure with the passing of the Health Care Reform Bill in Washington.
I gathered the critters round and explained to them that there would be changes in the future and that these changes were going to be painful at times. George the Llama seemed unconcerned about the gravity of the situation. I suppose that this is likely because he is (in fact) an illegal immigrant. He lives here and fills a position that a donkey may do as guardian to our herds. He, however, does the same work for less pay and talks regularly of bringing the rest of his family to live here.
Ace is concerned about the availability of prescription drugs for his perpetual ear infections. The mare population is generally concerned about the quality of care that they will receive and how Dr. Mather will weather the sweeping medical reform.
Ringo immediately seized the computer and googled "What is Health Care Reform and How Does It Affect Me?". He is currently identifying if he is lower, middle, or upper class and whether he will be penalized for not providing health care for the cats who are in his employ.
So, as the night comes to a close- our animals will be tossing sleeplessly wondering what tomorrow will bring. They are discussing their individual party affiliations. There is talk among the mice about a peaceful demonstration in the form of a sit-in. For Wayne's sake, I hope they choose not to assemble en masse. I have a feeling that by morning, there will be more than one Grand Old Pet at Fields Quarter Horses.
