California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho...

Jindal makes it 14

Once a rising star in the party, now just a failed Presidential Candidate. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal dropped out of the Republican Presidential Primary race this week. 3 down, 14 more to go. Governor Jindal was the latest victim of this unique race. And the third Governor in a row. Jindal stated that this wasn't his time, but in reality he had far bigger troubles than timing. He never succeeded to break out from the crowded field of Republicans and was always relegated to the Undercard debates which are viewed by a lot less people. People were just not very enthusiastic about him, that is if they knew about him. Jindal fell because the like of Trump and Carson rose. But honestly, he never really had that much of a chance in this race. Maybe years ago, but at least he tried. This is the year of outsiders, and Jindal is a firm insider. He has been involved with the Louisiana government for decades despite his young age, so he can't say that he is an outsider. He ...

Perry drops out

1 down, 16 more to go. Former (and longest serving) Governor of Texas, Rick Perry has suspended his campaign for the Presidency on Friday. While there have been rumours of financial troubles and lack of enthusiasm in the polls and rallies, it still comes as somewhat of a shock, due to it being so early in the race. Perry was not doing well in the polls, and failed to reach the top tier debate in August, but was expected to attend the next debate in 4 days time in California. His campaign has been saying that this debate will be different, and with Carly Fiorina gone, Perry could outshine the other candidates, and gain traction. That will not happen now. Governor Perry was once the frontrunner in the 2012 race, but eventually had to drop out due to several big mistakes. Most famously, he forgot the name of an agency he wanted to scrap during one of the debates. He was never able to recover, and endorsed Mitt Romney. After the disaster of 2012, he returned to being Govern...
