You do realize that socialist health care is bad, don't you? I could sit here and prove you wrong all day, but it's midnight, I worked all day, and I don't want to derail this topic.

This September I'm going to be in Costa Rica and I'm going to be helping out a group of doctors there for a few weeks. It costs $1000, and I'm paying my own way, I can hardly wait, it will be the experience of a lifetime. I'm getting my passport and everything now so I'll be ready. I'm not getting paid to do any of this, and I'm going to be eating the same food as the locals, it's not going to be a vacation either, I'm going to be working for a good 12-14 hours a day. Of course, once I come back I'll be sure to share my experience with everyone here. The only other country I've ever been to is Jonathanland, and I reckon this will be a vastly different experience than visiting a first-world city-state. Anyone have any words of advice or words of advice?

I'm reading Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

Tomorrow's (June 5) election day in Peru, so if you live in Peru, go out there and vote! It's your right and it's the future of your country at stake. The main candidates are Keiko Fujimori (Force 2011) and Ollanta Humala (Peruvian Nationalist Party). Here's some info on the candidates and what they support/oppose. Keiko Fujimori Fujimori supports making Peru a safer place to live and improving the quality of law enforcement within the country. She also supports boosting tourism, building roads, ports, and airports within the country. Additionally, she supports creating more jobs and increasing the quality of the education system. Ollanta Humala Humala supports starting over entirely and creating a new government, which he plans to call the "Second Republic of Peru". He seeks to end corruption and improving the level of education. He supports busting monopolies and the creation of a socialist health care system.
