(81,314 posts)7. Every time I've heard this kid speak, I can't help myself.
I immediately start thinking - "future president?"
I heard him speak about health care as a very human need and a human right. INCLUDING things like the individual mandate - or all those assholes who stand there like unruly three-year-olds and insist "nobody is the boss of me!" and "nobody tells ME what to do." As he put it - "it's the way we take care of one another."
