Two quick but very important points

The gorgeous [livejournal.com profile] sansa1970  is running a competition for the best worst first lines from any fandom (freshly made up to be bad, no need to write the fic itself!). When I say competition, everybody wins! The prize is the joy you will bring to an increasingly depressed world. Hurry, entries close today.

The lovely and bright [livejournal.com profile] shiv5468  has an excellent post on why the NHS is not what many Americans are being told it is at the moment. Read the comments, too. I spent much of today wishing I had time to post on socialised health care systems, then came home to read hers and feel immense gratitude that it had pretty much all been said, and beautifully.
