NCSU Almost Won 2010 ACC Tournament

And by almost, I mean they did not even make it to the championship, but they did get farther than UNC Chapel Hill! NC State showed a lot of composure to show up for that tournament, and get two good victories, especially after the disappointing regular season. We missed another year of being invited to the big dance, but still I am not totally disappointed.

Besides, our season is not over. Tomorrow night on ESPNU at 8:00PM, we will be playing USF for our first game in the NIT Tournament. IT may not be as exciting as the NCAA Tournament, but it still gives us a chance to compete and maybe even prove we should have been a NCAA contender. In my opinion, the winner of the NIT is a much better team than the never heard of conference champion that plays in the play in game anyway.

In any event, let's show a little pride and see if we can root the Wolfpack on to a few more victories. With our good run in the ACC Tournament, and another good run in the NIT, that can give us some momentum going into next season.

The Health Care Summitt Is Happening Now: You Better Listen

Today, Republican and Democratic Leaders have met with the President and Vice President to talk about health care, and how they can make it better. I really hope they make progress today, as I think most people can agree health care needs some changes. The only problem with creating legislation is that we have hundreds of people representing nearly 300 million people, and most of them have conflicting ideas on how to reform our nation's top budget killer (even more than military spending).

The President opened up the summit by saying he wanted a discussion where we could find what both sides could agree on, and try and come to a commonground on those ideas the do not. For the common citizen like me, it would seem fairly easy to stay civil and have a good discussion on opposing views, and eventually come to a compromise. The only problem here is that elections are coming up. Anybody that signs on to this bill, if it ends up like the last one, stands to lose their next election for supporting this bill. On the other hand, if they put together a good bill that really helps us all out, and you adamantly opposed the bill through the entire process, you could be committing political suicide as well.

What I hope when all is said and done is that a bill is passed that can reign in the costs of health care, and at the same time making it better, such as banning insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.

To close, no matter how you look at this bill, no matter what side you are on, this bill could dramatically change your life. Now is a more important time than ever to listen to these debates, and voice your opinion. Send your representatives your ideas and your solutions. Do not sit back idle and then complain if you do not like the outcome. Let your voice be heard and help shape the future, not just for yourself, but for your children, and anyone else that wants to live in this great country of ours!
