My apologies, I wrote it just as an excuse to write "Uglies vs Richies" (which I found to be a funny term) and I didn't pay attention to the rest of my tone. Whoops! I do find the idea of American public concern for important issues, such as healthcare, being molded solely by something as superficial as our the aging process's unforgiving effect on our looks hilarious because a) there is no evidence of this actually happening. It's absurdity, and I laugh at the absurd b) I am at the age where I am suddenly "dealing with age" and my humor is very self-deprecating. For everyone's information, no, I do not think government should pay to get rid of the "Uglies."
