As I've said many times, I want the best for my parents. I don't want to get on the airplane, worrying about whether they are safe.
However, I also want a life. And, in that I think I am only normal.
The truth is that a system which forces a person to choose between having a life of their own and taking care of their elderly parents is a bad system.
Indeed, I will go further: a system which puts profits before people is a system which grants power to a small number ( the proverbial "one percent" if you will). It is an unjust, unfair, cruel system.
It is a system whose existence is a mockery of words like "freedom" or "democracy".
But even a person who disagrees with all that diagnosis could agree that the important thing is to see that my parents are safe, and well cared for.......
