Just this past week my lower bottom molar has been bothering me. However I did experience this same pain last year while I was on my way to Japan. Strangely the pain went away after the second week or so in Japan then never returned until 15 months later. Perhaps it was an infection that went away by itself and came back? There is nothing wrong with the tooth, no decay, but long ago I had a filling near the root which could be the reason of its sensitivity. Welp, I surely hope it goes away again. I also been told root canals aren’t cheap. Since I have no dental insurance I’ll have to break the bank. Crap, this is the sucks!!!

Updated: April 21st
After 2 weeks the tooth still freakin hurts! The only time It feels decent is when I am sitting down and not moving, other than that it feels my nerves trigger off the pain and reeks havoc on my entire right jaw. The good new is my job now has insurance enrollments, but I will have to suffer a substantial pay cut for the weekly insurance fee. Well, it is either take the insurance or pay approximately $2000 up front to a dental firm. This is still the sucks!!!

Many Americans label some people as second class citizens because they walk or ride a bicycle and do not drive their very own over priced fuel capsule. While their FAT BEHIND enters a drive-thru at burger king and orders a quarter pounder of grueling trans fat! Thinking to themselves, (or even shouting) derogatory remarks as a result of a low life walking, or on the bicycle. They then feel better than that individual because they are in their high and mighty gas guzzler. That is the American way!

Because American is made for cars, the mass majorities of walkers (and some bicyclists) are more times than not lower class America (drug addicts, alcoholics, etc). With the exception of dog walking and exercise, many middle class Americans would be shamefully embarrassed if caught walking by their friends and colleagues.

Of course if you don’t own a car and don’t want to be labeled “car-less”, you can always move to New York City or Los Angeles. These are the only true places in urban America that you can live without being your own co pilot. Public Transportation is widely accepted. Doctors, lawyers, blue collar workers and even millionaires walk side by side with junkies and street winos. As for the rest of America, in most cases, “no car = no job, and no respect”.

America’s obsession with cars and the (haves and have nots) is by far one of the top issues that pisses me off about this country. I believe having a vast unified transportation system, “like Japan,” the quality of life for everyone could be much better; but fat chance that would happen anytime in this century.
