I’m gonna do this. Travel around the US with three of my bestfriends.

Wow, I’d love to do this

Well, let’s assume we buy a school bus, as pictured.  As a fun aside, my uncle owns a used car lot and has a school bus there.  It’s pretty neat.

Anyway, where were we.  Right, school bus.  Let’s say we go for a standard fare, type C school bus.

We said we wanted an older model, so let’s say a 1996 S-Series, which is built on the International 3800 bus chassis by Navistar International.  This is probably the kind most of us grew up with.

Now a cursory search say’s you’re probably looking at $5,500 for the bus, which isn’t bad.  But let’s keep in mind gas prices.  From what I can see, gas mileage for a school bus can range from 5 mpg to 12 mpg, so let’s take the midpoint and go with 8 mpg.

Let’s say we want to take this bus on a half decent road trip.  Let’s say, Seatle to Los Angeles to Dalas to Chicago to Boston.  This trip hits most major cities along the way. Really, an ideal roadtrip to cover all your bases.  That’s 3866 miles.  At 8 mpg, that’s about 483 gallons of gas.  At current average diesel gas prices, that’s $1945.

That’s… actually not as bad as I thought it would be.  Given you could bunk a good dozen people in a school bus at least, that gives about a total cost of $620 dollars each.  Adding in potential other expenses and repairs, that’s maybe $1000 each.

Huh…

I started on this tirade to try to show how awful an idea this would be, but it’s actually not that expensive.

…

Anyone want to go halvesies on a bus?

I want to do this so badly ohmygod

WTF DID MS FRIZZLE DO TO THE BUS!

I would love to do this

OKAY TUMBLR WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS??!!

IN MICHIGAN A BILL IS ABOUT TO BE PASSED ALLOWING EMTS AND HOSPITALS TO REFUSE SERVICE TO GAY PEOPLE BECAUSE IT ‘IMPOSES ON THE HEALTHCARE WORKER’S RELIGIOUS FREEDOM’

THIS IS BULLSHIT AND IT WILL MEAN THAT IT WILL BE LEGAL FOR DOCTORS AND AMBULANCE WORKES TO LET ANY GAY PEOPLE DIE JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR HOMOPHOBIA

PLEASE SPREAD THIS SHIT LIKE WILDFIRE (AND SOMEONE ADD A LINK TO A CHANGE.ORG PETITION TO STOP IT BECAUSE I CAN’T FIND ONE)

OKAY.  Let’s talk about how shitty this law is, and it boils down to exactly one point.  First, do no harm.  FIRST, DO NO HARM.  FIRST.  DO.  NO.  HARM. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME YET, MICHIGAN?  If you refuse to treat someone who is severely injured because their private life trespasses on your delicate sensibilities (and let’s just revel in the fact that this is basically like saying “oh, you like to be in handcuffs while you and your partner do the do, I don’t approve of those, you don’t get to be treated,” what happens behind closed doors shouldn’t be any of your fucking concern), you are responsible for what happens to them.  If they die because you’re a bigot, you did harm.

And, furthermore, let’s acknowledge that this is pretty much guaranteed to be a Christian thing, because it always fucking is (and oh my god, guys, could you stop making the rest of us look like prejudiced fuckheads), and we’re talking about a religion that follows Jesus.  Quick recap from your angry neighborhood minister’s kid, Jesus ate dinner with tax collectors and prostitutes and the lowest of the low and if you think he gave a flying fuck about whether Peter was fucking Paul, you are pretty much wrong. Here, I’ll sum up everything J-man ever said about homosexuality: ZILCH NADA.  NOT A GODDAMN WORD.  In fact, he said, basically, “Go ahead and chuck all the rules in the Torah, I’m gonna hit you with a new one: LOVE THY GODDAMN NEIGHBOR.”  

Finally, I’m going to be getting certified as an EMT in the next year or so because fuck you I am good at medicine even if I have “anger issues.”  And let me tell you two things: first of all, if I was in an ambulance with someone and my partner refused to treat someone because of this law?   I would treat the injured person, because it would be my fucking job and I am a decent person, and then I would rip my partner such a spectacular new one they would be a goddamn medical miracle.  Second of all?  If someone called and said “hey, that asshole you vehemently despise just dropped like a rock and I think he’s seizing,” I would still treat them, because medical professionals do that.  I don’t even give a shit if you do it out of the goodness of your heart, you are a goddamn doctor/surgeon/nurse/EMT/whatthefuckever.

TL;DR: when the transman in the car accident is bleeding out from a lacerated abdomen or when the woman comes to you begging for treatment for her wife who just blacked out, you treat that shit and you tell them that it’s all going to be okay, because you are a goddamn medical professional.
