Gad, Traveler -- your blood must have been boiling even as your heart was sinking. <-- medical metaphors!
What is so utterly amazing is that many of the blockheads at that town meeting are educated people who own their houses and have responsible jobs ........... but are incapable of simple arithmetic and apparently didn't attend eighth-grade civics classes.

I probably need health care right now, due to nearly biting my tongue off to keep from ranting or insulting during my visit home. Also, looking at US television, it's amazing how the so-called news and the advertisements can meld together to manipulate the audience into believing certain things. The main thing that got me was the fear and the ignoring of the fact that there are already major public programs such as Medicare in place.
To quote Traveler63's words: "What is so pathetic is the people who are shouting no government in my health care, no socialist medicine are on MEDICARE!!!! $96/mo premiums, backed by the government!!!!."
