"Health care" "debate"
So, let me get this straight. There are actually people out there who think that their friends (okay, acquaintances), neighbors, and political representatives want to (a) set up death panels to kill babies and grandmas, (b) give the government unfettered access to bank accounts, (c) ration toilet paper, and (d) I've lost track?
How? How can they believe that? I'm truly baffled.
Of course I realize that some (many?) of the people screaming at the meetings don't - but many do. And I just don't understand how.

These people don't even know where Stephen Hawking lives:

They can believe it because they lived through the Bush administration, and learned that the government can do pretty much any crazy thing.
What they don't get is that this isn't the Bush administration any more.
Barry - great comment. :)
